Q: There's no explanation of what to do after creating a dhtml menu example or where to paste the code, which files to upload..
A: 1. Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner.
When you open Deluxe Tuner you can click "File/New"
and add items and subitems using buttons "Add Item" and "Add Subitem" on
the main window.
You should set items and subitems parameters on the "Item Parameters"window.
See also other parameters for the menu on the main window.
More info about menu parameters you can find on our site
http://deluxe-tree.com/parameters-info.html
http://deluxe-tree.com/menu-items-info.html
You can also use Individual Styles for items and subitems

2. You should install the menu on your page.
You can click, for example, File/Export to HTML (you can't do it inthe MAC version).
Save your data file.
Add several rows into your html page.
<head>

<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var WorkPath="deluxe-menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
...
</head>
<body>
...
<table>
&tr><td>%lt;script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/data.js"></script></td></tr> //data.js - data file created in Deluxe Tuner.
</tablegt;
...
</body>
You should also copy all engine files
dmenu.js
dmenu4.js
dmenu_add.js
dmenu_dyn.js
dmenu_key.js
dmenu_cf.js
dmenu_popup.js
dmenu_ajax.js
dmenu_search.js
into "deluxe-menu.files/" folder. You should place this folder in the
same folder with your index.html page.
Try that.

Q: Can I use drop down navigation menu using subfolders? I am trying to build amenu system but the website contains a lot of subfolders.
A: Yes, you can use deluxe-menu on the site with a lot of subfolders.
You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Please, try to use these parameters.
Q: Expandable javascript menu doesn't actually affect the plus/minus icon I have specified. Any ideas?
A: It is not correctly to add expand/collapse buttons into the iconfield, they won't work. You should add icons there.
To add expand/collapse buttons you should use the followingparameters:
var texpandBtn=["img/expandbtn.gif","img/expandbtn.gif","img/collapsebtn.gif"];
var texpandBtnW=14;
var texpandBtnH=14;
var texpandBtnAlign="left";
