Q: I know. I have two menus on the page and I am not using beforeItemImage orafterItemImage for the top menu in javascript (the one you referenced below), but I need it for the second menu. The parameters for that menu are in mainnav_data.js.

Even when I only call dmWorkPath and dmenu.js once, it does not work.

A: See, it is not correctly to use image-based items:

["","", "mainnav_data.files/corpinfo.gif", "mainnav_data.files/corpinfo2.gif", "", "_self", "0", "", "", "", "", ],

and specify beforeItemImage/afterItemImage parameters. They won't work in that case.

You can create such buttons in the following ways:
1) Use image-based menu (images with text).

Create normal and mouse-over state images (with text) for each item:
["","", "mainnav_data.files/corpinfo.gif", "mainnav_data.files/corpinfo2.gif", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["","", "mainnav_data.files/new.gif", "mainnav_data.files/new2.gif", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["","", "mainnav_data.files/xxxxx.gif", "mainnav_data.files/xxxxx2.gif", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],


2) Use combined background for the menu in javascript items (images without text).

  var beforeItemImage = [,]; //left-side image for normal and mouse over state
  var itemBackImage = [,]; //background or image for normal and mouse over state
  var afterItemImage = [,]; //right-side image for normal and mouse over state
  var beforeItemImageW = '';
  var afterItemImageW = '';
  var beforeItemImageH = '';
  var afterItemImageH ='';

But you should create a small images in any Graph Editor, for example:
button_n_back.gif
button_n_left.gif
button_n_right.gif
button_o_back.gif
button_o_left.gif
button_o_right.gif

You cannot use these two methods together!


Q: I tried your menu.

I have read the notice

Notice
If you load pages with a frameset structure into the subframe, submenus won't be shown.

in page http://deluxe-menu.com/cross-frame-mode-sample.html, but unfortunately this is just our case!

(We have a page with three frames, the second frame is a page with 2 frames. we would want that the menu was opened in the second frame of this page)

There is a way to solve this problem?


A: Deluxe Menu works fine with nested framesets in most cases.

Please, try the trial version.


Q: I have found (was it like this before??) that if I right-mouse-click over a menuitem then I do not see any option to open the URL in new window....

I do not get any options at all to open the URL in new window (or same window), in the browser context menu (both IE and Firefox).


A: No, Deluxe Menu doesn't have such a feature. This is only text, not alink. And we won't change it. Because now you're able to paste anyhtml code within menu item.

  var menuItems = [
["<div>Arbeidsplaner</div>","cp_workplan.php",,,,"_self","0","0"],


You can write your links in the following way:

["Channels","", , , , , , , , ],
["|<a class='menu' href='http://google.com/'>google</a>","", , , , "_self", , , , ],
["|<a class='menu' href='http://google.com'>Market</a>","", , , , "_", , , , ],

And create a style:
A.menu {
color: #000;
text-decoration: none;}
A.menu:hover {
color: #000;
text-decoration: underline;}


Q: When you open the dhtml submenu in Firefox, the flash object in the header (logo) disappear.

Can you help me?
