http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/ie/ie8/readiness/Install.htm
And it looks like the java script menu code has a lot of issues with it. Are you guys going to be supporting IE8?

All issues will be fixed with final version of IE8.
Q: I place all of my files in folders. If I want the Deluxe menu to work I have to have the Deluxe menu saved in each folder for it to work with the files inside those folders.
A: There is no need to copy al files for the menu in each folder.
To install the menu you can use such paths:
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "../menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Please, try to use these parameters.
