Q: I want to use my own function within menuItems in the drop down menu button.

Q: I am using deluxe-menu for the third time to create a school web site. It has worked fine on the previous two sites, but I am making a horizontal menu this time instead of a vertical menu. The menu won't align itself correctly in Firefox. I read the post in your FAQ and I set the align tag in the TD element and also the size attribute, but that didn't work.
Could you give me some suggestions. It looks fine ie IE, but not Firefox.
A: Try to specify exact value for menu width.
For example:
var menuWidth="800px";
It's necessary to specify exact value for Mozilla browsers. It helpsto position menus correctly.
Q: I am in the final stages of testing and need some advice and help.
I have two problems I am trying to address.
1) Arrows on dropdown menu select.
2) Load time.
Please notice, I have to use absolute paths for the dropdown menu select to work.
1) I can't get the arrows to show, so I tried to add the code for images in the first bold sentence below.
2) I tried to add the second line for absolute paths for links to increase load time in the second bold sentence. It appears that the load time is increased by about 3 seconds and that the menu is the last to load, even though I have tried to have this as the first html to load.
Neither one of my commands appear to work.
This site has over 10,000,000 items on it, and I can't wait to get this up and running. Your program is the perfect solution for anybody with a website.
A: 1) Now you have:
var arrowImageMain=["mainmenu.files/arrv_blue_2.gif","mainmenu.files/arrv_white_2.gif"];
var arrowImageSub=["mainmenu.files/arr_blue_2.gif","mainmenu.files/arr_white_2.gif"];
You should set your arrows in the following way:
var arrowImageMain=["arrv_blue_2.gif","arrv_white_2.gif"];
var arrowImageSub=["arr_blue_2.gif","arr_white_2.gif"];
2) Your menu is very large. I advise you to us AJAX like technology.

You can also try the following things:
move all <script> calls into <head>, but delete dm_init() function from mainmenu.js file -- move them instead offiles calls, i.e.:
<head>
<script src=mainmenu.js>
...
</head>
...
<div><script>dm_init();</script></div>
It this case data will be loaded when <head> will load, but after thatdropdown menu select must be shown quickly.
Let me know about results.
Q: My menu bar will not “center” when I view it via the Firefox and Netscape browsers.
