Q: The window open javascript are loading as the page loads, as well as when you click the appropriate object. How can we prevent the pre-loading of pop-ups so that they only load onclick?
A: In that case you shouldn't set openAfter and closeAfter parameters.
So, you'll have:
deluxePopupWindow.attachToEvent(win,',,,,,')
or
deluxePopupWindow.attachToEvent(win,'openAfter=,closeAfter=,,,,')
See the following example:

Q: If you look at our site in IE (PC) the deluxemenu looks great justified left w/ our logo justified right. When you look at it in Safari (Mac) the dhtml menu dropdown is stretched across the entire width of the page and our logo is no longer in view (yuk!).
A: Try to set exact width for the menu in 'px':
var menuWidth="300px";
Q: Is there any way to keep the cursor as default on disabled links? I see that there's a general cursor choice, is there any chance to make it individually?
A: Unfortunately you cannot set cursor type individually for all items.
You can set it only for whole items.
You can try to set a cursor for your <img> tag. for example:
["<img src='deluxe-menu.files/sep_mac.gif' style='cursor: default;'>","", "", "", "", "_", "-1", "0", "", ],
You can also try to set
var itemCursor="default";
for all items and use <a> tags for all links:
["<a href='index.html' target='_blank' class='link'>Home</a>","", "", "", "", "Return to Index page", "", "0", "", ],
And create styles
.link{
color: #FFFFFF;}
.link:hover{
color: #FFBEBE;}
Q: I'm a having an issue with my dhtml dropdown menus poping-up behind a flash object on a page. The key to this issue is that the menus work perfectly in our non-secure (HTTP) development environment, but do not work correctly on our secure (HTTPS) beta environment. The code on the 2 environments is exactly the same, and the beta environment does work when viewed in HTTP. Both the flash object and the Deluxe-Menu are called using relative paths, not absolute paths.
Please let me know what additional information you need from me. I appreciate any help you can provide.
A: Check that you're using latest version of engine files - v3.3.
You should add "opaque" parameter for <object> and <embed> tags.
See, how you should install flash on your pages.
