Q: The nav is currently to the left of a flash animated area.
And when a link in the dropdown menu is hovered upon the box opens
but the flash turns white below the nav box.
A: You should add "opaque" parameter for <object> and <embed> tags.
See, how you should install flash on your pages.

Submenus will overlap flash correctly in that case.
Q: I am having an issue using Deluxe Menu with Netscape 7 and cross-frame support across domains. Everything works fine in IE however when I mouse over the top menus they do not adjust the size of the frame when looking at a page from another domain with Netscape. I have checked, and the submenus do appear when I increase the size of the top frame. How do I get the menu to function the same in Netscape or have it function like it does when it’s all in the same domain?
A: The menu will work correctly in the cross-frame mode if you load pages into the sub frame from the same domain.
If you load pages from another domain submenus won't be shown in the subframe - they will be shown in the frame with the top-menu.
It's caused by a security policy of browsers - a script can't modify a content of pages from another domain.
More info about cross-frame mode you can find here:

Q: I'm trying to figure out how I can tie in this code loan_profile.asp?id= into the link on the tree menu, for example:
["|Loan Profile", "../pipeline/loan_profile.asp?id=<%=rsLoans("loan_id")%>", "", "", "", "", "", "2"],
When I try this and then test it in the browser the menu doesn't even show up and it says that there's an error... what can I do to fix this? Please get back ASAP. Thanks!
A: Try to write your code in the following way:
["|Loan Profile","../pipeline/loan_profile.asp?id=<%=rsLoans('loan_id')%>", "", "","", "", "", "2"],
Q: Is there a way to capture which menu item was clicked in the popup menu and store that information into a database?
A: See how you can find the ID of the clicked item:
var menuItems = [
["Home","javascript:alert(itVar.id)", "", "", "", "_self", "3"],
];
