Q: Can Deluxe menus work with tables?
A: Yes, you can place your menu into the <div> or <table> tag.
For example:
 <table>
    <tr>
       <td><script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script></td>
   </tr>
  </table>
Q: Your service is excellent and I am making progress learning the program. I was able to resolve the transparency issue thanks to your help but, but now I have another one that is stumping me.
I can get the dhtml javascript menu script to show up in my html document and it works as I hoped it would. However, no matter where I put the line of code in my html file, the dhtml javascript menu script always shows up at the very top of the page. The instructions indicate the following:
Copy the following code into clipboard and paste it into the place you want to have the dhtml javascript menu script:
<script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script>
For example, into a table cell:
<table>
<td><script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script></td>
</table>
No matter where I put the code: <script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script>, the menu shows up at the top of the page.
What am I missing?
A: Check that you're using relative position for the dhtml javascript menu script:
var absolutePos=0; var posX="0px"; var posY="0px";
Q: I'm having a problem with the new v3.9.2 javascript menu source. The drop-down submenus are now going "up" instead of "down".
I've tried the conversion steps in your email and I have even rebuilt the menu from scratch in v3.9.2. In the Deluxe Menu Preview window, the drop-down sub-menus behave properly - transitioning down below the horizontal menu. But it FireFox3, IE7 and Chrome the submenus appear above the horizontal menu.
Also... the transition effect (24 - Alpha Blend) only appears in IE7 - it is not evident in FireFox3 or in Chrome.
A: Set the following parameter:
var subMenuVAlign="top";

Transitional effects are features of Internet Explorer 5.5+ only.

My menus are 540px wide and contain lots of text with good sized pictures (icons). Can I use an iframe tag inside of the css menu submenu instead of simple text with this icon?
A: You are able to paste any html code within items.
So you can paste a form too.
For example:
var menuItems = [
...
