Q: I'm having a major problem centering html menu navigation in a table.
No matter what I try, the menu stays on the left ofthe table.
Do you have any suggestions?
A: To center the menu on your html page you should set the following
parameter and install the menu in the following way:
var absolutePos=0;
<div align=center>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu/dmenu.js"></script>
</div>
<table width=800>
<tr>
<td align=center width=600><script type="text/javascript" src="data/data.js"></script></td>
</tr>
</table>

I want to customize my menu with change the font, but this font is not on the system with default.
How link my menu with a new font?
A: If you want to use unusual font for your menu you should create imagesfor each item with text and use it in your menu.
Actually you can choose any font installed on your computer in the dhtml menu creator, but this font won't work on your website.

Q: We are registered users of the Deluxe Menu software. Today I tried to use the Javascript API, but there is something I do not understand and want to ask for support.
First, I set up a very simple menu:
var menuItems=[
['Menu 1'],
['|Submenu 1'],
['Menu 2'],
['|Submenu 2'],
];
This menu is built via dm_init().
Then, I inspect the menu (in Firebug):
>>> dm_ext_getSubmenuParams(0, 0)
["dm0m0", 2, "", 0, 1]
>>> dm_ext_getSubmenuParams(0, 1)
["dm0m1", 1, "dm0m0i0", 1, 0]
>>> dm_ext_getSubmenuParams(0, 2)
["dm0m2", 1, "dm0m0i1", 1, 0]
Ok, there are three submenus. Now I am going to delete one of them:
>>> dm_ext_deleteItem(0, 0, 1)
"Menu 2" disappears on the screen, this works as expected. But now when I re-inspect the menu using the API, I find that the API reports exactly the same as before:
>>> dm_ext_getSubmenuParams(0, 0)
["dm0m0", 2, "", 0, 1]
>>> dm_ext_getSubmenuParams(0, 1)
["dm0m1", 1, "dm0m0i0", 1, 0]
>>> dm_ext_getSubmenuParams(0, 2)
["dm0m2", 1, "dm0m0i1", 1, 0]
So, it seems the report function continues to know about the original menu structure and reflects it. Am I using the API in a wrong way?
The problem I want to solve is to remove the entire menu dinamico dhtml, in order to rebuild it dynamically. Because I did not see a function aimed to this functionality, my plan was to delete all main menu entries subsequently until the main menu inspector no longer reports an entry. Is there (a better) way to achieve this?
A: Unfortunately, dm_ext_deleteItem() only change visibility of theseitems.
It doesn't delete them completely.
We'll try to fix it in the next versions of Deluxe Menu.
