Q: Will all your dhtml menu samples work cross-frame?
A: See how should you create cross frame menu:
1. To initialize the cross frame menu call dm_initFrame()
function instead of standard dm_init() function within data.js file:
dm_initFrame(framesetID, mainFrameInd, subFrameInd, orientation);
framesetID - id attribute of the frameset;
mainFrameInd - index of the main frame (where the top-menu is placed), >=0;
subFrameInd - index of the subframe (where the submenus will be shown), >=0;
orientation - frame orientaion: 0 - top-to-bottom, 1 - left-to-right; 2 - bottom-to-top; 3 - right-to-left.
So you should create your menu in Deluxe Tuner, save it.
Create html file with your frame set.
Set ID for the first frameset:
<FRAMESET id=frmSet rows=220,*>
<FRAME id=frame1 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/cross-frame-horizontal-1.htm"> //menu frame
<FRAME id=frame2 name=frame2 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/testlink.htm"> //content frame
</FRAMESET>
Then you should open your data file in any text editor and change
dm_init(); for example to dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);

http://deluxe-menu.com/cross-frame-mode-sample.htmlQ: I am really confused by all of this. Perhaps I should state that I am computer savvy, however, I am not at all familiar with javascript or html. I was hoping to use the deluxe tuner to avoid having to deal with any of this.
I removed deluxe tuner and deluxe menu from my computer and reinstalled both. When I went to download the license key, I extracted the file from the ZIP file and replaced the files that were downloaded with the free version.
I am now ready to re-create my menu. It says to edit my data file. When I try to do that it will NOT open. It says my computer does not have the right program? What do I need?
Also, once I have created the menu in Deluxe tuner, where should I save it? In the folder where my website pages are saved? Again, I am using Yahoo sitebuilder, so I am not exactly sure where I should save it in these folders?
Furthermore, when I tried to save a file before I removed Deluxe tuner and reloaded it, It would ask me if I wanted to copy all my files? What is that and what is the purpose?

You should open your data file with the menu in any text editor andadd your reg. key.
Try that.

You can save your data file in any place and then copy to the rightplace.

If you click yes, Deluxe Tuner save also all engine .js files and allyour images into "data.files/" folder.
You can also click Export->To HTML.
So you'll have html page with your menu and folder with engine .jsfiles and images.
So you should to do the following things:
1. open your page in Yahoo's SiteBuilder
2. open generated with Deluxe Tuner html source code of the page i anytext editor
3. copy such lines from html source code
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "data.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.files/dmenu.js"></script>
and add them in you <head> tag.
Then find such line, for example:
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.files/data.js"></script>
and add it in you tag in the place where you want to have themenu. For example, you can paste it in <table> or <div> tag:
<table>
<tr><td><script type="text/javascript" src="data.files/data.js"></script></td></tr>
</table>
or
<div align=center>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.files/data.js"></script>
</div>

You should also copy "data.files/" folder in the right place. In thefolder where you have you index.html page, created in Yahoo'sSiteBuilder.
Q: I regret to inform you that I have not fail understand, how can change place of the icon in software Deluxe Tuner(Menu).
A: You should add icons for the item in the "Item Parameters" window.
Now you have:
var arrowImageMain=["vertikalno menu.files/icon_office_tuner2.gif","vertikalno menu.files/arrv_black.gif"];
var arrowImageSub=["vertikalno menu.files/arrv_black.gif","vertikalno menu.files/arrv_black.gif"];
But you should add "vertikalno menu.files/icon_office_tuner2.gif" iconin the "Item Parameters" window.
So you will have in your menuItems
var menuItems = [
["New Item","testlink.html", "vertikalno menu.files/icon_office_tuner2.gif", "vertikalno menu.files/icon_office_tuner2.gif", , , , , , ],
["|New Item ","", , , , , , , , ],
["|New Item","", , , , , , , , ],
["New Item","", "vertikalno menu.files/icon_office_tuner2.gif", "vertikalno menu.files/icon_office_tuner2.gif", , , , , , ],
["|New Item","", , , , , , , , ],
["|New Item","", , , , , , , , ],
["New Item","http://deluxe-menu.com/order-purchase.html", "vertikalno menu.files/icon_office_tuner2.gif", "vertikalno menu.files/icon_office_tuner2.gif", , "_blank", , , , ],
["|New Item ","", , , , , , , , ],
["|New Item","", , , , , , , , ],

Q: I have created a CSS menu that appears in the <noscript> section, but am having a problem getting it to behave the same as the java menu. I want to show all the items as asingle line at each level, aligned to the left of the frame. I cannot find a way ofsetting left align in the style sheet or in the deluxe tuner for the css dhtml menu.
A: We've added align parameters in the new version 3.6:
var subMenuAlign="pleft";
You should set this parameter and specify width for submenu. You can use different smwidthfor each submenu using Individual Submenu styles.
