Q: Can you please tell me what is wrong with the second level of java file menu not lining up at the top of the screen? Admin --> Organization Information --> Providers is dropped down too far. (testimage.bmp attached) (css attached) (javascript attached) Also the desktop menu is not flushed all the way to the left, can you tell me why that is?
A: This is space to document borders. We've set this space, so that yoursubmenus will not look like the part of browser window. If you wantyou can delete that space.
Open dmenu.js file in any text editor and find the following code:
space=15;
Change 15 to 0.
space=0;
Try that.
Q: How does one go about changing the parameter or the menu in java script so that a menu selection stays 'on'?
In other words, the menu remains selected, perhaps in a background color that shows the user this menu choice is selected and the user is in the selected menu area.
A: To save your navigation path you should set the following parameter:
var saveNavigationPath = 1;
The menu keeps items highlighted during menu navigation.
0 - disabled, 1 - enabled (default).
You can highlight menu items by default in two ways:
1) Set the pressed item on each page idividually using the following parameter:
var pressedItem = -2;
The toggle mode. Sets an index of an item that will be highlighted by default.
-2 - the toggle mode is disabled;
-1 - the toggle mode is enabled, but no items highlighted by default;0,1,2,3,... - index of highlighted item in a top-level menu.
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, for example:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script >
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var pressedItem=2;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
2) Set the pressed item/subitem using dm_ext_setPressedItem () function.

http://deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.htmlQ: I am totally confused by this now but I have 2 data files - one for a menu bar going horizontal and one going vertical both containing the same information. But even though the content is the same, the layout is different.
You will see that on the horizontal menu,
Fleet
Financce
CPC Cards
Cashire
These are listed correctly under each other but on the vertical one, the layout differs.
A: You should write your parameters more carefully.
See, now you have
menuItems = [
["About us","javascript:alert('Coming Soon')", , , ,"" ,0 , , , ],
["|||Organisation Chart","javascript:alert('Coming Soon')", , , ,"" ,1, , , ],
First you have the 1-st level of menu items then at once 4-th. It isnot right. You should write the number of your Individual Style in ""also.
See, how you should write your menuItems:
menuItems = [
["About us","javascript:alert('Coming Soon')", , , ,"" ,"0" , , , ],
["|Organisation Chart","javascript:alert('Coming Soon')", , , ,"","1", , , ],

Q: I have the trial of deluxe menu. We are in the process of purchasing it.
I just noticed that the div drop down menu are not going in front of a flash element that is on the page.
I have set the "opaque" value as per your faq.
Any other things I should check to get the div drop down menu to be in front of the flash element?
A: You should add the following function in the beginning of your data file
function dm_ext_ruleObjectHide()
{
return false;
}
