Q: Looking at the tab menu code below, am I right in guessing what the first 6 parameters are, and can you tell me what the last 3 are forplease?
var bmenuItems = [
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Title","...link.asp", "iconNormal", "iconMouseOver","iconSelected", "tootip", "?", "?", "?", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
A: var bmenuItems = [
[item_text, object_to_show, normal_icon, mouseover_icon, selected_icon, tooltip, item_style],
[item_text, object_to_show, normal_icon, mouseover_icon, selected_icon, tooltip, item_style],
...
];
so it's a item_style, the last two are reserved and not used.

Q: I need to be able to highlight the selected menu en dhtml item of the Deluxe Menu.
A: Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your menu en dhtml data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
Q: I see most of the sub-menus of the navigation bar (if there is space on the left side),
they are opening on the left side instead of right side..Could you please let me know how to fix it.
A: You should change the following parameter:

to
var subMenuAlign="left";
Q: I downloaded the trial version of deluxe-menu.
I created a four tab menu using the tab'stab menu generator; so far so good.
I read the tutorial where to past codeand ensuring all items wire in the menudir/; so far so good. The problem, you talk about two> files 'dmenu.js' & 'data.js', these files were not created bydeluxe-menu program.
Where are they, so that I can see if this thing works before buying, so far; not so good.
A: You may have another name for your data file (not data.js).
If you want to use tab menu you'll have dtabs.js engine file and data file.
1. create and save .js file with your menu parameters in Deluxe Tuner(you can use "File/Save as/HTML" function).
You can enter any name you like, for example enter "tab". So you'llhave tab.html, tab.js files and "tab.files" folder with all menu files.
2. open your .html page in any text editor
3. Copy generated tab.js file and "tab.files/" folder in the same folderwith your index.html page.
4. Open generated menu.html in any text editor and copy several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:http://deluxe-tabs.com/product-info/?installation
