Q: I am using cross frame menu dropdown. I have three frames: Top, Left and main (middle).
I am using the script and data from your sample file; it works fine. Only problem is submenu is offset to the right. It does not show up exactly down below the top menu.
What could be the problem?
A: Deluxe Menu doesn't work correctly (incorrect submenu position) if youhave complex frame structure.
The problem is in a structure of your frameset.
Mozilla browsers can't determine absolute coordinates for a frame, so submenus drop down with an offset.
You should create, for example, the following frameset structure:
--|------------
| menu
--|------------
|
| submenus
|
Now a top row has 2 columns and all browsers can determine a width of the 1st column in the second row.
You should write init function in the following way in that case:
dm_initFrame("mainframe",1,3,0);
Q: Looking at the tab menu code below, am I right in guessing what the first 6 parameters are, and can you tell me what the last 3 are forplease?
var bmenuItems = [
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Title","...link.asp", "iconNormal", "iconMouseOver","iconSelected", "tootip", "?", "?", "?", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
A: var bmenuItems = [
[item_text, object_to_show, normal_icon, mouseover_icon, selected_icon, tooltip, item_style],
[item_text, object_to_show, normal_icon, mouseover_icon, selected_icon, tooltip, item_style],
...
];
so it's a item_style, the last two are reserved and not used.

Q: I am sure this is a pretty minor thing…When one of my dhtml menu dropdown items is a link to a url, is there a setting to change the cursor to a hand versus the normal arrow? Basically, I want the links of the dhtml menu dropdown items to look like most other links on any webpage.
A: Try to set the following parameter:
var itemCursor="pointer";
Q: Question is where in the data file configuration or within the menu Tuner would I inseart the icons for individual item labels and center them over the text or other alignments like you did in the horizontal menu on the deluxe-menu.com web site?
A: You should write, for example, so:
["<img src='data.files/micon1.gif' width=32 height=32><br> Home","testlink.html", , ,"" , , , , , ],
