Q: The cascading javascript menu does not spans frames or windows like Applets. Is that correct?
I was not able to make the sample to do it.
A: The DHTML Menu and Java Menu are built on different technologies.Java menus can create submenus that cover frames as a standard Windowssubmenus. DHTML Menu can't do that, because it's controls is htmlobjects, they can't overlap Windows controls. So, cascading javascript menu hascross-frame ability that allows it to show submenus in differentframes. But it can support this mode for the same domain only -- ifyou loaded a page to a subframe from another domain, the submenuscan't be shown in it. It happens because all browsers don't allow todo that for security reasons. Just imagine if you'll able to create aframeset from 2 frames, 1st frame will be with a zero height-width,and you'll load your page into it. Then user will go to another domainand your "invisible" frame will change a content of other pages!

A: You should adjust your browser settings.
Tools/Internet Options/Advanced Options/

"Allow active content from CDs to run on My Computer".
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.
Q: Is there a parameter in Tree Menu I can add and/or adjust in data.js toforce the menu text to wrap and add here to a set menu width?
A: You should use
tags, for example:
var tmenuItems = [
["line 1
line 2"],
];
Width of the menu you can set so:
var tmenuWidth = "500px";
Try that.
Try to specify units in "px".
var tmenuWidth = "182px";
It's necessary to specify exact value for Mozilla browsers. It helpsto position menus correctly.
You should set this parameter:
var tmenuHeight = "auto";
