Q: Compliments on your product, I particularly enjoy the complete set of gui and java, that allows for the quick changes.
After a couple of months of using the trial, I have now purchased it and installed the license.
My question however regards the performance of the menu. Using firebug I note that my deluxe menu .js are the performance bottlenecks, It appears as if they are not being cached and it appears that collecting them is taking longer then the other .js files. What can I do to optimize the load time of the javascript multi level menu and prevent, reloading it from the server with every page reload. The apache has set the expiry correct I believe, as I understand from the header.
A: You can try to use AJAX technology.
AJAX-like technology: data for submenus can be loaded "on-the-fly" from the server.
New parameter:
var tajax = 0/1; - disables/enables AJAX-like support
Current syntax for item parameters ( var tmenuItems):
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, iconExpanded, tip, target, itemStyleInd, itemXPStyleInd, jsFileName]
Where jsFileName - .js filename on the server with submenu items ( var tmenuItems).
Q: I have included your menu in my latest site.

A: You should set the following parameter to disable the floating feature:
var floatable=0;
