Q: I cannot see the shadow on the top items of the menu. Can you help me?
A: Now you have shadow the submenus only, if you want to have shadowfor the top items you should set the following parameters:
//--- Transitional Effects & Filters
var shadowLen=4;
var shadowColor="#B1B1B1";
var shadowTop=1;
You can see the shadow in Internet Explorer 5+ only.

Q: We are registered users of the Deluxe Menu software. Today I tried to use the Javascript API, but there is something I do not understand and want to ask for support.
First, I set up a very simple menu:
var menuItems=[
['Menu 1'],
['|Submenu 1'],
['Menu 2'],
['|Submenu 2'],
];
This menu is built via dm_init().
Then, I inspect the menu (in Firebug):
>>> dm_ext_getSubmenuParams(0, 0)
["dm0m0", 2, "", 0, 1]
>>> dm_ext_getSubmenuParams(0, 1)
["dm0m1", 1, "dm0m0i0", 1, 0]
>>> dm_ext_getSubmenuParams(0, 2)
["dm0m2", 1, "dm0m0i1", 1, 0]
Ok, there are three submenus. Now I am going to delete one of them:
>>> dm_ext_deleteItem(0, 0, 1)
"Menu 2" disappears on the screen, this works as expected. But now when I re-inspect the menu using the API, I find that the API reports exactly the same as before:
>>> dm_ext_getSubmenuParams(0, 0)
["dm0m0", 2, "", 0, 1]
>>> dm_ext_getSubmenuParams(0, 1)
["dm0m1", 1, "dm0m0i0", 1, 0]
>>> dm_ext_getSubmenuParams(0, 2)
["dm0m2", 1, "dm0m0i1", 1, 0]
So, it seems the report function continues to know about the original menu structure and reflects it. Am I using the API in a wrong way?
The problem I want to solve is to remove the entire menu dinamico dhtml, in order to rebuild it dynamically. Because I did not see a function aimed to this functionality, my plan was to delete all main menu entries subsequently until the main menu inspector no longer reports an entry. Is there (a better) way to achieve this?
A: Unfortunately, dm_ext_deleteItem() only change visibility of theseitems.
It doesn't delete them completely.
We'll try to fix it in the next versions of Deluxe Menu.
Q: I have just come across your page. I need to publish a mass of data on a site where javascript ist turned off. Is dynamic drop down menus able to work in an javascript free environment?
A: No, Deluxe Menu is Javascript menu.
When your security settings doesn't allow Javascript onpages you load you can't see a dynamic page content. So, you cannotsee your javascript menu at all.
Q: I just purchased the Deluxe PopUp Window application in order to implement some pop up window on my web site the way I need them to work.
Infact, after taking a look at your application it doesn't seem (maybe I'm wrong) it can be used the way I need to.
To cut a long story short: I need the PopUP window onclick to show images and not texts pening up them by clicking on a text-link.
Images are many so, if I not wrong I must create lots of windows each one for each single image.
So, my questions are:
1) Can I use you pop up to show images only?
2) Can I activate them by clicking on the related links.
Generally, in order to do so, I have a single js script that activate the window onclick. To load a Popup window I need to click on a link by opening an HTML page containing the image.
To let it all work I need a <script> function in the <head> </head> tags and an onclick command calling the PopUp script activated when I click on the related link.
So, does your script work the same way. Can you confirm me that I can use your application just the same way as I have always done with a simple .js script + an .htm page containing an image?
I hope I was clear.
A: You can call only one data file and use deluxePopupWindow.open() function to open your windows:
<a href="javascript:;" onclick="deluxePopupWindow.open('window1', '<img src=\'img/DSCN3699.jpg\'>',
'Window1','width=100,height=100,resizable,scrollbars=no,middle,right,fade-effect',
'simple')">Click Here to see a chase1 sample</a>
