Q: We have a problem with true type fonts. The dropdown menu in html does not showing properly for Turkish letters. We are using true type fonts (bold 10px TR Tahoma).
A: Font.If there will be no TR Tahoma font on the user machinethe font won't be shown correctly.
You can find another font similar to your font and write it through a comma.
You should choose the font among the following fonts:
Arial
Tahoma
Times New Roman
Trebuchet MS
Verdana
These fonts are installed on the most of windows computers.
For example:
var fontStyle=["bold 9px TR Tahoma, Tahoma","bold 9px TR Tahoma, Tahoma"];
Or you can create images with text and use it for the top items.

Later in BODY, used your sample popup javascript data-popup-mode.js file
<script type="text/javascript"
src="menudir/data-popup-mode.js"></script>
<img src="../images/lov.gif" onClick="return dm_popup(1, 2000, event);" style="cursor: pointer;"> When I view the page with simple javascript menu and click on the image, I get an error.

Q: I intend to purchase a copy of Deluxe menu where I will be using tree menu for a project. I have created the tree describing the menu and copied the data.Files folder, data.js file to the area where the HTML page is and pasted the relevant text into html file.
When opening the page, the tree menu in javascript is not displayed. Can you please help me resolve this problem. I have attached the data.files folder (in zipped form), the data.js file and the html page I am using
A: Now you have the following code on your html page:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.files/dtree.js"></script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>
It is not correct you should install the menu in the following way:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script type="text/javascript"> var tWorkPath="data.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.files/dtree.js"></script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.files/data.js"></script>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Q: I noticed your excellent smart scroll menu and have a question about it; I notice that it renders the menu from a javascript array - is it possible to make the menu run on an HTML unordered list? The reason being that it's much better for SEO if the dhtml side menu links are actually in the HTML rather than in a huge javascript variable.
A: No, it is not possible. Deluxe Menu is javascript menu.
You can generate search engine friendly code and install it on yourpage.

<a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>
To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
