Q: I just purchased your Deluxe Menu maker. Wonderful tool!
I have made a menu, uploaded it to my HTML folder at Typepad in the correct place and tried several OTHER places too.
I have inserted the js snips into the head and body in all permutations of combinations.
I checked it each time by both opening my site and viewing source.
The menu is there. But it cannot be seen on the page. Never has been seen. Not even a hint of it being there.
I tried .js .file AND .js AND CSS.
No menu.
I checked on four browsers.
No menu.
I verified the files are in my index place by copying them to notebook.
I have done all of the above about 20 times EACH.
A: See, now you have:

It is not correct. You should call dmenu.js file only once.
Please, delete the second code.
There is now engine .js files
dmenu.js
dmenu4.js
dmenu_add.js
dmenu_dyn.js
dmenu_key.js
dmenu_cf.js
dmenu_popup.js
dmenu_ajax.js
and data file on your server.
Q: Hello. I am trying to test out your mouse over drop down menu and I am having trouble using the separators. Are there certain things that need to be in placed for the separators to work?
Nothing in the js code is showing me that they even exist.
A: You should set a separator in the menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","index.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
["-"],
["About Us","about.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
];
Please, see the following parameters:
//--- Separators
var separatorImage=""; //for subitems
var separatorWidth="100%";
var separatorHeight="3px";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="images/public/separator.gif"; //for the top items
var separatorVWidth="100%";
var separatorVHeight="2px";
var separatorPadding="";
Q: Do your popup menus work with Dreamweaver?
A: Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension and wedon't have plug-ins for it.
To install the menu into your html page:
1. create and save .js file with your menu parameters in Deluxe Tuner
2. open your .html page in Dreamweaver
3. Copy data.js file and "data.files/" folder in the same folderwith your html page.
4. add several rows of code (<script> tags).
For info see:

<script type="text/javascript" src="data.files/dmenu.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.js"></script>
...
</body>
That's all.
It is possible that Dreamweaver changes some paths,
so you'll havean error in the preview.
On your site or in your browser there'll be no errors.
