Q: How do I create more space between the menu items?
I have tried adding to the Item Appearance, itemSpacing and itemPadding.
A: You can paste the separator.
Please, see the following parameters:
//------- Separators -------
var separatorWidth = "10";
var separatorHeight = "20";
var separatorAlignment = "center";
var separatorImage = "C";
var separatorVWidth = "150";
var separatorVHeight = "10%";
var separatorVImage = "image.jpg";
You can create separators using menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],
];
You can also use this parameter:
var itemPadding = "4px";
You can also set multiple values, for example:
var itemPadding = "2px 15px 5px 5px";
(top, right, bottom, left)

Q: We currentlly have a menu that uses standard html hyperlinks to open a new window with _blank as the target. Unfortunately, the size of the window is controlled by the browser and we want to be able to control it. The only way that we know how to do that is to use the window.open client-side function and pass the window's dimensions. Here is a sample of the code that would do that:
window.open("url","_blank","height=1024,width=768,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no");
How can we add the javascript code to the dhtml menu vertical instead of a link? Do you have any samples?
A: You can use javascript code within menuItems, for example
Write:
["Test Window","javascript:window.open('http://www.microsoft.com','_blank','height=1024,width=768,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no');", , ,'Monitor Exceptions' , , '0', '0',,],
Q: I'm confused in how to do this. I want to change the background color of one of the javascript and menu items. If I understand correctly I go to INDIVIDUAL STYLES and should be able to change the background color for one of the menu items there. Under item appearance I tried to change itemBackColor - but I can't seem to make it take affect (I tried clicking OK but its under the Style Names, so thats probably not it.
A: You should click "Edit Individual Styles" button.
On the 'Item Styles' tab click "Add style" button.
Set itemBackColor and click "OK" button.
Select the item you want to change the style for and assign new style for it. Go to Item Parameters window 'Item style' field.
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#EB2999,#590937"], //style0
];
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
