Create contextual menus for your pages. For this purpose you should assign a special function for the object you want. The current coordinates of the mouse pointer or your own ones can be used for the contextual menu.
When the submenu is larger than the visible area of the page the submenu will be automatically decreased. To see all the submenu items you do not need to use scrollbars or something like that - just put your mouse to the bottom of a submenu and it will be automatically scrolled! You can also specify height and width for each separate submenu.
Build menus completely based on Cascading Style Sheets. It is possible to appoint the individual CSS styles for separate elements of the menu.
Q: Now on IE for Windows, the menus disappear as I roll over them, though not always. I'd say 90% of the time they fade away as my cursor crosses them. 10% they stay and I can get a good click.
On Safari, they work great.
A:See menu parameters they contain: var smShowPause=0; var smHidePause=0;
You should set, for example: var smShowPause=200; var smHidePause=1000;
Try that.
Q: Is there a way to center floatable menus horizontally on a page? I used to use absolutePos=0, and all of my menus were centered ok, but when I tried floatable=1 I found that I had to change toabsolutePos=1 to get the menu to float, and this messed up my centering. Since I have multiple menus of different widths, I'd rather not have to hard-code the menu width, but please let me know if there's a better way.
A:Notice, when you use floatable menu you can't use relative menu position. So, if you use
var absolutePos = 0;
and to center the menu you use <p> or <div> with the center alignment your menu won't float. To center your floatable menu you should set absolute coordinates.
Q: Does dropdown menu javascript supports right to left languages?
A:Yes, Deluxe Menu support right to left languages, set the following parameter:
var dmRTL=1;
Specify also align for your items:
var itemAlignTop="right"; var itemAlign="right"; Q: How can I upgrade to Deluxe Menu v2.0? Now I'm using v1.14.

var dmAJAX = 0; var dmAJAXCount = 30; var dmRTL = 0; var dmObjectsCheck = 0; var menuBackRepeat = "repeat"; var menuHeight = ""; var transDuration2 = 200;
