Q: Can your menu, when placed in a master page, be propagated throughout an application's sub-folders
or will the html menu need to be added to each page separately?
A: If you don't want to create your menu on each page you can use a
server-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages from
templates on your server.
However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files, so,
you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2006, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
var parameter1=value1;
var parameter2=value2;
etc.
var menuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:

You can use cross frame menu. It allows you to build full-featured menus on the pages
that use frame-based structure. And it's not necessary to insert any code into all the pages -
just specify the additional parameters of the menu and initialize it.
To install the menu in a cross-frame mode, see more info here:

A: To create your cool dhtml menu on MAC you can use HTML version of Deluxe Tuner (for MAC OS). You can find it here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/deluxe-tuner-info.html
Unfortunately we don't have html version of the Tuner for Deluxe Treeand Deluxe Tabs now. We'll try to create it in the nearest future.
Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage/GoLIveBuilder extension,BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files. To install the menuinto your html page:
1. open the page in your program
2. open html source code of the page
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see: http://deluxe-menu.com/installation-info.html
That's all.
To create and configure your cool dhtml menu use Deluxe Tuner application
(included into the trial package): http://deluxe-menu.com/deluxe-tuner-info.html
Q: ["item text", "javascript:your_code_here", ...]
This won't work the java script executes when the link is clicked it is not the link itself.
Below is what I normally use and how would I incorporate that?
<a onclick="NewWindow(this.href,'name','490','400','yes');return false;" href="web/equipment/hydraulic_truck.htm">
A: I'm not sure I understand you.
You can use
NewWindow(this.href,'name','490','400','yes');
code in an item link:
["text", "javascript:NewWindow(url,'name','490','400','yes');"]
But if you don't want that, you can just insert <a> into an item text.
Q: Still having trouble with placing the javascript window menu on a fixed position on firefox. So far its only at my testpage. The "Trial Version"-Button however stays at the correct place while the javascript window menu itself moves down if you scroll down... I hope that is fixed in the full version??
A: Now you're using floating feature for the javascript window menu:
//--- Floatable Menu
var floatable=1;
var floatIterations=3;
var floatableX=1;
var floatableY=1;
var floatableDX=15;
var floatableDY=15;
If you don't want to use it you should set:
var floatable=0;
