Q: Can I install the menu using my buttons? I might be able to do it if the buttons used only one image, but they use two images. One is light and the other dark.
I also have some questions:
1) Will the menu stay in view when the user scrolls down?
2) I'm not even sure I care if the menu stays in view, because I believe that is done using php and is not good for SEO. The file that the search engines see is index.html while the file that visitors see is home.php. I think it would be better for SEO to have a normal .html page. Are you able to do that?
A: See how you should make image-based menus: if item text is empty, icon fields will be used as item images.
For example:
["", "index.html", "menu1a.gif", "menu1b.gif", "Home Page"]
1) You should use floatable feature.
See the following parameter:
var floatable=1;
2) You can generate search engine friendly code using Deluxe Tuner:
"Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code".
Q: Looking at the tab menu code below, am I right in guessing what the first 6 parameters are, and can you tell me what the last 3 are forplease?
var bmenuItems = [
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Title","...link.asp", "iconNormal", "iconMouseOver","iconSelected", "tootip", "?", "?", "?", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
A: var bmenuItems = [
[item_text, object_to_show, normal_icon, mouseover_icon, selected_icon, tooltip, item_style],
[item_text, object_to_show, normal_icon, mouseover_icon, selected_icon, tooltip, item_style],
...
];
so it's a item_style, the last two are reserved and not used.

Q: I contact you because this morning we have bought a single license of your deluxe tree menu for our web site www.roderstore.com All features of tree menu work good when I try it on local computer.
When I send the files on web site there is the problem that we must work on different directory : the script must be saved in a directory and the html page with menu inside is installed in another directory.
We can't save the script inside the directory of html pages because there are a lot of pages that call the tree menu, in different levels of path.
In the header of html page I have write the absolute path of script ( http://www.domain.com/menu/it/deluxe-menu.files/ ) and I have called the source of script with all absolute path.
The problem is that the tree javascript moving menu is visible, the function are OK ( expand and collapse are OK ) but the tree don't have the images !
I presume that the problem is the different directory of script and html page ?
What can we do ?
A: You can try to use absolute path to your images. To do it you shouldset the following javascript moving menu parameter:
var tpathPrefix_img="http://www.domain.com/menu/it/deluxe-menu.files/";
You can also send us a direct link to your website, so we can check it.
Q: I can't figure out how to get menu items to swap images to use like a traditional image rollover. In the Dhtml menu, I can change the style background without needing images, or I can use generic images as a background, but I have situations where I need to use unique images for each state of a button.
These unique image buttons contain text and graphics, and there are different images for different states: normal, mouse over, mouse down.
A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
You should use Individual Item Styles.
Please, see the example of Deluxe Menu here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/data-templates/vista-style-02-template-sample.html
You should use "itemBackImage" parameter.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11px Tahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=btn_greenblack.gif,btn_green.gif"],
];
