Q: What i need is when the menu item is clicked in the dhtml context menu, it'll run a json the onclick or mouseup event.
Is this possible?
A: You can achieve this by using standard html objects within items, for example:
var menuitems = [
["<div onContextMenu='your_code_here'>item text</div>", ""]
];
Actually you can use any html code within menuItems.
Q: How would I use the submenu feature to display itself only if a person is logged in. such as if a person logged in then the member area would expand, else it would always stay closed with only the login username section showing?
A: Unfortunately it is not possible. You can only add items depending onthe logged user.
You should use API functions:
see more info:

For example, you can use:
function dtreet_ext_insertItem (menuInd, parentItemID, itemInd, itemParams)
function dtreet_ext_deleteItem (menuInd, itemID)
function dtreet_ext_showItem (itemID, visibility)
function dtreet_ext_expandItem (itemID, expand)
Q: Would it be possible at some point to introduce more font decoration options to the mouseover variables, I would like to add bold as a mouseover font decoration, but obviously this is not possible at the moment.
A: Unfortunately, Deluxe Menu doesn't have such a feature. You can onlyset it's color. You cannot set the font of menu item bold when selected.
You should addthe following code in your data file:
function changeFont(obj, over)
{
obj.style.fontWeight = over ? 'bold' : 'normal';
obj.style.fontSize = over ? '13px' : '12px'; // You can not use this line
}
var menuItems = [
["<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Security</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Ease of Access</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Internet Options</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Windows Firewall</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Network and Internet</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Hardware</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: The secondary javascript menu style sub menu under Aircraft doesn't line up the same as in Tuner..
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:
--|------------|--
| top |
--|------------|--
| menu |
--|------------|--
| |
| submenus |
| |
Now a second row has 3 columns and all browsers can determine a width of the 1st column in the second row.
