Q: How can I add a separator to the expanding navigation bar using the dynamic functions?
It seems as though the only way to get a separator into the menu is by defining itbefore hand,
but the website I'm building will require me to reload themenus dinamically,
and I'm losing the ability to put separators on it.
A: You should add items using the following function:
function dm_ext_addItem (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams)
or
function dm_ext_addItemPos (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams, Pos)

Set the following parameter:
var dm_writeAll=1;
So, you should write:
dm_ext_addItem(0, 4, ["|-", "", "", "", "", "", "", ])

Q: We use IFrames and Frameset through out our program. Will Deluxe-Menu and Deluxe-Tabs work for us.
Will this work for us, using the layout below. Menu will be in frame3 and tabs in frame4. Should pop up in frame5.
<frame> <frame1> <frame2>
<frame3-Deluxe-Menu> <frame4-Deluxe-Tabs>
<frame5 - Content and more IFrames and Framesets>
A: Deluxe Menu doesn't work with <IFrame> objects. It works with<frameset> objects only. All it can to do with <IFrame> is to loadpages into it.
You should use standard installation for the menu (cross-frame mode).
See more info here:

http://deluxe-menu.com/data-samples/cross-frame-horizontal-1-sample.htm
Deluxe Menu and Deluxe Tabs will work fine in such frame structure.
Q: Can I call javascript within the drop menu javascript?
A: Yes, it is possible.
Actually you can use your own Javascript code instead standard links and html code inside item text. For example:
var menuItems = [
["text", "javascript:your_code_here"]
];
or
var menuitems = [
["<div onClick='urlSubstitution(\'transco/sheet.asp?stype=1\')'>Table of Contents</div>", ""]
];
