Q: I recently purchased your Deluxe-Tabs product and I am trying to create tabs that occupy 100% width with each tab being equal width.
Right now when I specify 100% menu width all of the tabs are difference sizes (widths).
How do I control the individual tab width?
A: You should use Individual Item styles to achieve this effect.
See the attached example.
You should set:
var bmenuWidth="100%";
I have 5 items in my example, so I've created Individual Style
var bstyles = [
["bitemWidth=20%"],
];
And assign it for all items:
["Item 1 aaaaa ssssss","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 2 ffff jjjjjjjjjj","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 3 text text","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 4 text text","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 5 text text","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
But notice that items width cannot be smaller than the width of its'text. So it is possible that you'll have different size of some itemsif your window have a small size.
Q: I don't understand why this isn't working right. I haven't messed with the files in a long time now but someone wrote me an email saying I’ve had incorrect copyright on the javascript dropdown menu for a long time.
A: "Incorrect Copyright" means that the script can't find required copyright parameters.
To avoid this, please, change:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="dmenu.js"></script>
to:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="dmenu.js"></script>

Q: I am trying to install a search engine on my site and am having trouble due to my use of your tree-menu system, which I love by the way. I really need to find a compatible script that will search your javascript menu system, or at the very least search another file with mirrored links. I DO NOT want to add the links to each page, this is why I love your menu's, there is one central location to change navigation statewide.
Do you know if there is a search script that can do this( js, php) or is there a way to make your javascript tree menus accessible to the search engine?
A: You can generate search engine friendly code.
Deluxe Tree is a search engine friendly menu since v2.4.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:
<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>
To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
You can find this GUI in the trial package.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
Q: We haven't managed to find out how to activate a popup window through click in a flash? Is there possible to call a single jsfunction to activate it?
