Q: Now I need to work out how to add multiple menu's to a page? Are you able to reference these separately - is this possible.
The page that I am creating lists out notes from our system - there is a "options" button to the right of each note - when the cursor hovers over this button I want to dynamically load themenu's. On any page there could be over a 100 of these "option" buttons and the menu that would load from each option button could be different and specific to the note.
A: You can add as many menus as you want on the one page.
You should call
<SCRIPT type=text/javascript> var dmWorkPath = "data.files/";</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT src="data.files/dmenu.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
and then call your data files:
<SCRIPT src="data.files/data1.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT src="data.files/data2.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT src="data.files/data3.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT src="data.files/data4.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>

You may also generate a menus from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.
Q: The dropdown menu works perfect locally, but when hosted it doesnt seen to work, im sorry i dont completly understand what you mean when using the other parameters to make it absolute... here is the html files, and the .js files included in a zip file.
A: Now on your website you have the following code:
["Home","C:\Documents and Settings\Josh\Desktop\Josh\Alsek Website\home.htm", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
["Products","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Lift Kits","C:/Documents and Settings/Josh/Desktop/Josh/Alsek Website/Pages/LiftKits.html", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
...
On your website you're using paths to the pages situated on a localdisk. It is not right.
You can try to write
["Home","pages/home.htm", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
["Products","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Lift Kits","pages/LiftKits.html", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
...
You can also use pathPrefix_link parameter.
var pathPrefix_link = "http://www.domain.com/";
and write
["Home","home.htm", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
["Products","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Lift Kits","pages/LiftKits.html", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
Q: By the way, this is an issue at your site, too...
Have a look at
http://deluxe-menu.com/objects-overlapping-sample.html in
FireFox - when hovering over the Product Info or Samples buttons, the Deluxe Menu flash element disappears behind the drop-down menu.
I notice this pages states: "If for some reasons a submenu can't drop down over an object the latter will be hidden for a time when the submenu is shown.".
A: Unfortunately, it is really so.
Now there is no work around for this.
We'll try to fix this bug in the future version of Deluxe Menu.
Q: I need to have a horizontal menu and a vertical menu on the same page (obviously with different content). I did this as two separate "projects" in the tuner and gave them different names so that the files wouldn't step on each other. However, it looks like only the second menu works, though it does show both. I assume it has something to do with the variable dmWorkPath overriding the first value with the second. How can I have two menus each with different content on the same HTML page?
A: You can use as many menus as you want on the one page.
But you should call dmWorkPath parameter and dmenu.js file only once.
