Q: Is there a way to change the height of the main buttons in Dhtml Menu. When I use the GUI tool there is nowhere to change the main button height. And when I tried to change it in the script file, it did me no good. I want all of the main buttons to be the same size.
A: You can use standard <img> object to set menu height, for example:
var menuItems = [
[" <img src='blank.gif' width=1 height=50>text"],
];
Q: Thank you for the information and especially for your good explaination of the ways DHTML and Java work with menus. I want to get a menu because I was asked to base a new web site on one that used 'showpage.asp' calls to createtheir menus. Can you throw some light on how I would go about doing that?
A: Deluxe Menu and Java Menus work on aclient side only and they don't depend on the server which you'reusing and they don't work on a server side as ASP.NET script.So, you can create the menu using standard html page and them movemenu code within .asp page.
Please, try the trial version of the menu. You can use GUI to createyour menu. You can find it in the trial package.
Q: My website is created on Front Page.
Is it easy to incorporate your menu into a website created on Front Page?
A: Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension,BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files. To install the menuinto your html page:
1. open the page in Dreamweaver/Frontpage
2. open html source code of the page
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:

That's all.
To create and configure your menus use Deluxe Tuner application(included into the trial package):

Q: Can I use my own images as the tabs in a dreamweaver navigation bar?
A: The Drop down menu items have the following structure:
var menuItems = [
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, tip, target, itemStyleInd, submenuStyleInd, jsFilename],
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, tip, target, itemStyleInd, submenuStyleInd, jsFilename],
...
];
Where iconNormal, iconOver - Icons of an item: icon in normal state, icon in mouseover state.
So you can set your menu items in a such way:
var menuItems = [
["","testlink.htm", "icon1.gif", "icon1o.gif"],
["","", "icon2.gif", "icon2o.gif"],
["|","testlink.htm", "icon3.gif", "icon3o.gif"],
["|","testlink.htm", "icon4.gif", "icon4o.gif"],
["|","testlink.htm", "icon5.gif", "icon5o.gif"],
["","testlink.htm", "icon1.gif", "icon1o.gif"],
];
