Q: Thanks for swift reply, however:
Tried the dmenu.js (only one we use) at our trial site and get the error :
Line 13
Invalid argument
- as you know this js file is obfuscated to one line, so using a debugger does not apply.
A: See the attached example. I've upgraded your javascript layer menu to Deluxe Menu v3.0.
use data file and engine files from the attachment.
You had several errors in the structure of menuItems.
It is not correct to write
["| Contact us","http://www.imarex.com/home/contact_us","","","","","8","","",],
["||| Energy team","http://www.imarex.com/home/contact_us/energy_team","","","","","8","","",],

Q: If there was a way to show the links inside the html code instead of the dhtml menu js files. Shouldwe use an alternative mode as (css Style?)
A: You can move menuItems into html page directly inside <script> ...
</script> tags:
<script>
var menuItems [
...
];
dm_init();
</script>
You can also use search engine friendly code and install it on yourpage before you call your dhtml menu js file.
You'll see text links in that case.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:
<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>
To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3)
Q: I'm confused in how to do this. I want to change the background color of one of the javascript and menu items. If I understand correctly I go to INDIVIDUAL STYLES and should be able to change the background color for one of the menu items there. Under item appearance I tried to change itemBackColor - but I can't seem to make it take affect (I tried clicking OK but its under the Style Names, so thats probably not it.
A: You should click "Edit Individual Styles" button.
On the 'Item Styles' tab click "Add style" button.
Set itemBackColor and click "OK" button.
Select the item you want to change the style for and assign new style for it. Go to Item Parameters window 'Item style' field.
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#EB2999,#590937"], //style0
];
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
Q: I've got an xp style menu that I'm trying to place within a table... Things are not rendering as I'd expect
I am trying to put the menu in the left column of the table, a form on the right side, and then center the entire table.
The html table is surrounded by a center tag (have tried a div tag with no difference).
It appears the xp menu is obeying the center tag, but not keeping it relative to the containing table...
How can I fix this issue? I have also attached the html source code as it is rendered in the browser in case that is of some use.
A: You should set the following parameter:
var tabsolute = 0;
You're using absolute position for the menu now.
