Q: Your service is excellent and I am making progress learning the program. I was able to resolve the transparency issue thanks to your help but, but now I have another one that is stumping me.
I can get the dhtml javascript menu script to show up in my html document and it works as I hoped it would. However, no matter where I put the line of code in my html file, the dhtml javascript menu script always shows up at the very top of the page. The instructions indicate the following:
Copy the following code into clipboard and paste it into the place you want to have the dhtml javascript menu script:
<script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script>
For example, into a table cell:
<table>
<td><script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script></td>
</table>
No matter where I put the code: <script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script>, the menu shows up at the top of the page.
What am I missing?
A: Check that you're using relative position for the dhtml javascript menu script:
var absolutePos=0; var posX="0px"; var posY="0px";
Q: Do you have any working examples of a menu generated using .php from a MySQL database?
Our website is dynamic from a MySQL db and we already have categories and sub-categories. It would be useful if we could use this with our deluxe menu.
I don't know how to set this up, so any assistance would be appreciated.
A: You may generate a menu from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.
However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files, so, you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<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>
<!-- (c) 2006, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
var parameter1=value1;
var parameter2=value2;
etc.
var menuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];</script>
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:

Q: I made a css tab menu on this website and I noticed that I need to click two time to get the link.
It doesn't work if I click only one time. Could you help me to fixe that ?
A: You should set correct selected item:
var bselectedItem=2; //0,1,2...
Set also:
var tabMode=0;
var bselectedSmItem=0;
In that case you should write your links in the following way:
["Hem","link:index.php?p=1_10", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Om oss","link:index.php?p=1_11", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Kontakt","link:index.php?p=1_12", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: Another problem I've found with v3.1 is that the top X value of the javascript floating menu is not used once you start scrolling a page.
A: Yes, we've made some changes in javascript floating menu feature in the new version.
Try to set
var floatable=2;
