Q: Can Deluxe menus work with tables?
A: Yes, you can place your menu into the <div> or <table> tag.
For example:
 <table>
    <tr>
       <td><script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script></td>
   </tr>
  </table>
Q: What I try to make is a menu dhtml with items having a border of only 1 px, also between the menu items. However it seems that Deluxe menu draws a 1 px line around every menu item giving an effective border line of 2 px between the area where the items touch each other. I want to have 1 px border also on the areas where the items touch each other.
Any suggestion how to fix this?
A: If you want to have the 1px border between the items only you canuse separators.
Please, see the following parameters:
//--- Separators
var separatorImage=""; //for subitems
var separatorWidth="5";
var separatorHeight="100%";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="images/public/separator.gif"; //for the top items
var separatorVWidth="1";
var separatorVHeight="100%";
var separatorPadding="";
You should set a separator in the menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","index.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
["-"],
["About Us","about.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
];
Q: Could you please advise how to stop cascading html menus going under a swf in Firefox?
A: To overlap your flash file you should add opaque parametersto your flash, for example:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0"
width="566" height="250" title="Intro">
<param name="movie" value="/includes/banner_final3d.swf" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="/includes/banner_final3d.swf" quality="high" wmode="opaque" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="566" height="250"></embed>
</object>

Because I have to reload my page after the tab has been selected the tab chosen is lost. What do you recommend for "remembering" the tab so that when the page reloads the correct tab is highlighted.
A: Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab aslo.
You can set "bselectedItem" and " var bselectedSmItem" parametersbased on your link before you call your data file.
For example, move " var bselectedItem" and " var bselectedSmItem" parametersfrom your data file to your code.
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem= var bselectedSmItem=</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
You should define seltabs and selsmtabs using server side script.
You can also set it on every page before you call data.js file, forexample:
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem=4;
var bselectedSmItem=3;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
