Q: Can I use just one data.js in one folder that all the pages with a dhtml popup menu point to?
A: If you don't want to create your menu on each page you can use aserver-side script
(php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages fromtemplates on your server.
You can use cross frame menu.
It allows you to build full-featured menus on the pagesthat use frame-based structure.
And it's not necessary to insert any code into all the pages -just specify the additional
parameters of the menu and initialize it.
To install the menu in a cross-frame mode, see more info here:

I have no experience in programming, only know html/php.
How easy would it be to set up these mouseover menus?
I understand your explanation of copying scripts into the relevant html pages.
But what about inserting the menus? Do I have to program them myself?
A: Unfortunately we don't have step by step tutorial now. We'll try tocreate it in the nearest time.
1. Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner application.
You can create any menu as you like in Deluxe Tuner.
You can use ready to use templates. You can find them in the templateswindow.
When you open Deluxe Tuner ( Deluxe Menu ) you can click "File/New"
and add items and subitems using buttons "Add Item" and "Add Subitem" onthe main window.
You should set items and subitems parameters on the "Item Parameters"window.
See also other parameters for the menu on the main window.
More info about menu parameters you can find on our site
(you can alsouse local version of the site which you can find in the trial package
"Deluxe Menu / deluxe-menu.com /")

You can also use Individual Styles for items and subitems:

2. You should install the menu on your page.
You can click, for example, File/Export to HTML (you can't do it inthe MAC version).
Add several rows into your html page.
<head>
...
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="deluxe-menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script>
//data-deluxe-menu.js - data file created in Deluxe Tuner.
...
</head>
<body>
...
<table>
<tr><td>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/data.js"></script>
</td></tr>
</table>
...
</body>
You should also copy all engine files:
dmenu.js
dmenu4.js
dmenu_add.js
dmenu_dyn.js
dmenu_key.js
dmenu_cf.js
dmenu_popup.js
dmenu_ajax.js
dmenu_search.js
into "deluxe-menu.files/" folder.
You should place this folder in thesame folder with your index. html page.
Try that.Q: How do I go about using the menu javascripts feature and javascript popup on the same HTML page? I'm getting a Java Error.
A: 1) Notice that you should call dmWorkPath parameter and dmenu.js file only once on yourhtml page.
2) When you have several menus on the same page they have different menuInd (0,1,2,3...)
For example you have:
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.js"></script> //standard menu menuInd=0
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="popup-data.js"></script> //popup menu menuInd=1
You should call your popup in the following way:
<img src="mypic.gif" onClick="return dm_popup(1, 1000, event);">
or
<script type="text/javascript" src="popup-data.js"> </script> //popup menu menuInd=0
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.js"></script> //standard menu menuInd=1
You should call your popup in the following way:
<img src="mypic.gif" onClick="return dm_popup(0, 1000, event);">
Q: I am evaluating your Deluxe Menu. I see there are many different template designs. Is it possible to create a custom image to be used as the base image for the main javascript pull down menu? If, so how is it done? Or is it mandatory to use the templates available? I would like to have a larger image for the main javascript pull down menu. Most templates have very small and thin images.
A: No, it is not mandatory to use templates.
You can use your own images. Try to use the following javascript pull down menu parameters:
var menuBackImage="";
var menuBackRepeat="repeat";
var itemBackImage=["",""];
And Individual Item Style and Individual Submenu Styles.
