Q: I never had trouble with your other scripts but Deluxe Tuner is very difficult and I am about to give it up.
I am trying to set up a new navigation bar using vista 3-1. If I add another Vista drop down menu buttons, they have a completely different look to the ones with the templates. It makes no sense.
How do I add items and have it remain the same look?.
A: See, in Vista style templates we use Individual Item Styles for thetop items.
For, example select the first item on the main window.
In the "Item Parameters" window you can see Individual Styles assignedfor this item:
Item Style - Top Item
Submenu Style - Top Menu
When you add the new item you should assign Individual Styles for itin the same way.
That is all.

Q: I am trying to install a search engine on my site and am having trouble due to my use of your tree-menu system, which I love by the way. I really need to find a compatible script that will search your javascript menu system, or at the very least search another file with mirrored links. I DO NOT want to add the links to each page, this is why I love your menu's, there is one central location to change navigation statewide.
Do you know if there is a search script that can do this( js, php) or is there a way to make your javascript tree menus accessible to the search engine?
A: You can generate search engine friendly code.
Deluxe Tree is a search engine friendly menu since v2.4.
To create a search engine friendly 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.
You can find this GUI in the trial package.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
Q: I have a couple of questions related to the deluxe-menu software. Here they are:
I have been working with on a site and I am kind stack using the program. I want to use the tree option but not all java script drop menu items need to have subcategories. For example:
Category 1
Sub-menu 1-1
Sub-menu 1-2
Sub-menu 1-3
Category 2
Sub-menu 2-1
Sub-menu 2-2
Sub-menu 2-3
Category 3
Category 4 When someone click on the "Category 1" or "Category 2", I want them to see the sub-menus. However, when some click on "Category 3" or "Category 4", I would like to have it open the appropriate page. How do I do this? This will make a lot easier because not all java script drop menu items need to have sub-menus… I hope that makes sense and you can help me on getting this done.
Thanks in advance and looking forward to your answers,
A: You cannot use links for the top java script drop menu items in XP Style only.

but you can write:
["<a href='http://deluxe-menu.com'>Item 45</a>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
