Q: My menus work fine on IE7 and earlier and other browsers. However I tested the java hover menu with Internet Explorer 8 beta and errors are sometimes thrown.
I tried viewing your site with IE8 – which didn't work with IE8 a few weeks ago but I notice everything works now.
Do you know what might causing the problems?

Q: How do I get the content to refresh when I click on a tabs javascript?
On the following URL how did you get the body content into eachtab?
A: See, for each item you should assign the ID property of the content DIV.
["Style Name","contentName", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Style Description","contentDescription", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Style Variations","contentVariations", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],

And on your html page you should create DIV's with such ID.
<div id="contentName" style="height: 0%; visibility: hidden;" class="tabPage">
<br><br><br>
<p align=center><img src="img/style01_title.gif" width=140 height=90 alt="Glass Style Tabs"></p>

You may also generate a menus from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.
Q: Compliments on your product, I particularly enjoy the complete set of gui and java, that allows for the quick changes.
After a couple of months of using the trial, I have now purchased it and installed the license.
My question however regards the performance of the menu. Using firebug I note that my deluxe menu .js are the performance bottlenecks, It appears as if they are not being cached and it appears that collecting them is taking longer then the other .js files. What can I do to optimize the load time of the javascript multi level menu and prevent, reloading it from the server with every page reload. The apache has set the expiry correct I believe, as I understand from the header.
A: You can try to use AJAX technology.
AJAX-like technology: data for submenus can be loaded "on-the-fly" from the server.
New parameter:
var tajax = 0/1; - disables/enables AJAX-like support
Current syntax for item parameters ( var tmenuItems):
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, iconExpanded, tip, target, itemStyleInd, itemXPStyleInd, jsFileName]
Where jsFileName - .js filename on the server with submenu items ( var tmenuItems).
