Q: Why don't any of the effects work in Firefox? I have built several different types of menus and they don't work the same in firefox as they do in IE. Is there a way to fix this? i.e. adding any html code or anything?
A: Yes, it is really so. Firefox supports only transparency of the menu.
Visual effects work in IE only. other browsers don't support them.

Q: I recently started using a new software program on my home page and am running into an issue with your drop down menu in css working with this software.
Basically no matter what I change the DmZorder to drop down menu in css always shows up behind the dhtml windows that I am trying to use.
After working with their support team they have stated that they believe the problem exists within the menus and I am attaching a screenshot they sent me.
Can you please assist me in resolving this issue?
A: Try to delete the following properties from #main style:
POSITION: absolute; TOP: 0px; LEFT: 0px;
See the attached example.
Set also units in "px":
var itemPadding="2px";
It helps to display the drop down menu in css correctly in all browsers.
Q: Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to leave a main navigation item highlighted when in that section. For example if I clicked on "Contact Us" and when I am on the contact us page, the "Contact us" navigation would still be highlighted. I appreciate any help you might have, thanks!
A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover. We'll try to add the pressed state in the future.
You can set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
Q: I am evaluating various menu systems and need to know if your supports key navigation, like alt-F to select a menu?
A: Deluxe Menu has keystrokes support.
Use the following parameter to enable keystrokes support:
var keystrokes = 1;
0 - disabled (default), 1 - enabled.
Ctrl+F2 - enter the menu/switch to next menu on the page.
Arrow keys - navigate.
Enter - enter the menu.
Esc - exit the menu.
Use also the following parameters:
var dm_focus = 1; Show focus selection for selected item.
var dm_actKey = 113; Key code for keystrokes activation.
Works with Ctrl key only.
Default value is 113 = F2 key, 114 = F3 key, 115 = F4 key, etc.
