Q: When I check my website for accessibility it shows NoAlt on the dhtml drop down menu!.
Where do I add an alt tag in the data file?
A: You should use the fifth parameter in menuItems
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, tip, target, itemStyleInd, submenuStyleInd, jsFilename],
For example:
["Home","index.htm", "", "", "Home", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Dr. Copeland's Bio","bio.htm", "", "", "Dr. Copeland's Bio", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Destiny History","history.htm", "", "", "Destiny History", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Contact Destiny","contact.htm", "", "", "Contact Destiny", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Dr. Copeland's Itinerary","itinerary.htm", "", "", "Dr. Copeland's Itinerary", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: I'm a having an issue with my dhtml dropdown menus poping-up behind a flash object on a page. The key to this issue is that the menus work perfectly in our non-secure (HTTP) development environment, but do not work correctly on our secure (HTTPS) beta environment. The code on the 2 environments is exactly the same, and the beta environment does work when viewed in HTTP. Both the flash object and the Deluxe-Menu are called using relative paths, not absolute paths.
Please let me know what additional information you need from me. I appreciate any help you can provide.
A: Check that you're using latest version of engine files - v3.3.
You should add "opaque" parameter for <object> and <embed> tags.
See, how you should install flash on your pages.
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" height="150"
width="732" name="if-header">
<param name="movie" value="images/flash/if-header.swf">
<param name="quality" value="best">
<param name="play" value="true">
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">

Q: Hi- I'm having a problem with a really wide horizontal code drop down menu. Rather than have it be so wide (due to the large number of items in it) we want it to wrap into a new row underneath the top so a visitor to the site doesn't have to use the scroll bar to scroll to the right to see the whole menu.
A: You can use multicolumn feature of Deluxe Menu, see example

or
Smart Scrolling

Q: I try to fix the height of the submenu "Zone Climatiques" to 400px but I didn't find the way to do this. It worked by setting var smHeight=400px but that setting set all submenus. I would like set only the height of "Zone climatiques" submenu.
Thanks for your help.
A: You should create Individual Style
var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=transparent","menuBorderWidth=0","itemSpacing=1","itemPadding=0px 5px 0px 5px"],
["smHeight=400px"],
];
and assign it to the first item in submenu
["3101 - Ste-Anne-Des-Monts","ProcessClimaticZone/edit.do?id=3101,2003-11-13", , , , , ,"1","stationSubMenu.htm?climaticZoneId=3101,2003-11-13",],
