Q: I have a Deluxe Menu Multiple Website License and have been using it in several projects where it is running without problems. But now in my new project the sub menu won't drop down in the content frame, but will appear in the same frame as the main menu. What's wrong?
A: It seems that you open the submenu in the wrong frame.
Set ID for the first frameset:
<FRAMESET id=frmSet rows=220,*>
<FRAME id=frame1 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/cross-frame-horizontal-1.htm"> //menu frame
<FRAME id=frame2 name=frame2 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/testlink.htm"> //content frame
</FRAMESET>
Then you should open your data file in any text editor and change
dm_init(); to dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);

Q: I am just starting to work with deluxe menu for a site that I am developing. I will soon be going through the purchase of a license but have not yet reached that point.
At the moment though, as I build the framework for the site locally on my computer, I notice that the menu behave a looks differently in IE 6 and Firefox (I am focusing on a CSS base menu). Is this something that will be worked out once I have purchased the licensing key or is there something else that I am missing?
A: Deluxe Menu works fine in all browsers.
Try to set exact width for the menu width and menu height, try to specify unitsin "px":
var menuWidth="500px";
It's necessary to specify exact value for Mozilla browsers. It helpsto position menus correctly.
var menuHeight="20px";
You should also check your padding parameter, you should write it so:
var itemPadding="1px 1px 1px 12px";
You can also send us a copy of your html page (including .js files) ora direct link to your website, so we can check it.
Q: How can make dhtml tabs to open internet link in the same window?
A: You should set the following paramter in your data.js file (file, created in Deluxe Tuner),
where your tab-menu parameters (vars) and items ( var bmenuItems) are placed.
var bitemTarget = "_blank";
Default target for all items ("_self","_blank","_parent","_top",...).
If equal to "" - defined as "_self".
Or you can set target parameter in your data file using Deluxe Tuner:
"Tab mode" section in the menu parameters list.
Q: I tried the new engine files and the submenus now show up in the bottom frame.
If the new page in the bottom frame is a frameset itself, the menus will not show up. Is there a work around for this?
A: Unfortunately, Deluxe Menu can work within 1 frameset only. It can't work within nested framesets.
