Q: Irene, thank you. I am working on seeing what you did and trying to get it to work on my computer. I keep getting ActiveX blocking errors when open page with the drop down menu source code on my computer. Is this something I can control from within the html code? Or is this something each user is going to have to change setting(s) in their IE Internet Options?
p.s., I had the code on the page twice cuz was just trying to get something... anything.... to work. I deleted the 2nd set which was further down on the page. I'm trying to get the menus to appear in the grey band just below the blue heading section but prior to the white text description section. And, once I get the menus to work, the navigation bar on left will be deleted. Thank you so much for your patience and help!
A: You can get the following message
"To help protect your security in IE ..."
on your local machine only. You won't have such message when you openyour website via Internet.
If you don't want to see this message you should do the followingthings:
Tools/Internet Options/Advanced Options/
and set
"Allow active content from files to run on My Computer".
Close Internet Explorer and open it once again.
There will be no such message any more.

Q: There is "Incorrect Copyright" message on our website in IE7. Please, help!
A: Now on your website you're using Deluxe Menu v1.14.
You see "Incorrect Copyright" message because you're using old version of Deluxe Menu. We've fixed this bug in the new version - v2.0.
How to upgrade to v2.00
---------------------------------------------------------------
You can download the licensed engine .js files from the same link in your license message.
Deluxe Menu v2.00 has new parameters and features.
To upgrade to v2.00 you should do the following.
Step 1.
1.1 For Windows users
a. Run Deluxe Tuner v2.0
(can be found in the trial menu package v2.0
http://deluxe-menu.com/deluxe-menu.zip).
b. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed):
select File/Open…
c. Save the file: select File/Save, then click "No" button when the dialog box appears.
1.2 For other OS users
a. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed) in a text editor.
b. Make sure that the following variables exist in the data file:
var keystrokes = 0;
var dm_focus = 1;
var dm_actKey = 113;
var dynamic = 0;
var smHideOnClick = 1;
var itemAlignTop = 'left';
var smSmartScroll = 1;
var dmAJAX = 0;
var dmAJAXCount = 30;
var dmRTL = 0;
var dmObjectsCheck = 0;
var menuBackRepeat = "repeat";
var menuHeight = "";
var transDuration2 = 200;
If one of the variables doesn't exist - add it at the beginning of the file.
c. Save the file.
Step 2. Now open HTML-page that contains Deluxe Menu.
Step 3. Replace existent <noscript></noscript> tags of the menu by the following code:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
Step 4. Save HTML-page.
Step 5. New engine v2.00 has 7 .js files.
They are:
- dmenu.js
- dmenu4.js
- dmenu_add.js
- dmenu_dyn.js
- dmenu_key.js
- dmenu_cf.js (new v2.00)
- dmenu_popup.js (new v2.00)
Replace all old .js files by the files from v2.00.
Try that.
Q: I am evaluating your fine menu builder application.
Please let me know the following:
a) How could I call a script instead of specifying a link?
["|Product A","http://dhtml-menu.com","","","",,"0",],
b) If the above is possible, please let me know how, in the called script, I could know where the call to the script come from.
A: You can use your own javascript functions in the menu items.
You should paste "javascript:some_function()" into item's link field, for example:
var menuItems = [
["text", "javascript:your_function(...)", ...]
];
