Q: How about getting the entire side navigation bar to sit in the centre rather than left align?
A: You can set your menu in the <div> tag and use the alignment you need:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2009, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
<div align="center">
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
</div>
Q: I am in the final stages of testing and need some advice and help.
I have two problems I am trying to address.
1) Arrows on dropdown menu select.
2) Load time.
Please notice, I have to use absolute paths for the dropdown menu select to work.
1) I can't get the arrows to show, so I tried to add the code for images in the first bold sentence below.
2) I tried to add the second line for absolute paths for links to increase load time in the second bold sentence. It appears that the load time is increased by about 3 seconds and that the menu is the last to load, even though I have tried to have this as the first html to load.
Neither one of my commands appear to work.
This site has over 10,000,000 items on it, and I can't wait to get this up and running. Your program is the perfect solution for anybody with a website.
A: 1) Now you have:
var arrowImageMain=["mainmenu.files/arrv_blue_2.gif","mainmenu.files/arrv_white_2.gif"];
var arrowImageSub=["mainmenu.files/arr_blue_2.gif","mainmenu.files/arr_white_2.gif"];
You should set your arrows in the following way:
var arrowImageMain=["arrv_blue_2.gif","arrv_white_2.gif"];
var arrowImageSub=["arr_blue_2.gif","arr_white_2.gif"];
2) Your menu is very large. I advise you to us AJAX like technology.

You can also try the following things:
move all <script> calls into <head>, but delete dm_init() function from mainmenu.js file -- move them instead offiles calls, i.e.:
<head>
<script src=mainmenu.js>
...
</head>
...
<div><script>dm_init();</script></div>
It this case data will be loaded when <head> will load, but after thatdropdown menu select must be shown quickly.
Let me know about results.

Please advise.
A: Try to use the following parameters:
var menuBackColor="#C0C0C0";
var itemBackColor=["#C0C0C0","#65BDDC"];

Q: I dowloaded the free trial of this product and I am trying to figure out how to put dhtml pulldown menu into a website that I have built with Homestead.com's Site Builder. I just CANNOT figure out what all I need to do to get it to work.
I am willing to pay for someone to install it or pay for the product but I need to make sure it will work on this site!
A: Unfortunately we don't work with HOMESTEAD.com page builder.
1. upload the folder with all menu files in the same folder with your html page.
2. open the page in your program
3. open html source code of the page
4. add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see: http://deluxe-menu.com/installation-info.html
