Q: I am a registered user, and I really like your menu system.
With my old menu system the user could right click on a menu item and the browser would display an option to open the page in a "New Tab".
Is there any way in the javascript menu html to allow the user to choose to open a link in a new tab?.
My users are restricted to using IE.
A: You can try to write the following code for your items:
["<a href='index.html' target='_blank' class='home'>Home</a>","", "", "", "", "Return to Index page", "", "0", "", ],
And create styles
.home{
color: #FFFFFF;}
.home:hover{
color: #FFBEBE;}
Try that.
Q: I'm interested in to buy the product of yours: deluxe-menu. But I've got a dude.
I've been working with the trial version, but I haven't been able to put HTML code within the javascript pop menu Item, in order to do actions like opening a new URL, or opening a file or page with .htm extension.
A: Actually you are able to paste any html code within items.
For example:
var menuItems = [
...
["||<nobr><FORM method=GET action='http://www.google.com/custom'><input name='as_q' value='search
the web' size=15 style='font-size:10'> <INPUT type=hidden name=cof
value='LW:144;L:http://domain.edu/images/sulogo.gif;LH:45;AH:center;GL:0;S:http://domain.edu;AWFID:e01cb67b8afe383e;'> </form></nobr>","", "images/icons/search.gif", "", "", "", "", "2", "", "", "",],
["test","testlink.html","",]
["<a href='testlink.html'> test </a>","","",]

Q: I am using cross frame menu dropdown. I have three frames: Top, Left and main (middle).
I am using the script and data from your sample file; it works fine. Only problem is submenu is offset to the right. It does not show up exactly down below the top menu.
What could be the problem?
A: Deluxe Menu doesn't work correctly (incorrect submenu position) if youhave complex frame structure.
The problem is in a structure of your frameset.
Mozilla browsers can't determine absolute coordinates for a frame, so submenus drop down with an offset.
You should create, for example, the following frameset structure:
--|------------
| menu
--|------------
|
| submenus
|
Now a top row has 2 columns and all browsers can determine a width of the 1st column in the second row.
You should write init function in the following way in that case:
dm_initFrame("mainframe",1,3,0);
