Q: I'm currently experimenting with your script which I far more performant than any of the other I have tried so far, so we will probably go with yours and get a distributer license.
I do have a problem though...
I have two menus on my site.
Unfortunately, as they are being used, if you go over the first item in the left menu, it will show its submenu at the top; if you go over the first item of the top menu, it will also show the contents of the second menu...
How can we change this?
A: Installation of your menu is not correct.
See more info about installation here:

There is no
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
parameter on your page.
Notice also that you should call dmenu.js file only once and then callyour data files.
Now you have two calls of dmenu.js file.
Q: Do you support keyboard shortcuts (up/down through javascript for drop down menu)? I couldn't find an example of that.
Also, this one from OpenCube (exploding submenus) runs on Firefox too. No way to get that in yours?
A: No, Deluxe Menu doesn't support transitional effect in Firefox. Thereis no way to do it in the current version of the menu. It is possiblethat we'll add this feature in the next versions.
Deluxe Menu has keyboard support. You can check it on our website

Press Ctrl+F2 to enter/switch to next menu on the page.
Arrow keys - navigate
Esc - exit the menu
Use the following parameter to enable keystrokes support:
var keystrokes = 1;
0 - disabled (default), 1 - enabled.
Use also the following parameters:
var dm_focus = 1; Show focus selection for selected item.
var dm_actKey = 113; Key code for keystrokes activation.
Works with Ctrl key only.
Default value is 113 = F2 key, 114 = F3 key, 115 = F4 key, etc.
Q: My menu is working very well in IE 7.0, and almost very well in FF 2.0.
In your faq, you mention the following:
Fix for flash in Firefox!
If you don't want the flash to hide under submenus in Firefox you should do the following things:
However, I do want the flash to hide under submenus, like it does in IE when I set var dmObjectsCheck = 1;
My menu is beneath my flash.
A: If for some reasons a submenu can't drop down over an object the latter will be hidden for a time when the submenu is shown.
If you don't want to have such effect you should follow these steps.

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.
