Q: We are testing you menu in our application. It is being used in cross frame mode. It works very nicely except a couple issues.
The main one is after loading a new page in the sub menus window when I go back to the main menu to select another option but on the initial mouse over it takes several seconds for the menu to come up. Once the delay of loading the initial submenu is over it loads all others very quickly until a new page is loaded again. Is there a way to optimize the menu to reduce this load time? I have already set dm_writeAll=0 but that only increased the speed of the initial display of the main menu.
And the other question is does the dmObjectsCheck option work in cross frame mode? I have it set =1 and the submenus still underneath objects (such as select list) which have a higher z order.
A: Try to do the following:
move all <script> calls into <head>, but delete dm_initFrame()function from data .js file -- move them instead of files calls, i.e.:
<head>
<script src=data.js>
...
</head>
...
<div><script>dm_initFrame("frmSet", 1, 2, 1); </script></div>
It this case data will be loaded when <head> will load, but after thatmenus must be shown quickly.
Let me know about results.

Q: Hi I have been using the trial version with deluxe tuner. The only problem I have had is that I cannot work out how to change the background colour of the menu (how it appears on the page as a menu bar when none of the dropdowns are activated) any help would be appreciated as I am considering purchasing your product but if I cannot change the colour then I am only limited to the sample templates you have supplied
A: Please, see the following parameters:
var menuBackColor="#FCEEB0";
var itemBackColor=["#FCEEB0","#65BDDC"];
Q: I just noticed as well that I cannot change the spacing of the buttons.
Right now the buttons are tight together, how do I create a gap between each dhtmlmenu button?
A: You can paste the separator.
Please, see the following parameters:
//------- Separators -------
var separatorWidth = "10";
var separatorHeight = "20";
var separatorAlignment = "center";
var separatorImage = "C";
var separatorVWidth = "150";
var separatorVHeight = "10%";
var separatorVImage = "image.jpg";
You can create separators using menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],
];
You can also use this parameter:
var itemPadding = "4px";
You can also set multiple values, for example:
"2px 15px 5px 5px";
