Q: I'd like to purchase your deluxe menu, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to align the javascript sub menu to the top of the primary menu in Firefox. It aligns correctly in IE but in Firefox it is dropping by 20 pixels or so below where I want it.

A: This is space to document borders. We've set this space, so that yourjavascript sub menu will not look like the part of browser window. If you wantyou can delete that space.

Open dmenu.js file in any text editor and find the following code:

Q: I cannot see the arrow.gif's in my rollover drop down menu.

Here is my code:
  var arrowImageMain=["menudir/arrow_main3.gif","menudir/arrow_main3.gif"];
  var arrowWidthSub=0;
  var arrowHeightSub=0;
  var arrowImageSub=["menudir/arrow_sub5.gif","menudir/arrow_sub4.gif"];

Do I need to put the arrow's somewhere else?

A: You should check the following parameter:

  var pathPrefix_img="data-samples/images/";

Please check that you have the correct path to your aroows relative to the folder withindex.html file.

For example, you have:
menudir/
menu.js
dmenu.js
arrow_main3.gif
...
index.html

In menu.js file you should write:
  var pathPrefix_img="menudir/";
  var arrowImageMain=["arrow_main3.gif","arrow_main3.gif"];
  var arrowImageSub=["arrow_sub5.gif","arrow_sub4.gif"];

or

while ($itemData=mysql_fetch_array($allItems))

$jsItems .= '["'.$itemData['text'].'", "'.$itemData['link'].'", "'.$itemData['icon1'].'", "'.$itemData['icon2'].'"],';
