Q: I have built a menu which will sit in a frame on the left hand side of the page.
When sub menus are selected they display in the same frame.
How do I make them appear over the adjoining frame?
A: Please, check you dm_init function. You should write it so:
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 1, 2, 1);
More info about cross-frame mode you can find here (see additional info):

Q: I have a paid version of the menu, and I was trying to add the functionality of dynamically adding net dhtml menu item
When I added the code I get the following JS error,
menu is undefined in dmenu_dyn.js (line 13)
dm_ext_addItemPos(1, 0, ["Netscape", "testlink.htm", "", 4 more...], -1)dmenu_dyn.js (line 13)
dm_ext_addItem(1, 0, ["Netscape", "testlink.htm", "", 4 more...])dmenu_dyn.js (line 13)
function dm_ext_hideAllSubmenus(mInd){_dmsm(mInd);};function dm_ext_changeItem(m...
I copied the example from your site, just to see if I can use it.
What am I doing wrong?
A: See, we have two menus on the sample's page
http://deluxe-menu.com/dynamic-functions-sample.html
That's why we write menuInd = 1
dm_ext_addItemPos(1, ...
dm_ext_addItemPos(1, 0, ["Netscape", "testlink.htm", "", 4 more...], -1)dmenu_dyn.js (line 13)
dm_ext_addItem(1, 0, ["Netscape", "testlink.htm", "", 4 more...])dmenu_dyn.js (line 13)
But if you have only one menu you should write menuInd = 0
dm_ext_addItemPos(0, ...
dm_ext_addItem(0, ...
Q: Are these cool html scripts compatible with .NET?
A: Yes, Deluxe Menu works in .NET.
Deluxe Menu is a Javascript product. It means that it works on aclient side and it doesn't work on a server side as ASP.NET script.
So, you can create the menu using standard html page and them movemenu code within .asp page.
Q: I have implemented a deluxe-menu on my client's website and I had a couple of questions.
1. Can I control how fast the submenus scroll in my javascript menu examples? If you look at the site and hover over Need An Expert? on the menu and then point to Practice Areas, this submenu seems to scroll slower than if you mouse over "Technology" and scroll that submenu. The Technology submenu scrolls a lot faster. Is it because there are many more items in the Technology submenu? I tried to find a setting for "scroll speed" or the like, but I couldn't find it.
2. In internet explorer, when you mouse over Need An Expert?, Technology the first time you go to the page, there is a 3-4 second delay before the submenu opens. There are a lot of submenu items under Technology, but in Firefox, there doesn't seem to be this delay. Do you know why this would happen in IE? Is there a way to fix it? Could the problem be that each submenu item has a background graphic and this is causing the delay?
3. When you get to a page on the site and you rollover the top level menu, there is also a delay before the background image of the menu items shows up. You get a solid blue background color for a second or two (the bgcolor assigned) and then the graphic loads and shows up. Is there any way around this? I have a javascript to preload the image (back.jpg) but that doesn't seem to help.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
A: 1. The scroll speed depends on number of items to be scrolled, more items -> faster scroll.
You can decrease the number of items or enlarge the size of submenu.
2,3. Please try to add the following param:
var dm_writeAll = 1;
It will load all backgrounds on page load, no on mouseover.
