Q: Do you have any tutorials on how to use dropdown menu maker?
A: Unfortunately we don't have step by step tutorial yet.
We'll try to create it in the nearest time.
1. Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner.
When you open Deluxe Tuner you can click "File/New"
and add items and subitems using buttons "Add Item" and "Add Subitem" on
the main window.
You should set items and subitems parameters on the "Item Parameters"
window.
See also other parameters for the menu on the main window.
More info about menu parameters you can find on our site
http://deluxe-menu.com/parameters-info.html
http://deluxe-menu.com/menu-items-info.html
You can also use Individual Styles for items and subitems
http://deluxe-menu.com/individual-item-styles-info.html
http://deluxe-menu.com/individual-submenu-styles-info.html
2. You should install the menu on your page.
You can click, for example, File/Export to HTML.
So, you'll have folder with all engine files and images
("deluxe-menu.files/" folder by default), deluxe-menu.html file and
data-deluxe-menu.js file with all menu parameters.
Open deluxe-menu.html file in any text editor and copy several rows of
code into your page (for example index.html page of your website).
Copy and paste several rows into your html page (index.html).
<head>
...
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var WorkPath="deluxe-menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
...
</head>
<body>
...
<table>
<tr><td><script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/data-deluxe-menu.js"></script></td></tr>
//data-deluxe-menu.js - data filecreated inDeluxe Tuner.
</table>
...
</body>
You should also copy "deluxe-menu.files/" folder with all engine files
dmenu.js
dmenu_add.js
dmenu_dyn.js
dmenu_key.js
dmenu_cf.js
dmenu_popup.js
dmenu_ajax.js
dmenu_search.js
and data-deluxe-menu.js file into the same folder with your index.html page.
Try that.
Q: I would like to ask on how can I make the dhtml dropdown menu shadow work in mozilla and in safari?
A: Transitional effects (shadow) are features of Internet Explorer 5.5+ only.

http://deluxe-menu.com/filters-and-effects-sample.htmlQ: I am investigating why a few things have not been working for sometime on our site.
This is the error I get in the console "The requested URL /js/menudir/dtree_ss.js was not found on this server."
I update the files awhile back and removed the dtress_ss.js as I was instructed, why is it that it that the script is still trying to reference this file?
What do I have to do to remove this error from java script tree menu?
When I updated the files a few months back the new files seem to fix a problem we were having with Chrome, but broke the drop down menu in Explorer. I have yet to resolve this. The drop down menu appears to work fine in all other browsers.
The nav menu not working in IE7 (not sure about IE6 or IE8) is a bigger issue than the error in the console, but thought maybe they were related. From our analytics, the strong majority of our customers are using IE7.
A: 1) dtree_ss.js
The current version of Deluxe Tree doesn't have dtree_ss.js at all. You should deletethe following code from your page:
<script language="JavaScript1.2" src="/js/menudir/dtree_ss.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
In the body tag you should write:
<td >
<script src="/js/menudir/data-tree.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</td>
In the HEAD tag you should write:
<!-- Deluxe Tree -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">java script tree menu by Deluxe-Tree.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var tWorkPath="/js/menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/menudir/dtree.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2009, http://deluxe-tree.com -->
2) Error in IE7.
You're using new engine files and old data files for the menus now.
I'm sending you the example.
Use engine files for Deluxe Menu and Deluxe Tree and data files (data.js and data-tree.js)from it.Q: I was wonder if there was a way to have the css tree view already expanded with I open the page the menu is on instead of having to expanded every time.
A: The following parameter expands all menu items by default:
var texpanded=1;
