Q: At my site the java script popup menu works fine with the frame on the home page but hides behind a new flash form I created. You can access this in "Marketing Tools" and click on "What's your Project". I noticed that it seems to work fine in IE but not in Firefox.
A: See fix for java script popup menu and flash in Firefox here:

Q: How do I apply styles to submenu items that are different from the styles of top javascript drop down menu items? For instance, I want to know how to apply background images for the submenus, but not for the menu items. I also want borders around the submenu ITEMS, not just the entire submenu. Here is the link to my page with the menus. The menu I am referring to is the top right hand menu (black with grey).
A: Create Individual Item and Submenu styles and assign it to your submenu items.
var itemStyles = [
["itemHeight=23px","itemBackImage=deluxe-menu.files/btn_black.gif,deluxe-menu.files/btn_cyan.gif","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,groove","itemBorderColor=#2C2C2C,#FF0000"],
];
var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=transparent","menuBorderWidth=0","menuBorderStyle=none","itemSpacing=0","itemPadding=0px 0px 0px 10px"],
];
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Product Info","", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],

Assign Individual Items style to all submenu items and Individual Submenu Style for the first item in each submenu.Q: I have an even more vexing issue. For some reason my arrows are showing up on the left side of each java dhtml menu item, it seems the arrows icons are also retaining the right side padding for the java dhtml menu items. Can you give me a hand with this?
A: Now you have the following java dhtml menu parameter:
var dmRTL=1;
You should set it to:
var dmRTL=0;
