//--- Separators
  var separatorImage=""; //for subitems (top items in vertical menu)
  var separatorWidth="100%";
  var separatorHeight="3px";
  var separatorAlignment="right";

Q: How do I get started with Deluxe Menu? Do you have a link with instructions?

I designed my own website with DreamWeaver 8.0 ( www.lesvants.com ) but don't have a clue as to how to start designing with your product.


A: Unfortunately we don't have step by step tutorial now. We'll try tocreate it in the nearest time.

Deluxe Menus weren'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 your program
2. open html source code of the page
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:
http://deluxe-tree.com/installation-info.html

That's all.

It is possible that Dreamweaver changes some paths, so you havean error in the preview.
On your site or in your browser there'll be no errors.

Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner application
.You can create any menu as you like in Deluxe Tuner.

Please, try to download trial package once again. We added alltemplates in Deluxe Tuner Templates window.
