Q: We are testing you menu in our application. It is being used in cross frame mode. It works very nicely except a couple issues.
The main one is after loading a new page in the sub menus window when I go back to the main menu to select another option but on the initial mouse over it takes several seconds for the menu to come up. Once the delay of loading the initial submenu is over it loads all others very quickly until a new page is loaded again. Is there a way to optimize the menu to reduce this load time? I have already set dm_writeAll=0 but that only increased the speed of the initial display of the main menu.
And the other question is does the dmObjectsCheck option work in cross frame mode? I have it set =1 and the submenus still underneath objects (such as select list) which have a higher z order.
A: Try to do the following:
move all <script> calls into <head>, but delete dm_initFrame()function from data .js file -- move them instead of files calls, i.e.:
<head>
<script src=data.js>
...
</head>
...
<div><script>dm_initFrame("frmSet", 1, 2, 1); </script></div>
It this case data will be loaded when <head> will load, but after thatmenus must be shown quickly.
Let me know about results.
Deluxe Menu overlap select objects in cross-frame mode.
Q: Is it possible for the dhtml navigation to stay within a table for placement (in order to have a centered website content optimized for 1024x768 - and always have the content centered in the browser regardless of larger resolution sizes, etc.)? so the horizontal placement may vary but the vertical placement would remain the same.
I'm sure it is - but have not had success on implementing it.
A: You can place a menu in a TABLE or DIV with aligh="center".
Q: Is it possible to change the background color of just one of the menu buttons within a sub navigation bar?
A: Yes, it is possible.Use Individual Item Styles.
Create Individual Item style and assign it to your submenu items usingDeluxe Tuner.
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#800000,#FF8080"], //style0
];
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Product Info","", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif","deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0

Q: However,I am trying to create a menu like<http://deluxe-tree.com/data-samples/tree-menuxp3.html> and amfrustrated.
Where can I get a template or instructions on which parameters I ammisunderstanding in deluxe tuner?
I want a menu with the expandable + signs on the left which will expandon rollover and allow only one to be expanded at the same time.
A: You should set the following parameters
var texpandItemClick = 1;
var tcloseExpanded = 1;
var tcloseExpandedXP = 1;
Try to do it in the new Deluxe Tuner beta version. We've fixed somebugs with these parameters in the new version.
