Q: We are showing the "incorrect copyright" on our menu for some reason and I need you to look at the code. It's been this way for about a month. My company is going to make me stop using your menu if I can't get the issue corrected so please help me determine why we are suddenly having this problem.
The notice shows up on IE 6, but not IE 7.
A: "Incorrect Copyright" means that the script can't find required copyright parameters.
To avoid this, please, change:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="dmenu.js"></script>
to:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="dmenu.js"></script>

Q: I downloaded the trial version and gave it a run.
I cannot get thebackground color of the menu to change – it this a limitation of the trail version or a bug?
A: No, it is not the limitation.
Please, set these parameters:
var menuBackColor="#000000";
var menuBorderColor="#000000";
var itemBackColor=["#000000","#000000"];
var itemBorderColor=["#000000","#000000"];
Q: We currentlly have a menu that uses standard html hyperlinks to open a new window with _blank as the target. Unfortunately, the size of the window is controlled by the browser and we want to be able to control it. The only way that we know how to do that is to use the window.open client-side function and pass the window's dimensions. Here is a sample of the code that would do that:
window.open("url","_blank","height=1024,width=768,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no");
How can we add the javascript code to the dhtml menu vertical instead of a link? Do you have any samples?
A: You can use javascript code within menuItems, for example
Write:
["Test Window","javascript:window.open('http://www.microsoft.com','_blank','height=1024,width=768,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no');", , ,'Monitor Exceptions' , , '0', '0',,],
Q: I've been working with your javascript menu sample and like what I see so far. One issue I have seems to be with the smColumns variable. I'm assuming it was for just the sub menus but in the trial when I change this the entire menu goes into multi- column mode. I exported the project to HTML thinking I could manually change it there, that produced the same result, changed the entire menu to multi-column.
Our menu will be dynamic (populated from SQL Server) with only some of the sub menus being multi-column. We will even have multiple sub menus for certain items and we'll need to have the capability to set which one of those will be displayed in Multi-columns and which ones will not. (See Below) So the question becomes; Is there a way to set the number of columns only for the javascript menu sample subitems we desire to have multi-column and if so how?
A: You should use Individual Styles and set number of javascript menu sample submenu columns foreach submenu individually.
var menuStyles = [
["smColumns=2","smOrientation=undefined"],
];
