Q: I have been using the DHTML Menu program for years and they are working good.
But I found an office where the javascript tree menu example just simply does'nt appear.
I am curious about it, why just in that office the Menu is not working.
I can note than other javascript routines I put on my page are not working neither.
Can you give me some idea of what can I check on the computers?
Something on the explorer? (IE6) , or a kind of program?
A: Your browser has JavaScript option disabled.
It means that no one JavaScript element can be run.
You should to enable JavaScript in IE:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Custom level... -> Scripting -> Active Scripting = Enable
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.
You can use search engine friendly code, so you'll see all yourlinks (for the main items and submenus) when your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript.
You can generate search engine friendly code.
Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:
<div id="dmlinks">
<a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">menu_item_text1</a>
<a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">menu_item_text2</a>
...etc.
</div>
To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
You can find this GUI in the trial package.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).Q: Is it possible to have the AJAX menu aligned vertical instead of horizontal? And is the number of levels limited? (I have a site that requires up to 4 levels...)
A: Yes, you can create vertical menu using AJAX feature.
There is no such limitation.
See the following parameter:
var dmAJAXCount=0;
That variable set the maximal number of submenus that will be loadedfrom server on your page.
Q: But one of my big questions... can I use an include to pull the script for menu in?
A: If you don't want to create your menu on each page you can use aserver-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages fromtemplates on your server.
You can use cross frame menu.
It allows you to build full-featured menus on the pagesthat use frame-based structure. And it's not necessary to insert any code into all the pages -just specify the additional parameters of the menu and initialize it.
To install the menu in a cross-frame mode, see more info here:

I have no questions about generating and/or customizing DHTML menues - it's pretty straight forwards.
I am trying to find out how to generate and customize POPUP WINDOWS.
A: To assign popup windows for links on your page do the following:
1) Open your page (for example index.html page) in any text editor.
Add link in the place where you want to have it and specify the ID (for example: win1) for it, for example:
<a href="javascript:;" id="win1">Click Here to see a window</a>
Change parameters of windows in data files, for example popup-window-XP.js.
Open it in any text editor.
2) Add your content.
You can use HTML content, Iframe (url) or any object on your page as popup windows content - Object ID.
For example select HTML content (winContent parameter in the 'Common' section), for example:
<div style="text-align:center;"><b>Sample content</b></div>
This is a simple HTML code for content. Here you may also set link to content page or ID of some element.
3) In the 'Actions' section specify the id of your link (win1) for the onClick event.
4) For example: open the popup-window-XP.html file in any text editor.
Copy all code for Popup window and paste it in the beginning of the <body> tag:
...
<body>
<!-- Deluxe Popup Window -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxepopupwindow.com">menu drop down by DeluxePopupWindow.com <script type="text/javascript" src="popup-window-XP.files/dpopupwindow.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="popup-window-XP.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2009, DeluxePopupWindow.com -->
5) Copy 'popup-window-XP.files/' folder and popup-window-XP.js file into the samefolder with your index.html (root folder of your website).
