Q: In IE 6.0 and Firefox 1.5.0.4, the dropdown submenus are not visible and it does not float in firefox (floats in IE but no submenus) whereas in Opera 8.53 and Opera 9 it works fully.
A: Now you have two entries of dmenu.js file on your site in the <head> and <body> tags.
You must have only one entry of dmenu.js file.
You should write so:
...
<body>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "http://www.gaurangapada.org/data.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.gaurangapada.org/data.files/dmenu.js"></script>
</body>
Please, delete the same code from the tag.
Now you have:
var transparency="0";
That is why you can't see your subitems.
Please, write, for example, so:
var transparency="80";
Q: I need to know how to have the background in the main items of the dynamic menu transparent, and then the sub-menus a different translucent color.
A: To set transparent background for the menu you should set:
var menuBackColor="transparent";
var itemBackColor=["transparent","transparent"];
and use Individual Item Styles for your submenus:
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#8EE8E1,#26BBB0"], //style0
["itemBackColor=#F4B7FB,#E65AF5"], //style1
];
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],

Q: I would like all my submenus of the html menu to appear in the same location on the page and not relative to the parent menu item.
A: You can do it using the following parameters:
var subMenuAlign = "left"; - Horizontal alignment for submenus.
"pleft", "pcenter", "pright" - alignment relative to the parent submenu.
var subMenuVAlign = "top"; - Submenus vertical alignment.
"ptop", "pcenter", "pbottom" - alignment relative to the parent submenu.
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"],
];
