Q: I make an example of html menu, but when i use it with frameset then the menu not show completly.
Is this possible, perhaps by using a javascript call?
A: To initialize the cross frame menu you should call dm_initFrame() function
instead of standard dm_init() function within data.js file:
dm_initFrame(framesetID, mainFrameInd, subFrameInd, orientation);
framesetID - id attribute of the frameset;
mainFrameInd - index of the main frame (where the top-menu is placed), >=0;
subFrameInd - index of the subframe (where the submenus will be shown), >=0;
orientation - frame orientaion: 0 - top-to-bottom, 1 - left-to-right; 2 - bottom-to-top; 3 - right-to-left.

The menu is all messed up!
A: See, now you have:
var itemBackImage=["data.files/btn_green.gif","data.files/btn_whitegreen.gif"];
and you also assign Individual Item Style with itemBackImage anditemWidth parameters for each item
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11px Tahoma","fontColor=#000000,#000000",
"itemBackImage=data.files/btn_whitegreen.gif,data.files/btn_white_white.gif"],
];
var menuItems = [
["projects","", , , , , "0", "0", , ],
["FMWR","", , , , , "0", "0", , ],
["general water info","", , , , , "0", "0", , ],
["bulletin board","", , , , , "0", "0", , ],
["WSS MDG tracking","", , , , , "0", "0", , ],
["reform instruments","", , , , , "0", "0", , ],
You should delete itemBackImage and itemWidth parameters from itemStyles.
Q: I should like that the active item were not stand out changing thebackground color to blue, but underlined, but I don't find as to do it.
A: Try to set the following parameter: var ttoggleMode = 1;
Q: I recently purchased DeluxeMenu for a project I'm working on and a new requirement has been submitted.
I am looking for a way to dynamically affectthe contents of menu javascripts
after it's been rendered(displayed) in the browser.
Can this be accomplished with this component?
A: 1) You can use API functions to affect items dynamically:
http://deluxe-menu.com/functions-info.html
2) Generate your menu items dynamically from database.
Unfortunately we don't have working example with ASP.
You may generate a menu from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.
However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files, so,
you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2008, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
var parameter1=value1;
var parameter2=value2;
etc.
var menuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];
</script>>
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:
