Q: We are looking at using one of your deluxe menu programs on our web site however we need to know:
1) Can we access all different options such as color, font, size, border, background in each menu?
2) Can we use the various templates with each menu, each type of filter?
3) how about the various styles listed, can we use those in whatever selection we make?
A: Yes, you can create menus with different styles and use them on theone page.
You can see it on our website. On some pages we use different menus.For example:

Q: Is it possible set a menu item to pressed when a page is loaded when you have multiple drop down menus on the page?
I have 2 menus side by side and I was able to set the pressed item with the JavaScript API as described in your FAQs but when I try to show an item as pressed in a second menu on the same page, the corresponding item in the first menu shows as pressed. Is there a different function that I can use for this or a way to reset the menu ID in the second menu to start from where the first menu left off so I can use the same function?
A: See the first parameter in
dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
function is index of the menu.
So, if you use several menus on the one page you should use differentmenuInd parameter.
For example you have:
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data1.js"></script> //menuInd=0
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data2.js"></script> //menuInd=1
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data3.js"></script> //menuInd=2
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data4.js"></script> //menuInd=3
So, for the second menu you should write:
dm_ext_setPressedItem (1, 2, 5)
Q: I have spanish characters that are not showing up in my menus correctly.
My array has this:
["|M&eacute;xico","#", "", "", , , "7", , ],
buy in the drop downs it appears as M?xico
I read in the FAQ about displaying Norwegian characters
(http://deluxe-menu.com/rq-javascript-menu-drop-down-Norwegian-characters-support.html)
so I tried this:
but that did nothing.
I have the charset on the page set properly and the letters appear properly everyone else, only incorrect in the menus.
A: You should write your Spanish characters in the following way:
["|M&eacute;xico","#", "", "", , , "7", , ],
Try that.
