Q: Why is the submenu a different colour has a different colour than menu items - surely that's not an IE specific feature? The top-level menu items seem to be a different size too, so the layout in IE looks more even.
A: Submenus has a different color because they have a transparency:
var transparency="90";
Set it to 100.
Submenus also have larger width than top items because they containsmore text. If you want to wrap the text, use
tag between item words.
Q: My website is created on Front Page.
Is it easy to incorporate your menu into a website created on Front Page?
A: Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension,BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files. To install the menuinto your html page:
1. open the page in Dreamweaver/Frontpage
2. open html source code of the page
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:
http://deluxe-menu.com/installation-info.html
That's all.
To create and configure your menus use Deluxe Tuner application(included into the trial package):

Q: We have two frames in a frameset, one for the menu and one for the content where the javascript menu frame expands normally without any problem. Our content frame's source is determined dynamically. The problem occurs when the content frame contains a page with another frameset in it. Unfortunately we can not avoid this for now. And when this happens our menu stops expanding.
A: Unfortunately it is really possible that you'll have problems in thatcase because the index of the content frame will be changed.
For example now you have:
<frameset id="frmSet">
<frame> //menu index=0
<frame> //content index=1
</frameset>
Your init function will be:
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);
But if you'll have frameset instead of content frame:
<frameset id="frmSet">
<frame> //menu index=0
<frameset>
<frame> // index=1
<frame> //content index=2
</frameset>
</frameset>
You should write your init function in the following way:
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 2, 0);
You should change your javascript menu frame init function in that case.
Q: Trying to install XP style floating dhtml slide down menu but have these problems:
- Menu does not stay within table cell
- Is not floating
A: > - DHTML slide down menu does not stay within table cell
You're using the floating feature now. Your dhtml slide down menu will float withabsolute position only. So, now you have:
var tabsolute=1;
var tleft="1px";
var ttop="1px";
That is why your dhtml slide down menu does not stay within table cell and hasabsolute position.
> - Is not floating
Try to call on your page
<script type="text/javascript" src="philmenu.files/dtree_add.js"></script>
