 Q:
Can I create menus with cross-frame capability using your drop down menu generator?
 With the menu being
in one frame and the submenus opening to the other frame?
 
 A:
See how should you create cross frame menu:
 
 1. To initialize the cross frame menu call dm_initFrame()
 function instead of standard dm_init() function within data.js file:
 
 dm_initFrame(framesetID, mainFrameInd, subFrameInd, orientation);
 
 framesetID - id attribute of the frameset;
 mainFrameInd - index of the main frame (where the top-menu is placed), >=0;
 subFrameInd - index of the subframe (where the submenus will be shown), >=0;
 orientation - frame orientaion: 0 - top-to-bottom, 1 - left-to-right; 2 - bottom-to-top; 3 - right-to-left.
 
 So you should create your menu in Deluxe Tuner, save it.
 Create html file with your frame set.
 Set ID for the first frameset:
 <FRAMESET id=frmSet rows=220,*>
 <FRAME id=frame1 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/cross-frame-horizontal-1.htm"> //menu frame
 <FRAME id=frame2 name=frame2 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/testlink.htm"> //content frame
 </FRAMESET>
 
 Then you should open your data file in any text editor and change
 dm_init(); for example to dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);
