Q: Your service is excellent and I am making progress learning the program. I was able to resolve the transparency issue thanks to your help but, but now I have another one that is stumping me.

I can get the menu to show up in my html document and it works as I hoped it would. However, no matter where I put the line of code in my html file, the down menu in dhtml always shows up at the very top of the page. The instructions indicate the following:

Copy the following code into clipboard and paste it into the place you want to have the down menu in dhtml:

<script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script>

For example, into a table cell:
<table>
<td><script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script></td>
</table>

No matter where I put the code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script>, the menu shows up at the top of the page.
What am I missing?

A: Check that you're using relative position for the down menu in dhtml:

  var absolutePos=0;
  var posX="0px";
  var posY="0px";



Q: I have started with the deluxe - looks a little more confusing, but I will persist.

Just to confirm that this is right for me.

1) Will deluxe load quickly?.
2) Will it work with most browsers? Or will user need to download some sort of java file?
3) Can I use it with dreamweaver?


A: 1) Deluxe Menu generally loads faster than other page elements.
It is possible that the speed of showing the menu can be lower if the menu is very large. But it doesn't take so much time.

2) Deluxe Menu works fine in most of browsers on Windows OS, MAC OS, Linux/Unix OS.
More info you can find here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/browsers-info.html

You don't have to install additional software.
Your customer should change security settings in IE to allow Javascript on pages he loads.

When your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript onpages you load you can't see a dynamic page content.

There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.

3) Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension,BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files. To install the menuinto your html page:

1. open the page in Dreamweaver/Frontpage
2. open html source code of the page
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:
http://deluxe-menu.com/installation-info.html

That's all.
To create and configure your menus use Deluxe Tuner application(included into the trial package):

Q: I was testing your suite and I like it very much, but I do have problems with IE 7 (last updates) on a winXP Pro machine. The javascript menu sample doesn't show up on the site. Do you know something about this or can you tell me what I have made wrong? I tried the normal export and also the export code for search friendly sites.

Please give me a short hint, what I must change.
Looking forward in hearing from you soon

A: Try to set exact width for the menu.

  var menuWidth="400px";



Q: How I make to insert a code java in the event on click of the button "Ok", when this button is simple tree view?

A: You are able to paste any html code within items.

For example:

  var tmenuItems = [
...
["<nobr><FORM method=GET action='http://www.google.com/custom'>
<nput name='as_q' value='searchthe web' size=15 style='font-size:10'> <INPUT type=hidden name=cof
value='LW:144;L:http://domain.edu/images/sulogo.gif;LH:45;AH:center;GL:0;S:http://domain.edu;AWFID:e01cb67b8afe383e;'></form></nobr>","",
"images/icons/search.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],

You should write your own code within tmenuItem.
