Q: I am contacting you on behalf of my client World of Envelopes as they currently use your menus. We are currently running their SEO campaign and would like to know what is search engine friendly about your new javascript hover menu?
Would it be possible for you to provide me with an example of a client that is currently using this new menu so I can assess the SEO ability of this menu.
A: You should generate search engine friendly code and install it on yourpage.
Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly javascript hover 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.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
We use search engine friendly code on our website,
http://deluxe-menu.com
You can view source of the page.

Check also that you don't have '+' sign before item's text in the top items, for example:

Q: Is there any way to keep a menu lit up when going to another page? Or do the menus always have to default back to their normal state?
I want the menu to know what page the user is on and keep that section highlighted. Any ideas?
A: You should set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
Q: I'm a having an issue with my items in navigation bar menu poping-up behind a flash object on a page.
A: You should add "opaque" parameter for <object> and <embed> tags.
See, how you should install flash on your pages.
