]; Q: I would like to separate each main js dropdown menu item (Find an Expert, Contact...etc) with a dotted line graphic. If you look at the js dropdown menu, you will see that each graphic is separated by a dotted line. I am trying to replicate that look in the Deluxe Menu. Is there a way I can do that? I tried to use the "separatorImage" value in the DeluxeTuner, but it didn't seem to do anything. Is there a way to put a dotted border just along the bottom of them item, instead of around the whole item (like a box)? Or is there a way to insert the graphic between the items?
A: To add a separator you should
//--- Separators
var separatorImage=""; //for subitems (top items in vertical menu)
var separatorWidth="100%";
var separatorHeight="3px";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="separator.gif"; //for the top items (subitems items in vertical menu)
var separatorVWidth="100%";
var separatorVHeight="2px";
var separatorPadding="";
You can create separators using menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],
];
Q: Could you please advise how to stop cascading html menus going under a swf in Firefox?
A: To overlap your flash file you should add opaque parametersto your flash, for example:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0"
width="566" height="250" title="Intro">
<param name="movie" value="/includes/banner_final3d.swf" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="/includes/banner_final3d.swf" quality="high" wmode="opaque" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="566" height="250"></embed>
</object>

http://deluxe-menu.com/objects-overlapping-sample.htmlQ: Is there a tutorial on how to use css navigation bar
A: Unfortunately we don't have step by step tutorial yet.
We'll try to create it in the nearest time.
1. Create your Css menu in Deluxe Tuner.
When you open Deluxe Tuner you can click "File/New"and add items and subitems using buttons "Add Item" and "Add Subitem" onthe main window.
See the parameters for the menu on the main window.
More info about menu parameters you can find on our site
http://deluxe-menu.com/css-menu/parameters-info.html
You can also use Individual Styles for items and subitems
http://deluxe-menu.com/individual-item-styles-info.html
http://deluxe-menu.com/individual-submenu-styles-info.html
2. You should install the menu on your page.
You can click, for example, File->Save Css Menu/Export HTML
So, you'll have folder with images ("deluxe-css-menu.files/" folder by default),deluxe-css-menu.html file and deluxe-css-menu.js file with all menu parameters (project file you need, if you wantto modify your menu later).
Open deluxe-css-menu.html file in any text editor and copy several rows ofcode into your page (for example index.html page of your website).
Copy and paste several rows into your html page (index.html).
<head>
...
<style>
ul.cssMenu ul{display:none}
ul.cssMenu li:hover>ul{display:block}
ul.cssMenu ul{position: absolute;left:-1px;top:98%;}
ul.cssMenu ul ul{top:-2px; left:98%}
ul.cssMenu {
...
ul.cssMenum0 li li {
margin:0px;
}
</style>
...
</head>
You should also copy "deluxe-menu.files/" folder with all imagesinto the same folder with your index.html page.
More info about installation:

Try that.
