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:

I want the main menu to display above the Label/Candle tab control.
A: Deluxe Tabs has z-index = 2000
Deluxe Menu has z-index = 1000
You can open dmenu.js file in any text editor and find the following code:
dmZOrder=1000
Change it to
dmZOrder=2050
Q: I regret to inform you that I have not fail understand, how can change place of the icon in software Deluxe Tuner(Menu).
A: You should add icons for the item in the "Item Parameters" window.
Now you have:
var arrowImageMain=["vertikalno menu.files/icon_office_tuner2.gif","vertikalno menu.files/arrv_black.gif"];
var arrowImageSub=["vertikalno menu.files/arrv_black.gif","vertikalno menu.files/arrv_black.gif"];
But you should add "vertikalno menu.files/icon_office_tuner2.gif" iconin the "Item Parameters" window.
So you will have in your menuItems
var menuItems = [
["New Item","testlink.html", "vertikalno menu.files/icon_office_tuner2.gif", "vertikalno menu.files/icon_office_tuner2.gif", , , , , , ],
["|New Item ","", , , , , , , , ],
["|New Item","", , , , , , , , ],
["New Item","", "vertikalno menu.files/icon_office_tuner2.gif", "vertikalno menu.files/icon_office_tuner2.gif", , , , , , ],
["|New Item","", , , , , , , , ],
["|New Item","", , , , , , , , ],
["New Item","http://deluxe-menu.com/order-purchase.html", "vertikalno menu.files/icon_office_tuner2.gif", "vertikalno menu.files/icon_office_tuner2.gif", , "_blank", , , , ],
["|New Item ","", , , , , , , , ],
["|New Item","", , , , , , , , ],
["New Item","testlink.htm", "vertikalno menu.files/icon_office_tuner2.gif", "vertikalno menu.files/icon_office_tuner2.gif", , , , , , ],
["|New Item ","", , , , , , , , ],

Q: How change the color of the link in the dhtml vertical menu if the link is already visited.
A: Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover,
butyou can highlight menu items in two ways:
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<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>
<script type="text/javascript"< var pressedItem=3;</script>
...<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
