Q: I am looking at purchasing the Drop Down Menu Program. I cannot find any examples of other sites that may be using your product. 
 And each link that I click on for help gives me code to use on the page. Does this mean that I need to know JavaScript to use this program effectively? How recent is the newest version of your program? 
 Please advise if there is a support forum, also.
 
A:  I advise you to try our new Javascript menu -- Deluxe Menu, http://deluxe-menu.com. 
This is a newer version of DHTML Menu. It works better. 
I can send you some links to the websites with Deluxe Menu.

No, there is no need in deep knowledge of javascript to use the menu.
You can use Deluxe Tuner application to create your menus easily. 
We release the new version of the menu about two times a year.
Q: I'm having difficulty understanding how to set up css drop down menus. The differences between menuStyles, itemStyles, CSS and CSSText is very unclear, and doesn't seem to be well documented. 
 Do you have any better documentation or writeup on using this feature?
A:  No, unfortunately we don't have additional documentation. You can findall info on our site. 
We have several examples of the menus using css. 
You should set   var cssStyle=1; parameter and then assign your stylesto the items. 
  var cssSubmenu is a CSS class name for all submenus. You can set, forexample, background color, background image, borders for all submenus. 
  var cssItem is CSS class names for all items (normal state, mouseoverstate) in the top menu and submenus. 
  var cssItemText is CSS class names for text of all items (normalstate, mouseover state) in the top menu and submenus. 
It's possible to appoint individual CSS styles for separate elements of the menu using individual item styles and individual submenu styles.
Q: I recently downloaded the trial version of Deluxe Tuner to create a pop-up menu for my website. The menu looks amazing, and I am convinced from the trial that this is a product that I could definitely use. 
 However, I'm having so much trouble putting my horizontal drop down menu into my Dreamweaver html. I've followed the instructions given, but my menu still does not appear. What am I doing wrong? 
 Thanks, and I'm looking forward to figuring this out, because if it's an easy program to use, I will for sure be buying the full version!! 
A:  Check that you've copied "Homedir/" folder with all menus files and data.js file into the same folder withHome page.html file.
Notice also that in the Design mode your drop down menu may displayincorrectly. It is normal. You should view your page in browser preview.
Q: Couple last questions. I have 25 icons (images) on one page. Each image needs it's own popup menu. Obviously I now have the first one working. How and where do I define IDs number 2-24 ? Does each icon need it's own "source_" file? 
 Also, where is it defined that the popup menu is ID 1 ?
 
A: > Also, where is it defined that the popup menu is ID 1 ? 
Each menu has ID. The ID's number starts with 0. 
So, when you have several data files on your page you have such ID's: 
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="menu-top.js"></script> // ID - 0 
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="source_pop.js"></script> // ID - 1 
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="source_pop1.js"></script> // ID - 2 
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="source_pop2.js"></script> // ID - 3 
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="source_pop3.js"></script> // ID - 4 
and so on. 
> I have 25 icons (images) on one page. Each image needs it's own popup menu. 
If you want to have different Popup menus (there color, item, text,font and so on) you should create 25 different .js files with yourparameters. And call them from your page, for example: 
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript1.2 src="source_pop.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT> 
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript1.2 src="source_pop1.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT> 
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript1.2 src="source_pop2.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT> 
... 
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript1.2 src="source_pop24.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT> 
If you have different item text only you can use one 
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript1.2 src="source_pop.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT> 
file. But you should delete the following code: 
  var menuItems = [ 
 ["Next","testlink.htm"], 
 ["Prev","testlink.htm"], 
 ["Close","testlink.htm"], 
]; 
dm_init(); 
 
and move it to the html page: 
<body> 
... 
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript1.2 src="source_pop.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT> 
<script type="text/javascript"> //first popup menu ID - 1 
  var menuItems = [ 
 ["Next","testlink.htm"], 
 ["Prev","testlink.htm"], 
 ["Close","testlink.htm"], 
]; 
dm_init(); 
</SCRIPT> 
<script type="text/javascript"> //second popup menu ID - 2 
  var menuItems = [ 
 ["Text","testlink.htm"], 
 ["Text1","testlink.htm"], 
 ["Text2","testlink.htm"], 
]; 
dm_init(); 
</SCRIPT> 
<script type="text/javascript"> //third popup menu ID - 3 
  var menuItems = [ 
 ["New_Text","testlink.htm"], 
 ["New_Text1","testlink.htm"], 
 ["New_Text2","testlink.htm"], 
]; 
 
dm_init(); 
</SCRIPT> 
... 
<script type="text/javascript"> //twenty fourth popup menu ID - 3 
  var menuItems = [ 
 ["New","testlink.htm"], 
 ["New","testlink.htm"], 
 ["New","testlink.htm"], 
]; 
dm_init(); 
</SCRIPT> 
<img src="testimage.gif" width=200 onClick="return dm_popup(1, 1000, event);" style="cursor: hand;"> 
<img src="testimage.gif" width=200 onClick="return dm_popup(2, 1000, event);" style="cursor: hand;"> 
<img src="testimage.gif" width=200 onClick="return dm_popup(3, 1000, event);" style="cursor: hand;"> 
... 
<img src="testimage.gif" width=200 onClick="return dm_popup(24, 1000, event);" style="cursor: hand;"> 
... 
</body>
