Q: Shall I have to call the main egine file of the javascript menu maker - dmenu.js twice if I want to install two menus on the page.
The second script:
<script type="text/javascript" src="datatopnav.files/dmenu.js"></script>
Is for the top navigation menu, the datahscounseling is for the side menu. If I delete that line won't my top navigation be gone?
A: No, when you have several menus on the same page you should calldmenu.js file only once and then call several data files.
You should install the menus in the following way:
<head>
...
<noscript><a href=http://deluxe-menu.com/>Javascript Menu Maker by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "datahscounseling.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="datahscounseling.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="datatopnav.files/dmenu.js"></script>

</head>
<body>
...
<TD height=25 colSpan=3 class=style1>
<script type="text/javascript" src="datatopnav.js"></script></TD>
...
<td width="180" height="307" rowspan="2" valign="top" bgcolor="ffffff"><div align="left">
<script type="text/javascript" src="datahscounseling.js"></script></DIV>
...
</body>
Both menu will work correctly in that case.
See the example I've sent you. It works fine.

A: Set the following parameter in your data.js file:
var itemCursor="pointer";Q: My site requires me to regularly update the menu by inserting a new menu item at the top of the list. Creating a sub-item automatically places it at the bottom and I haven't yet found a way to move java animated menu items to the top apart from manually editing the data.js file.
A: You should use new engine files v3.2.5 and add items using thefollowing function:
function dm_ext_addItemPos (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams, Pos)
Adds the new item to a submenu.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0. See more info about indexes here.
iParams = [array] - the array of item parameters. This parameter has the same structure as an item in menuItems array. You can assign parameters of another existent item of the menu (for example, when you want to create a duplicate of the existent item) or create new ones.
Structure of iParams:
[item_text, link, icon_normal, icon_over, tip, target, individual_style_index, jsFilename]
Pos - the position in the menu where you want to add new item.

Q: Is there a way to programmatically specify which tab is selected in the html tabs navigation?
A: You can set "bselectedItem" and " var bselectedSmItem" parameters based on your link before you call your data file.
For example, move " var bselectedItem" and " var bselectedSmItem" parameters from your data file to your code.
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem= var bselectedSmItem= </script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
You should define seltabs and selsmtabs using server side script.
You can also set it on every page before you call data.js file, for example:
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem=4;
var bselectedSmItem=3;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
