Q: I need a menu system where on the click of certain items, server side code on the page can be called and executed. Can that be done using deluxe menu?
A: You can use your own Javascript code instead standard links. For example:
var menuItems = [
["text", "javascript:your_code_here"]
];

My array has this:

buy in the drop downs it appears as M?xico
I read in the FAQ about displaying Norwegian characters
(http://deluxe-menu.com/rq-javascript-menu-drop-down-Norwegian-characters-support.html)
so I tried this:
but that did nothing.
I have the charset on the page set properly and the letters appear properly everyone else, only incorrect in the menus.
A: You should write your Spanish characters in the following way:
["|México","#", "", "", , , "7", , ],
Try that.
Q: I see that you have the demo of the menu working over a frame so that it displays over the lower frame, vertical top to bottom.
However I have played around with your demo and can't seem to replicate the same feature.
Could you please tell me what I have to set to make the easy dropdown menu float over the lower framed window?
A: To initialize the cross frame menu call dm_initFrame() function instead of standard dm_init() function within data.js file:
dm_initFrame(framesetID, mainFrameInd, subFrameInd, orientation);
framesetID - id attribute of the frameset;
mainFrameInd - index of the main frame (where the top-menu is placed), >=0;
subFrameInd - index of the subframe (where the submenus will be shown), >=0;
orientation - frame orientaion: 0 - top-to-bottom, 1 - left-to-right; 2 - bottom-to-top; 3 - right-to-left.
For example, for the following structure:
<frameset id="frmSet" rows="185,*">
<frame id="frame1" src="cross-frame-horizontal-1.htm">
<frame id="frame2" name="testlink.htm" scrolling="no">
</frameset>
the dm_initFrame() function call at the end of data.js file will look like:
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);
Q: Is there a problem with your menu software and IE 7?
My menu was working fine, now that I upgraded the browser to IE 7, the menu doesnot show any more.
A: Try to set exact value for menu width.
For example:
var menuWidth="800px";
Your menu should work fine.
