Q: Is it possible to use more than one Menu in one Site, for example with
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath1 = "menue/produkt.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menue/produkt.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath2 = "menue/navigation.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menue/navigation.files/dmenu.js"></script>
unfortunately this syntax doesnґt work
A: You can use as many menus as you want on the one page.
But you should call dmWorkPath parameter and dmenu.js file only onceon the one page.
You cannot write dmWorkPath1 and dmWorkPath2. Youir menu won't workcorrectly in that case.
You should write
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2007, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
and call several data files:
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data1.js"></script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data2.js"></script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data3.js"></script>
Q: From your website, I see that you are able to populate a menu through ASP/VB, but I have not been able to figure out how this is done.
How exactly do you use an ASP script to generate the menu items for the dynamic menu?
A: You may generate a menu from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.
However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files, so, you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2006, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
var parameter1=value1;
var parameter2=value2;
etc.
var menuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];
</script>
Unfortunately we don't have examples with ASP and SQL.
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:

Q: We are trying to configure menu windows to a certain width.
But when we configure it menu script a certain number of characters,
the app cutswords. Is there any way to configure it, so that doesn't happens
and puts that word in the lower line?
A: Try to use the following parameter:
var noWrap=0;
You can also use standard
tags within menu item's text.
["Product <br> Info","", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif","deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: I purchased your menu and I am currently using it. I was trying to use the vista template with the images. Yet when I have an js dropdown menu item that is a little long in text the image breaks in to two buttons. Is there a way to fix this or is that just the way it is with these templates?
A: Images in Vista Templates have the fixed width and height (92 x21):
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","itemBorderWidth=0", "fontStyle=normal 11pxTahoma","fontColor=#3A3A3A,#000000", "itemBackImage=data-vista-2-04.files/btn_olive.gif,data-vista-2-04.files/btn_white.gif"],
];
When items text is too long you can have such effect.
You can try to use combined background for your items, for example:
var beforeItemImage = [,]; //left-side image for normal and mouse over state
var itemBackImage = [,]; //background or image for normal and mouse over state
var afterItemImage = [,]; //right-side image for normal and mouse over state
var beforeItemImageW = '';
var afterItemImageW = '';
var beforeItemImageH = '';
var afterItemImageH ='';
But you should create a small images in any Graph Editor, for example:
button_n_back.gif
button_n_left.gif
button_n_right.gif
button_o_back.gif
button_o_left.gif
button_o_right.gif
