Q: I need to have a horizontal menu and a vertical menu on the same page (obviously with different content). I did this as two separate "projects" in the tuner and gave them different names so that the files wouldn't step on each other. However, it looks like only the second menu works, though it does show both. I assume it has something to do with the variable dmWorkPath overriding the first value with the second. How can I have two menus each with different content on the same HTML page?
A: You can use as many menus as you want on the one page.
But you should call dmWorkPath parameter and dmenu.js file only once.
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>

Q: Is it possible to use an external file with these applets? Have tried
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="myscript.js">
</SCRIPT>
but it does not work!
Any suggestions? I have one site with many pages, it would be handy not to have to change 20 pages just to modify one link.
A: You can use "menuItemsFile" param, example
<param name="menuItemsFile" value="menu1.txt">
The menu menu items are in menu1.txt, so you'll need to changeonly this menu1.txt if it necessary to add/remove/change items.

Q: I really enjoy your tools and methods to create superb menus! On your webpage http://deluxe-tabs.com under "Product Info" and the tab "Individual Item Styles", you give an example how to make a "brind to front effect". I have tested it and works nice - but: When you add a subitem, won't one of the right javascript menu image come along - either on mousover or on selected. What do I have to do to fix that?
I'm very grateful for your answer!
A: These examples were created for the
var tabMode=0;
only (tabs without submenus).
Q: Your product seems to have menus draw only in a fixed 'hardcoded' direction ( opens either left or right )
is it possible to customize so that it is "self-aware" of the client browser window size...
"if there's room draw to the right, if not, open the menu to the left..."
A: You can see your submenus in any case.
They won't drop down out of the browser window.
Please, check it.
