Q: My site requires me to regularly update the menu by inserting a new menu item at the top of the list. Creating a sub-item automatically places it at the bottom and I haven't yet found a way to move java animated menu items to the top apart from manually editing the data.js file.
A: You should use new engine files v3.2.5 and add items using thefollowing function:
function dm_ext_addItemPos (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams, Pos)
Adds the new item to a submenu.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0. See more info about indexes here.
iParams = [array] - the array of item parameters. This parameter has the same structure as an item in menuItems array. You can assign parameters of another existent item of the menu (for example, when you want to create a duplicate of the existent item) or create new ones.
Structure of iParams:
[item_text, link, icon_normal, icon_over, tip, target, individual_style_index, jsFilename]
Pos - the position in the menu where you want to add new item.

Q: Once again, I need your help....I have gone through my eniter site to fix what it takes to keep this menu from hiding the flash header when you role over the main menu items. It still hides. The problem still exists. Help!
A: You should add the following function in the beginning of your data file
function dm_ext_ruleObjectHide()
{
// Safari detect
if ((parseInt(navigator.productSub)>=20020000) && (navigator.vendor.indexOf('Apple Computer') != -1) && (navigator.product=='Gecko'))
return true;
else
return false;
}
You should add this function each time you change your menu in DeluxeTuner as it deletes this function from your data file.
Q: I need your help. I built a menu with your software, and I followed all your instructions on placing it on my web page, but it's not working. The drop down menu in javascript will not go into its table cell. I have a flash banner in the cell above it, and the menu seems to be behind that banner, but the menu is not even inside the table.
I also tried placing the drop down menu in javascript on another page where I do not have a flash banner, but it doesn't show up at all.
A: You've set absolute position for the drop down menu in javascript
var absolutePos=1;
var posX="100px";
var posY="200px";
You should set:
var absolutePos=0;
var posX="0px";
var posY="0px";
Q: We purchased your deluxe menu two months ago. Right now, I try to resize the menu icon to fit our website. I changed MenuHeight, I got duplicate menu icons. I also want to change Menu Icon font, but I couldn't do it. We have your previous version menu system, As soon as we change bigger font for Menu Icon, it will be resize. I really think you sould have this function. Otherwise, I got create my own image.
A: See images in Vista Templates have the fixed width and height (92 x21).
If you want to change items' width/height you should change images.
btn_magentablack.gif
btn_magenta.gif
You can do it in any graph editor, for example in Adobe PhotoShop.
To change font in the top items you should change your Individual ItemStyle.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11px
Tahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=data-vista-03.files/btn_magentablack.gif,data-vista-03.files/btn_magenta.gif"],
];
You can do it in Deluxe Tuner.
