Q: I am having a problem trying to get my scrolling menu javascript to work correctly with frames.
My web page is frame based. There are THREE (3) Rows. The top roe is "header" and the bottom row is "footer". The center row is divided into TWO (2) columns. The left is "contents" and the right is "main". This is a very standard configuration.
I have created a menu called "member-menu" and added it to the "content" html file. I have edited the "member-menu.js" file to add the "dm_initFrame("FrmSet",0,1,0); at the end of the file. Using the instruction provided when the scrolling menu javascript was saved. I then uploaded all of the required file to my server. At this point everything is fine, I go to a password protected page in the "\members" folder and this seems to work also. When I try to go to a "submenu" it wants to expand to the right in the "content" FRAME. I need it to expand into the "main" FRAME on the right.
I know that I am doing something wrong. I have read the instructions a dozen times and can't find the problem.
A: You should write the ID of your frames correctly, for example now youhave:
header - 0
contents - 1 (frame with the menu)
main - 2 (frame with submenus)
bootom - 3
In that case you should write init function in the following way:
dm_initFrame("FrmSet",1,2,1);
where - dm_initFrame("FrmSet",frame with the menu,frame with submenus,1);
Try that.

I want to show all the items as asingle line at each level, aligned to the left of the frame. I cannot find a way ofsetting left align in the style sheet or in the deluxe tuner for the css dhtml menu.
A: We've added align parameters in the new version 3.6:
var subMenuAlign="pleft";
You should set this parameter and specify width for submenu. You can use different smwidthfor each submenu using Individual Submenu styles.Q: I place all of my files in folders. If I want the Deluxe menu to work I have to have the Deluxe menu saved in each folder for it to work with the files inside those folders.
A: There is no need to copy al files for the menu in each folder.
To install the menu you can use such paths:
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "../menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Please, try to use these parameters.
Q: I am using the deluxe menu in a cross frame set-up. The sub menu's are to be in the 'MAIN' frame. All works great until I have a php file loaded into the MAIN frame.. the sub menus will load in the parent frame.. where the main drop down menu is..
Click skip intro or wait for the site to appear… you will see the menu down the left side… if you click the second button down you will load a php blog page into the MAIN frame… then hover over the third button down and you will see the problem with the sub menu.. it works fine when other pages are loaded (click Home and then hover over the screenplay button again.
Everything is local (the blog is loaded and running for our server account)
A: Your menu is situated in http://www.domain.com domain andthis content is situated in http://domain.com domain(without www).
Try to use the same domains for the menu and your content.
