Q: I would love to buy your product BUT, I am not sure if it will do what I want - can I call javascript within the dynamic menu?
For example my old page for disaster recovery we have inserted a URL substitution :
The javascript function is called at the top of the nav page:
<script LANGUAGE = "JavaScript" SRC = "../urlSub.js"> </script>
then the link on the nav menu
<a> href="#" ONCLICK = "urlSubstitution('transco/sheet.asp?stype=1')">Table of Contents </a>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOWEVER, Im not sure if this is possible with your product?
A: Yes, it is possible.
Actually you can use your own Javascript code instead standard links and html code inside item text. For example:
var menuItems = [
["text", "javascript:your_code_here"]
];
or
var menuitems = [
["<div onClick='urlSubstitution(\'transco/sheet.asp?stype=1\')'>Table of Contents</div>", ""]
];Q: I can not figure out how to get drop-down menus to show up in the Add-Ins on my Microsoft Front Page.
A: Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Dreamweaver/Microsoft Front Page extension,
BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files. To install the menu
into 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:

Notice also that some web editors won't display correctly javascript menus,
you should preview your website in the browser.
Q: I have now re-uploaded the data files.
The online dhtml menu works fine in Internet Explorer but, comparing the load time of IE with Firefix, Firefox is considerable faster.
I just wondered whether there was a faster way to force it to load in IE.
A: Try to set the following parameter:
var dm_writeAll=0;
Q: I would like to separate each main js dropdown menu item (Find an Expert, Contact...etc) with a dotted line graphic. If you look at the js dropdown menu, you will see that each graphic is separated by a dotted line. I am trying to replicate that look in the Deluxe Menu. Is there a way I can do that? I tried to use the "separatorImage" value in the DeluxeTuner, but it didn't seem to do anything. Is there a way to put a dotted border just along the bottom of them item, instead of around the whole item (like a box)? Or is there a way to insert the graphic between the items?
A: To add a separator you should
//--- Separators
var separatorImage=""; //for subitems (top items in vertical menu)
var separatorWidth="100%";
var separatorHeight="3px";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="separator.gif"; //for the top items (subitems items in vertical menu)
var separatorVWidth="100%";
var separatorVHeight="2px";
var separatorPadding="";
You can create separators using menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],
];
