Submenus can be shown in 4 ways: - From from left to right + upwards and also left to right. - From right to left and also from right to left + upwards (e.g. for right-to-left languages).
Use images for icons, backgrounds of submenus and items. Using images you can create menus entirely based on graphics.

Q: How can I upgrade to Deluxe Menu v2.0? Now I'm using v1.14.
A: How to upgrade to v2.00 --------------------------------------------------------------- You can download the licensed engine .js files from the same link in your license message. Deluxe Menu v2.00 has new parameters and features. To upgrade to v2.00 you should do the following.
Step 1.     1.1 For Windows users       a. Run Deluxe Tuner v2.0       (can be found in the trial menu package v2.0       http://deluxe-menu.com/deluxe-menu.zip).       b. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed): select File/Open…       c. Save the file: select File/Save, then click "No" button when the dialog box appears.
    1.2 For other OS users       a. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed) in a text editor.       b. Make sure that the following variables exist in the data file:
      var keystrokes = 0;       var dm_focus = 1;       var dm_actKey = 113;
      var dynamic = 0;       var smHideOnClick = 1;       var itemAlignTop = 'left';       var smSmartScroll = 1;
      var dmAJAX = 0;       var dmAJAXCount = 30;       var dmRTL = 0;       var dmObjectsCheck = 0;       var menuBackRepeat = "repeat";       var menuHeight = "";       var transDuration2 = 200;
If one of the variables doesn't exist - add it at the beginning of the file.
      c. Save the file.
Step 2. Now open HTML-page that contains Deluxe Menu.
Step 3. Replace existent tags of the menu by the following code:
Step 4. Save HTML-page.
Step 5. New engine v2.00 has 7 .js files. They are:       - dmenu.js       - dmenu4.js       - dmenu_add.js       - dmenu_dyn.js       - dmenu_key.js       - dmenu_cf.js (new v2.00)       - dmenu_popup.js (new v2.00)
Replace all old .js files by the files from v2.00.
Try that.
Q: I'm wondering if you can use the Link Item of the Deluxe Menu to have ASP code, similar to yoru FAQ below, only replacing the Javascript with ASP?
Q: I want to use Javascript instead of usual links for menu items. How can I do that? A: To do that you should add a function word "javascript" in the URL field of an item, e.g.:
var menuItems = [ [text, "javascript:alert('Hello, world!')", icon1, icon2], ];
A:Thanks for your interest in our products.
You can use any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.
Q: I have one more question before I purchase alicense: is there a way to use images instead of text as the menu items?
A:Yes, you can create image-based menu.
If item text is empty, icon fields will be used as item images. For example: ["", "index.html", "itemImageNormal.gif", "itemImageOver.gif", "Home Page"]
Q: I am using the deluxe menu 2 and I've found that on IE7 there is a Page Zoom function, when you use this the text in the drop down menu appears blurred, but the text on the top level remains clear? Have you seen this?
Use IE7 and zoom to 150%. Is there anything I can do to prevent this effect?
