Q: When I load a page the first tab of the creating tab menu is always highlighted, not the contact tab.
A: I suppose that you've set the following parameter:
var bselectedItem=1;
So, the first tab is always highlighted.
This Tab menu can save pressed item automatically within1 page only.
If you open another page, the menu can't remember presseditem.
You should do that manually using Javascript and menu parameters
( var bselectedItem, var bselectedSmItem) or using any server-sidescript (php, asp, etc.)
You should delete this parameter from your data file and write thefollowing code
on each page before you call your data file, for example:
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem = 3;
</script>
Q: On your compatibility page Firefox is not mentioned under Linux.
Is it compatible under Linux?
A: Yes, Deluxe Menu works fine in Firefox in Linux.
Please try a trial package of Deluxe Menu, http://deluxe-menu.com.
Q: Can your menu, when placed in a master page, be propagated throughout an application's sub-folders
or will the html menu need to be added to each page separately?
A: If you don't want to create your menu on each page you can use a
server-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages from
templates on your server.
However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files, so,
you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<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>
<!-- (c) 2006, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
var parameter1=value1;
var parameter2=value2;
etc.
var menuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:

You can use cross frame menu. It allows you to build full-featured menus on the pages
that use frame-based structure. And it's not necessary to insert any code into all the pages -
just specify the additional parameters of the menu and initialize it.
To install the menu in a cross-frame mode, see more info here:

A: Unfortunately we don't work with dynamic drive script.
But I suppose that you can use it with Deluxe Menu without any problems.
But in that case you should move menuItems and dm_init(); function from your data file tothe html page directly.
For example delete the following code from your data file
var menuItems = [
["Aston Martin Page","javascript:ajaxpage('ajaxfiles/external3.htm', 'rightcolumn');\"", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
dm_init();
and paste it in SCRIPT tags on your html page in the place where you want to have a menu:
...
<div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var menuItems = [
["Aston Martin Page","javascript:ajaxpage('ajaxfiles/external3.htm', 'rightcolumn');\"", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
dm_init();
</script>
</div>
