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: Hello we have a javascript menu on our site. I want to know howcan we have our vertical drop menu appear for people who do not have javascript enabled on their computer? The problem is whenever someone doesn't have javascript enabled on their computer we get a lot of errors on our stats page for missing menu images. Please let me know how we can eliminate this situation.
A: When your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript onpages you load you can't see a dynamic page content. So, you cannotsee your javascript menu at all.
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.
You can use search engine friendly code, so you'll see all yourlinks (for the main items and submenus) when your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript.
You can generate search engine friendly code.
Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
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.
You can find this GUI in the trial package.
Run Tuner, load your vertical drop menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
Q: How to set the icon vertically top when the menu in dhtml text is wrapped?
A: Unfortunately it is not possible to align icon vertically now.
But you can do it using html code within menu in dhtml items, for example:

["<img src='deluxe-menu.files/orangeDot.jpg' style='border: 0 none;'> Product Info hgdgfjh aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaa","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: Thank you for your help, I have downloaded the updated link the .js files are there. I have been using the tuner and was wondering how to change the colors of the main menu bar. I have selected a template that we like (Vista 3, #5), but it isn't quite the right shade of green. I have figured out how to change the colors of all of the "sub" menus, but I don't see where to change the main menu bar. Is this possible, if so, where do I make the change(s)?
A: Top menu items in Vista styles use images as backgrounds. You cannotchange its color in Deluxe Tuner.
You should change the image color. You can do it in any Graph Editor,for example PhotoShop.
