Q: What can I tell people who aren't seeing their drop-down menu? For example, I have a client who can't see his on his machine, while I can on see the menu on one of my machines but not the other.
Please advise what makes the difference and how to correct the problem.
A: When your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript onpages you load you can't see a dynamic page content. So, you cannotsee your javascript menu at all.
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.
You can use search engine friendly code, so you'll see all yourlinks (for the main items and submenus) when your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript.
You can generate search engine friendly code.
Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:
<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>
To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
You can find this GUI in the trial package.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).

=sessionid%>&UserName=<%=Username%>" onclick="RedirectToParentPage=''; return CheckForChanges(1024,'')">

Q: Would dhtml drop menu work to put the javascript command, OnClick=javascript:window.location.href=myvalue in the Link entry so that when a person clicks on the menu item, he navigates to the webpage specified in the OnClick?
A: > Would dhtml drop menu work to put the javascript command,
> OnClick=javascript:window.location.href=myvalue in the Link entry so
Actually you can use your own Javascript code instead standard links and html code inside item text. For example:
var tmenuItems = [
["text", "javascript:window.location.href=myvalue"]
];
or
var tmenuitems = [
["<div onClick='window.location.href=myvalue'>Table of Contents</div>", ""]
];
> Also, what features of IE 4 are not supported?
Deluxe Menu support Internet Explorer 5+ only.
