Q: Why is the submenu a different colour has a different colour than menu items - surely that's not an IE specific feature? The top-level menu items seem to be a different size too, so the layout in IE looks more even.
A: Submenus has a different color because they have a transparency:
var transparency="90";
Set it to 100.
Submenus also have larger width than top items because they containsmore text. If you want to wrap the text, use
tag between item words.
Q: I make an example of html menu, but when i use it with frameset then the menu not show completly.
Is this possible, perhaps by using a javascript call?
A: To initialize the cross frame menu you should call dm_initFrame() function
instead of standard dm_init() function within data.js file:
dm_initFrame(framesetID, mainFrameInd, subFrameInd, orientation);
framesetID - id attribute of the frameset;
mainFrameInd - index of the main frame (where the top-menu is placed), >=0;
subFrameInd - index of the subframe (where the submenus will be shown), >=0;
orientation - frame orientaion: 0 - top-to-bottom, 1 - left-to-right; 2 - bottom-to-top; 3 - right-to-left.

A: Unfortunately there is no such a function now.
There are such variables.
dtabs_tabs[menuN].b1 - dtabs_tabs[menuN].selectedItem
dtabs_tabs[menuN].JT0 - dtabs_tabs[menuN].selectedSmItem
But they contain the index of the selected menu item, not the ID.
Q: Thank you for your prompt replay- the menu now works! However, the multi level dhtml menu takes forever to load up as demonstrated on our website. I was wondering whether there was any possible way of getting it to load up faster.
A: I have noticed no delays in the menu loading.
But your menu is big enough. You can try to us AJAX technology.
