Q: If I use the Search Engine Friendly Code feature, do I have to update or redo it each time I change the drop menu script and save, or if I do it once to the file will it automatically update on every save?
A: If you change drop menu script items (item's text and links) you should updateyour search engine friendly code. Deluxe Tuner doesn't update it onevery save (when you save your data file).
There is no need to update it when you change menu parameters only.
Q: When I create a tab which has no sub-items, there is a white line drawn under the whole top javascript tabbed menu bar.
How do I avoid this?
A: Each menu item should have subitems (in the TabMode).
If you don't want to have subitems for some items you can add onesubitem and delete Item Text.

["|","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
Q: I am now ready to re-create my menu. It says to edit my data file. When I try to do that it will NOT open. It says my computer does not have the right program? What do I need?
Also, once I have created the menu in Deluxe tuner, where should I save it? In the folder where my website pages are saved? Again, I am using Yahoo sitebuilder, so I am not exactly sure where I should save it in these folders?
Furthermore, when I tried to save a file before I removed Deluxe tuner and reloaded it, It would ask me if I wanted to copy all my files? What is that and what is the purpose?
I really like the deluxe tuner and I really want to be able to utilize this to create a menu, however, if I can't figure out how to get it onto my website, I am going to be out of luck

You should open your data file with the menu in any text editor andadd your reg. key.
Try that.

You can save your data file in any place and then copy to the rightplace.> Furthermore, when I tried to save a file before I removed Deluxe tuner and

If you click yes, Deluxe Tuner save also all engine .js files and allyour images into "data.files/" folder.
You can also click Export->To HTML.
So you'll have html page with your menu and folder with engine .jsfiles and images.
So you should to do the following things:
1. open your page in Yahoo's SiteBuilder
2. open generated with Deluxe Tuner html source code of the page in anytext editor
3. copy such lines from html source code
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "data.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.files/dmenu.js"></script>
and add them in you <head> tag.
Then find such line, for example:
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.files/data.js"></script>
and add it in you <body> tag in the place where you want to have themenu. For example, you can paste it in <table> or <div> tag:
<table>
<tr><td><script type="text/javascript" src="data.files/data.js"></script></td></tr>
</table>
or
<div align=center>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.files/data.js"></script>
</div>

You should also copy "data.files/" folder in the right place. In thefolder where you have you index.html page, created in Yahoo'sSiteBuilder.
Q: What I have to do for the following problem:
When I press a tab, the new site will be load into the browser.
Great! BUT the pressed button is not be marked. Always the Tab 1 is blue. What's wrong??
A: This Tabs menu can save pressed item automatically within1 page only. If you open another page, the menu can't remember presseditem. You should do that manually using Javascript and menu parameters( var bselectedItem and var var bselectedSmItem) or using any server-side script (php, asp, etc.)
Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab.
If your site is written on PHP you can set "bselectedItem" and "varbselectedSmItem" parameters based on your link beforeyou call your data file.
For example, move "bselectedItem" and " var bselectedSmItem" parametersfrom your data file to your code.
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem=<?php echo $seltabs; ?>;
var bselectedSmItem=<?php echo $selsmtabs; ?>;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
You should define seltabs and selsmtabs using server side script.
You can also set on every page before you call data.js file, forexample:
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem=4;
var bselectedSmItem=3;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
