Q: Does Deluxe-Menu work on .ASPX pages. Actually, I have got them to but the icons don’t appear. This may just be a path issue but I don’t see anything on your site saying that it will work with ASPX.Please let me know.
A: Deluxe Menu works fine on .ASPX pages.
You should install Deluxe Menu on the .aspx page in the same way asyou install it on the html page.
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: Also once you click a link and go to a new page, how do you get the java choice menu tab for that new page to stay the highlighted one?
A: Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab aslo.
You can set "bselectedItem" and " var bselectedSmItem" parametersbased on your link before you call your data file.
For example, move " var bselectedItem" and " var bselectedSmItem" parametersfrom your data file to your code.
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem=<?php echo $seltabs; ?>;
var bselectedSmItem=<?php echo $selsmtabs; ?>;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
You should define seltabs and selsmtabs using server side script.
You can also set it on every page before you call data.js file, forexample:
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem=4;
var bselectedSmItem=3;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
Q: I try to find things out.
What is the difference between itemStyles and menuStyles in dhtml menu wizard?
The look likes the same to me.
A: You should assign the menuStyles to the whole submenu (the first item in the submenu).
itemStyles you should assign for each item individually.

http://deluxe-menu.com/individual-submenu-styles-info.htmlQ: I am trying to get my text within a single menu item to have text on two lines as opposed to be all on one line.
For example, I currently have CumberlandHeadElementary School all on one line of a menu. I would like to have Cumberland Head on one line and Elementary School on a line below Cumberland Head. Hope this makes some sense.
Thanks for your help.
A: Try to set this parameter:
var noWrap=0;
If it is not suitable for you, try to use <br> tags in the item text, for example:
var menuItems = [
["please, select the color you<br>prefer for the background
of<br>the image of the photo of your son",,,],
];
