Q: All of the menu are different sizes. How can I get them to look the same, as for as sizes?
Is it something that I am doing wrong?
A: Try to specify units in "px".
var itemPadding="5px";
Try that.
Q: If is there any way I can give some space between pressed_item and hover item for the rollover menus
A: You can try to specify spacing parameter:
var itemSpacing=1;
You can also try to use separators.
You should add separator between menu items:
["item","#", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-",],
["item","#", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Use "Add Separator button in Deluxe Tuner.
Set separator parameters in the following way:
//--- Separators
var separatorImage="";
var separatorWidth="100%";
var separatorHeight="2px";
var separatorAlignment="left";
var separatorVImage="data.files/separator.jpg";
var separatorVWidth="2px";
var separatorVHeight="100%";
var separatorPadding="0px";
Q: We recently bought your product.
We are developing in ASP.NET (VB) and we have a problem making you deluxe menu dynamic to suit our needs. We are using the Deluxe Menu.
The problem is each time a page with dhtml nav loads, we want to be able to generate the menuItems variable to reflect the options the individual user has, so it can't be hard coded into data.js it MUST be provided by an aspx file and attached somehow. I can't work out how to attach the variable (even a static one) as a separate file, so if you can do it with a static one, we can extend it to a dynamic one later.
For example the JS in the data.js file we want the MenuItem dimension you be loaded in a seperate file, some kind of include.
var menuItems = [
["Home","index.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["About","about.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Contact","contact.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],

Hope this makes sense.
A: You can move
var menuItems = [
...
];
dm_init();
dhtml nav code from your data file to your page (template) directly:
<script>
var menuItems = [
...
];
dm_init();
</script>
Q: Hi, just a quick question, is it possible to change which tab is displayed when the page is first rendered.
For instance, if you have 4 tabs, going right to left, can you load the css menu tabs with the second tab being displayed first?
A: See, if you use Tab Mode
var tabMode = 1;
var bselectedItem = 0; //main items
var bselectedSmItem = -1; //submenus
If you use
var tabMode = 0;
var bselectedItem = 0;
See, the ID of the item starts with 0.
So, if you use TabMode ( var tabMode=1;):
var bselectedItem = 4;
["-", ] - separator, ID = 0
["Mac Tab 1", "content1"], ID = 1
["Subitem1","testlink.html",] ID = 2
["Subitem2","testlink.html",] ID = 3
["Mac Tab 2", "content2"], ID = 4 // selected tab
["Subitem1","testlink.html",] ID = 5
["Subitem2","testlink.html",] ID = 6
["Mac Tab 3", "content3"], ID = 7
["Subitem1","testlink.html",] ID = 8
["Subitem2","testlink.html",] ID = 9
["Mac Tab 4", "content4"], ID = 10
["Subitem1","testlink.html",] ID = 11
["Subitem2","testlink.html",] ID = 12
If you use tabs ( var tabMode=0;):
var bselectedItem = 2;
["-", ] - separator, ID = 0
["Mac Tab 1", "content1"], ID = 1
["Mac Tab 2", "content2"], ID = 2 // selected tab
["Mac Tab 3", "content3"], ID = 3
["Mac Tab 4", "content4"], ID = 4
