Q: I am in the process of setting up a new html menu bar, but seem to be having trouble getting it to work via Internet Explorer 8.0.
Instead of making drop-downs, it only makes little symbols. However, it works fine via Firefox.
A: Try to use v3.3. It is compatible with IE8.
Q: I need to have a horizontal menu and a vertical menu on the same page (obviously with different content). I did this as two separate "projects" in the tuner and gave them different names so that the files wouldn't step on each other. However, it looks like only the second menu works, though it does show both. I assume it has something to do with the variable dmWorkPath overriding the first value with the second. How can I have two menus each with different content on the same HTML page?
A: You can use as many menus as you want on the one page.
But you should call dmWorkPath parameter and dmenu.js file only once.
<!-- 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>

Q: I am testing out your menu system as I try to redesign my site. It is a vertical menu with submenus.
I have hundreds of pages in my site and I'd like to be able to attach your menu system to all of them.
However, I will be making changes to the menu system on a regular basis.
I do not want to go change every program in the site each time I need to make a menu change.
I was hoping you could give me some kind of programming code that I could enter into the <body> section of my html files which would automatically read a file into my prograrm, which contained the menu code.
This way when a menu change is needed, I edit one file, all the programs read that file and display the menu.
As an example of the code I would want read into a webpage at start up:
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="files/dmenu.js"></script>
<div id="dmlinks" style="font:bold 9px Verdana;color:#FFFFFF;text-decoration:none">
<a id="dmI0" HREF="500main.htm">Home</a>
<a id="dmI2" HREF="tixbbs.htm" TARGET="text">For Sale</a>
<a id="dmI4" href="testlink.html">Place Ad</a>
<a id="dmI5" href="testlink.html">Sources</a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script>
A: If you change the menu parameters only there is no need to change code on each page. You should only replace your old data file (data-deluxe-menu.js) with the new one.
If you don't want to install your menu on each page, you can try to use frames, the menu has a cross-frame mode.
Please, see more info about cross-frame mode here:

Also you can use a server-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages from templates on your server.
Q: When I create a tab which has no sub-items, there is a white line drawn under the whole top javascript tabbed menu bar.
How do I avoid this?
A: Each menu item should have subitems (in the TabMode).
If you don't want to have subitems for some items you can add onesubitem and delete Item Text.
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
