Q: I recently downloaded Deluxe Menu to try before I buy. While it was easy to create a menu, when I followed the directions for pasting in the two lines of code where I wanted the menu to appear, it didn't work. Rather, it always positioned the menu at the very top of the page.
Is this intentionally the case because this is a trial version?
I very much like the program; however, I have to know it's going to work correctly before I buy.
A: Info about installation of the menu on your html page you can findhere:

> Rather, it always positioned the menu at the very
> top of the page.
Please, check that you have
var absolutePos=0;
You can also send us a copy of your html page (including .js files) and we will check it.
Q: I can't figure out how to get menu items to swap images to use like a traditional image rollover. In the Dhtml menu, I can change the style background without needing images, or I can use generic images as a background, but I have situations where I need to use unique images for each state of a button.
These unique image buttons contain text and graphics, and there are different images for different states: normal, mouse over, mouse down.
A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
You should use Individual Item Styles.
Please, see the example of Deluxe Menu here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/data-templates/vista-style-02-template-sample.html
You should use "itemBackImage" parameter.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11px Tahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=btn_greenblack.gif,btn_green.gif"],
];
Q: Where do I increase the width of the javascript menu bars for each entry? Some of my links are a bit longer than the image and it's causing it to use part of another gif to cover it. Sorry not sure if I even explained that right. Let me know if this makes sense.
A: I suppose that you're using Vista style templates.
The width of vista images is 94px. If the width of your menu itemis wider than 94px you should correct the width of the images in anygraph editor, for example in Photoshop. You should set the width ofthese images 120px and set the following parameter:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=120px","itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=bold 10pxTahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#F8FF95","itemBackImage=columbine.files/btn_orange.gif,columbine.files/btn_orange2.gif"],
];
You can also try to use the following parameter to use combinedbackground for your items:
var beforeItemImage = [,]; //left-side image for normal and mouse over state
var itemBackImage = [,]; //background or image for normal and mouse over state
var afterItemImage = [,]; //right-side image for normal and mouse over state
var beforeItemImageW = '';
var afterItemImageW = '';
var beforeItemImageH = '';
var afterItemImageH ='';
Q: Utilizing the drop down web menu under Internet Explorer 7, it gives me a popup of “To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restrictedthis webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer. Click here for optons….
Is there a way to bypass this popup and IE recognize it as a valid script?
A: Please, see security preferences: IE/Tool/Internet OptionsMake sure that Active content is enabled.
You should check your Security Settings.
There is no way to enable these settings automatically.
