Q: I've just put together a new drop down menu box for one of the sites I'm working on and whilst in IE it works fine, in FF the drop down menu box is not appearing over the Flash banner.
I don't understand why as this was put together with the latest version of Deluxe Menu - my understanding was that this issue was resolved a while back?
Can you help me sort this.
A: See fix for flash in Firefox here:

Q: Is it possible to open a specific tab in javascript menu samples using javascript? For example something like tabObject.open(tab1);
A: You can try to use the following function:
dtabs_itemClick(menuN, itemN);
where
menuN - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
itemN - index of a tab you want to show, >=0.
Q: We are interested in using your dropdown menu code for our site but we do have a question.
When the dropdown menu code viewed in IE7 everything is fine but when I view it in opera or firefox browsers the menu bar is off the screen. Have I missed something in the script to position this in the center whin the table it belongs in?
<table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
summary="Quaker Meadows Menu">
<tr>
<td>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.js"></script>
</td>
</tr>
</table> is off the screen. Have I missed something in the script to position this in the center whin the table it belongs in?
<table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
A: Try to set exact width for the dropdown menu code in "px". It helps to position themenu correctly in all browsers.
var menuWidth="500px";
Q: I'm having difficulty understanding how to set up css drop down menus. The differences between menuStyles, itemStyles, CSS and CSSText is very unclear, and doesn't seem to be well documented.
Do you have any better documentation or writeup on using this feature?
A: No, unfortunately we don't have additional documentation. You can findall info on our site.
We have several examples of the menus using css.
You should set var cssStyle=1; parameter and then assign your stylesto the items.
var cssSubmenu is a CSS class name for all submenus. You can set, forexample, background color, background image, borders for all submenus.
var cssItem is CSS class names for all items (normal state, mouseoverstate) in the top menu and submenus.
var cssItemText is CSS class names for text of all items (normalstate, mouseover state) in the top menu and submenus.
It's possible to appoint individual CSS styles for separate elements of the menu using individual item styles and individual submenu styles.
