Or, the background for the main menu one color, and the sub-menu/s a different color..

A: To set transparent background for the menu you should set:

  var menuBackColor="transparent";
  var itemBackColor=["transparent","transparent"];

and use Individual Item Styles for your submenus:

  var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#8EE8E1,#26BBB0"], //style0
["itemBackColor=#F4B7FB,#E65AF5"], //style1
];

Q: Could I use the javascript menu system tab with ASP pages.

A: Deluxe Tabs is a javascript menu system. It works on aclient side and doesn't depend on server-side implementation.
So there is no limitation for server-side scripting.



Q: Why do I get the "Incorrect Copyright" message in Internet Explorer 7. I am using Deluxe Menu version 1.14. Shouldn't this support IE5+, including IE7?

This is what I found in you FAQ about this matter:
http://deluxe-menu.com/rq-css-pull-down-menu-copyright-support.html

Do I really need to buy an upgrade for each new browser release when I don't need any of the new features in Deluxe Menu???


A: Thanks for your interest in our products.

Deluxe Menu v1.14 works with "Incorrect Copyright" message in IE7. Youshould upgrade to Deluxe Menu v2.0.
The upgrade is free for existing customers.
You can download licensed package from the same link in your licensemessage.


Q: I've now begun to offer my clients multiple levels offunctionality. Is there any way to add another level of complexity to the php drop down menu? Would AJAX Menus be the best approach for doing this?

A: You can do it in three ways now.

1) You can use API functions to generate items dynamically:

function dm_ext_createSubmenu (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
function dm_ext_addItem (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams)

See more info:
http://deluxe-menu.com/functions-info.html

2) Use AJAX feature and create different .js files depend on company and user level.

3) Generate your menu items dynamically from database.
Unfortunately we don't have working example with ASP.

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) 2008, 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.)
];


The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:
