Q: Two more questions, while waiting for this answer:
1) calendarDatePicker.handlers( ['dtEvent', 'dtEvent', {type : 'datetime', format:'%L %d, %Y, %l:%M %p', locale:'en'}] ); is ignoring the date format.
2) If I have a button that in an onclick I want to popup calendar, how would I do that?
3) I am getting 'incorrect copyright', suggestions?
Thank you, I have people waiting for me to bring this site live - your fast help is appreciated
A: >I am getting 'incorrect copyright', suggestions?
You should write NOSCRIPT tag in the following way:
<noscript><a href="http://calendardatepicker.com">Javascript Calendar Date Picker by calendardatepicker.com</a></noscript>

You should install the calendar in the following way:
<form>
<script>
window.onload = function(){
calendarDatePicker.handlers(['cal', 'txt', {type : 'datetime', IiI:'%L %d, %Y, %l:%M %p', locale:'en'}]);
};
</script>
<input type="button" value="Click to open calendar" id="cal" name="cal" onClick="">
<input type="text" id="txt" value="">
<div id="test-box" style="width:40px;height:40px;position:absolute;left:200px;top:10px;"></div>

I want it to do this though:
["|'Slow Death Hook' Contest<br><br><br>Enter Your Favorite Fish Photos to Win!<br>Gary Parsons ","http://www.domain.com/site/featured_article.cfm?owner=AB18D298-0AC7-254E-B7248E9DCD0F9549 <br><br><img src="images/thumbnail.jpg">",,,,,"0"],
The problem is the "'s around the img src.....it's throwing off your animated drop down menu.
How do I fix that?
A: It is not correct to write menuItems in such way.
You should write:
["|'Slow Death Hook' Contest<br><br><br>Enter Your Favorite Fish Photos to Win!<br> Gary Parsons <br><br><img src='images/thumbnail.jpg'>","http://www.domain.com/site/featured_article.cfm?owner=AB18D298-0AC7-254E-B7248E9DCD0F9549",,,,,"0"],
Try that.
Q: I can not figure out how you put the arrow that shows there's more information in the php drop down menu?
I tried and tried to figure it out where you add this .gif file?
A: You should set the following parameters in your data.js file:
var arrowImageMain=["deluxe-menu.files/arrowmain.gif","deluxe-menu.files/arrowmaino.gif"];
//Normal and mouseover arrow images for top-level items.
var arrowImageSub=["deluxe-menu.files/arrowsub.gif","deluxe-menu.files/arrowsubo.gif"];
// Normal and mouseover arrow images for submenu items.
You can set these parameters in Deluxe Tuner also:
Open 'Icons' section in the main window and set var arrowImageMain and var arrowImageSubparameters.
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);
