Q: Do I need to replace the menudir/ in the code with the name of the folder I have placed the .js files?


A: Yes, you should change the name of the folder.

If you have, for example such file structure:

deluxe-menu_files/
    dmenu.js
    data.js
images/
html_pages/
    page1.html
    page2.html

index.html

So, you should install your menu in the following way:
<head>
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "deluxe-menu_files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu_files/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2006, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
</head>

<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu_files/data.js"></script>
</body>
</span>

Q: I am using cross frame menu dropdown. I have three frames: Top, Left and main (middle).

I am using the script and data from your sample file; it works fine. Only problem is submenu is offset to the right. It does not show up exactly down below the top menu.

What could be the problem?

A: Deluxe Menu doesn't work correctly (incorrect submenu position) if youhave complex frame structure.

The problem is in a structure of your frameset.
Mozilla browsers can't determine absolute coordinates for a frame, so submenus drop down with an offset.

You should create, for example, the following frameset structure:

--|------------
   | menu
--|------------
   |
   | submenus
   |

Now a top row has 2 columns and all browsers can determine a width of the 1st column in the second row.

You should write init function in the following way in that case:
dm_initFrame("mainframe",1,3,0);



Q: There seems to be a "glitch" when I use Firefox.
I have rebuilt the page twice but I always end up with themenu floating to the left, instead of under the main menu (the second or third mouseover will correct the issue). Also, sometimes I have to mouseover twice before the submenu comes up (in I.E.).

I have validated...however I wondered if there could be a conflict in the javascripting (yours and mine). Any suggestions?


A: The reason is in your <!DOCTYPE>.

Try to specify units in "px".
  var menuWidth="780px";
  var menuHeight="27px";
  var smWidth="200px";
  var smHeight="200px";
It's necessary to specify exact value for Mozilla browsers. It helpsto position menus correctly.

You can also try to set the following parameter:
  var dm_writeAll=1;


Q: I want to be able to right-click somewhere on the page and have the menu javascript pop up where the mouse is and have at least one level of submenus available.

A: See how to create javascript pop up menu using Deluxe Menu here:
