Q: I use Namo WebEditor 2006 to edit our site.
I used your program to create a drop down menu but when I try to paste the script into my editor I don't get the menu. I have read your instructions and followed them step by step several times but I have had no success. Can you please assist me.
A: Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Namo WebEditor 2006/Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension,
BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files. To install the menuinto your html page:
1. open the page in Namo WebEditor 2006/Dreamweaver/Frontpage
2. open html source code of the page
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:
http://deluxe-menu.com/installation-info.html
That's all.To create and configure your menus use Deluxe Tuner application(included into the trial package):http://deluxe-menu.com/deluxe-tuner-info.html
Q: How do you specify different number of sub menu columns for each menu heading in the dhtml menu bar?
When I put var smColumns = 5; it changed it for both my multicolumn headings.
A: You should use Individual Submenu Styles, for example:
var menuStyles = [
["smColumns=3"],// 0 style
["smColumns=2"],// 1 style
];
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", "", "", ],
["Product Info","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Features","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", ], // 0 style

Q: Hello. I'm trying your javascript expanding menu but cant get a clicked menu to stay highlighted. It works sometimes in Firefox but never in explorer.
With sometimes I mean that if I click a link and that paticular link leeds to nowhere, and i've to click the browsers back button.....then the link I clicked is highlighted when I return. If I make a link that leeds to a new page (with exactly the same code as was generated from delux tuner), then nothing is highlighted. Does this 'higlightstate' work at all?
A: Javascript expanding menu doesn't save a presseditem as it saves a tree state. It works within 1 page only and if youreload the page you should set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function apyt_ext_setPressedItem(menuInd, itemID)
<script type="text/javascript">
var I = 4 //index of the selected item
onload=setPressed;
function setPressed()
{
dtreet_ext_setPressedItem(0,dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex(0, i));
}
</script>
Q: Two questions. First I get a "Error! Skin Load!" popup when my onmouseover popup window loads.
I see references to "skin.js". Is this supposed to be generated?
Secondly.
I am being really dense. I would like to use Deluxe Popup Windows in response to a mouse click on a picture. So far with deluxe Menu, I just put a statement like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="rvmonitor.js"></script>
where I wanted the menu to show up. The web page loads and the Deluxe Menu displays.
I have managed to make the onmouseover popup window appear by using that code, the web page loads and the popup loads (with the skin error).
I know how to get a larger picture from a smaller one like this:
<a href="../images/Tige/CabinetMod/Tige_CabinetMod04.JPG">
<img class="border0" src="../images/Tige/CabinetMod/Tige_CabinetMod04_small.JPG" alt="Gasketmount">></a>
I just don't know how to put the rvmonitor.js into the <a href...></a> function. Could I have a simple example?
A: See, to install Deluxe Popup Window you should call two .js files onyour page:
<head>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-popup-window.files/dpopupwindow.js"></script> //engine file
</head>
<body>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-popup-window.js"></script> //data file
...
</body>
Copy deluxe-popup-window.files folder and deluxe-popup-window.js fileinto the same folder with your html page.
To open your window on mouse click you should do the following things:
<a title="Click to open the window" href="javascript:;"onclick="deluxePopupWindow.open('win', '<img class=\'border0\'src=\'../images/Tige/CabinetMod/Tige_CabinetMod04.JPG\' alt=\'Gasketmount\'>', 'Full Image', 'width=180,height=270,resizable,scrollbars=no,middle,right,fade-effect', 'windowsvista_graphite')"><imgmount\'>class="border0" src="../images/Tige/CabinetMod/Tige_CabinetMod04_small.JPG" alt="Gasket mount"></a>.
