Q: I want to have one of the drop menus in the horizontal navigation use a different image.
I am using the vista images and would like to have all of them but one use the same image
and the last one a different one. Can this be done?
A: You should create Individual Style for the last item and assign another image for it.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","fontStyle=normal 11px Tahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=data-vista-01.files/btn_black.gif,
data-vista-01.files/btn_black_blue.gif"],
["itemWidth=92px","itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","itemBackImage=data-vista-2-03.files/btn_green.gif,data-vista-2-03.files/btn_green2.gif","fontStyle='normal 11px Tahoma','normal 11px Tahoma'","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF"],
];

Q: We would like to use standard images for the main menue and add popup menues by using deluxe menue. The popups are triggered by hovering the cursor above the main menueimages and they should stay visible as long as the cursor is in the image.
If the cursor leaves the image, the popup should be closed unless it is in the popup menue.
A: See, you can use one Deluxe Menu (image-based) with images for the mainitems and submenus or you can use several pop up menus for each image.

You should use onMouseover event.
Q: I am testing out your menu system as I try to redesign my site. It is a vertical menu with submenus.
I have hundreds of pages in my site and I'd like to be able to attach your menu system to all of them.
However, I will be making changes to the menu system on a regular basis.
I do not want to go change every program in the site each time I need to make a menu change.
I was hoping you could give me some kind of programming code that I could enter into the <body> section of my html files which would automatically read a file into my prograrm, which contained the menu code.
This way when a menu change is needed, I edit one file, all the programs read that file and display the menu.
As an example of the code I would want read into a webpage at start up:
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="files/dmenu.js"></script>
<div id="dmlinks" style="font:bold 9px Verdana;color:#FFFFFF;text-decoration:none">
<a id="dmI0" HREF="500main.htm">Home</a>
<a id="dmI2" HREF="tixbbs.htm" TARGET="text">For Sale</a>
<a id="dmI4" href="testlink.html">Place Ad</a>
<a id="dmI5" href="testlink.html">Sources</a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script>
A: If you change the menu parameters only there is no need to change code on each page. You should only replace your old data file (data-deluxe-menu.js) with the new one.
If you don't want to install your menu on each page, you can try to use frames, the menu has a cross-frame mode.
Please, see more info about cross-frame mode here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/cross-frame-mode-sample.html
Also you can use a server-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages from templates on your server.
Q: I'm testing your menu, however this always display the result of the execution of this code, that was generated by the GUI tool
<!-- Code for Deluxe Menu Items. Generated by Deluxe Tuner -->
<div id="dmlinks" style="font:bold 14px Arial;color:#000000;text-decoration:none">

<!-- End of Code for Deluxe Menu Items -->
I don't know what's happenning I followed the instructions that you describe in your installation process. I'm using the menu in a jsp page.
A: Now on your page you have only search engine friendly code for Deluxe Menu. You do not have menu.
See more info about the installation of the menu here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/installation-info.html
You should paste also such lines, for example:
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
and
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/data.js"></script>
Where data.js is the file with your menu. You can create such file using Deluxe Tuner.
You should upload this files on your server in the correct place.
