Q: I can't figure out how to get menu items to swap images to use like a traditional image rollover. In the Dhtml menu, I can change the style background without needing images, or I can use generic images as a background, but I have situations where I need to use unique images for each state of a button.
These unique image buttons contain text and graphics, and there are different images for different states: normal, mouse over, mouse down.
A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
You should use Individual Item Styles.
Please, see the example of Deluxe Menu here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/data-templates/vista-style-02-template-sample.html
You should use "itemBackImage" parameter.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11px Tahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=btn_greenblack.gif,btn_green.gif"],
];
Q: Can your dhtml popup menu work in conjunction with a scroll wheel?
A: You cannot scroll submenus using scroll wheel when you set
var smSmartScroll=1;
To scroll your submenu you should move your mouse.
But you can use scroll wheel when you set
var smSmartScroll=0;
Q: I've spent the last 30 minutes or so looking for samples on how to create a simple pop up window. I downloaded the trial, put in the html, saved the js file, etc etc. But there is no sample so I can't see exactly how to do the html.
Like, in the tuner it says to enter the ID of the link. What is this? where do I put the onClick code? where can I find the onClick code? There is a lot of info missing here.
Please send a simple template so I can see how a popup is done. Not a menu, just a popup.
A: > But there is no sample so I can't see exactly how to do the html.
You should create the pop up window in Deluxe Tuner and export it in the HTML page "File/Export/To HTML".
See more info about installation here:

> where can I find the onClick code?
See you can show the popup window when you hover, click or mouseout on some elements on yourpage. For example you've added an image in your html page. You should specify the ID for it, for example:
<p><img id="open_popup" border="0" src="images/submenu-bg.gif" width="170" height="29"></p>
So, in the Deluxe Tuner you should enter 'open_popup' object ID in the onMouseOver,onClick or onMouseOut fields.
Actually you can assign id to any object on your page manually. You should specify ID's - id="xxxx"for <a>, <div>, <img> ... tags.
If you want to show the popup when your page loads you should leave these fields empty:
onMouseOver:"",
onMouseOut:"",
onClick:"",Q: I appreciated your prompt response. However, if I set the exact height for easy tabs content, certain tab's content will not show up fully. We need to have every tab has different height in this site. Do you know why IE 7 doesn't behavior properly but IE 6 does? Can you provide a work around for me ASAP?
A: In that case you should delete height parameter at all from yourstyles.
<div id="content1" style="visibility: hidden;" class="tabPage">
