Q: How do I get the sub-menus to open in the 2nd frame of a 3 vertical frameset.
The menu is in the first frame. I want the sub-menus to open in the 2nd frame. I don't see how to set that parameter.
A: You should check your dm_initFrame() function.
dm_initFrame(framesetID, mainFrameInd, subFrameInd, orientation);
framesetID - id attribute of the frameset;
mainFrameInd - index of the main frame (where the top-menu is placed), >=0;
subFrameInd - index of the subframe (where the submenus will be shown), >=0;
orientation - frame orientaion: 0 - horizontal, 1 - vertical.
You should write it, for example
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);

Q: I have menus generated by you deluxe menu package . They look fine on all my computer but look bad on my friends computer.
Can this be fixed?
A: Thanks for your interest in our products.
Try to specify all units in "px", for example:
var menuHeight="22px";
Try to set exact width for menu item
var menuWidth="736px";
Try also not to set
var smWidth="0";
var smHeight="0";
Please, see the attached data file.
You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Please, try to use these parameters.
Q: If is there any way I can give some space between pressed_item and hover item for the rollover menus
A: You can try to specify spacing parameter:
var itemSpacing=1;
You can also try to use separators.
You should add separator between menu items:
["item","#", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-",],
["item","#", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Use "Add Separator button in Deluxe Tuner.
Set separator parameters in the following way:
//--- Separators
var separatorImage="";
var separatorWidth="100%";
var separatorHeight="2px";
var separatorAlignment="left";
var separatorVImage="data.files/separator.jpg";
var separatorVWidth="2px";
var separatorVHeight="100%";
var separatorPadding="0px";
