Q: My question is how can I change the size and color of the font for the
main items in the simple dhtml menu, not the drop downs?
A: You can use Individual Item Styles in that case:
http://deluxe-menu.com/individual-item-styles-info.html
Set the style you need for subitems:
var fontStyle=["normal 11px Trebuchet MS, Tahoma","normal 11px Trebuchet MS, Tahoma"];
Set the style you need for main items:
var itemStyles = [
["fontStyle='bold 12px Arial','bold 12px Arial'"], // style 0
];
Assign this style for main items:
var menuItems = [
["Scenic album","scenic-album.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //assign style 0
["|Item 8","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Item 9","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
> ["|Item 10","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ], ["Floral album","floral-album.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //assign style 0
["Southwest album","southwest-album.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //assign style 0
["Wildlife album","wildlife-album.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //assign style 0
];
Q: I just purchased your Deluxe Menu maker. Wonderful tool!
I have made a menu, uploaded it to my HTML folder at Typepad in the correct place and tried several OTHER places too.
I have inserted the js snips into the head and body in all permutations of combinations.
I checked it each time by both opening my site and viewing source.
The menu is there. But it cannot be seen on the page. Never has been seen. Not even a hint of it being there.
I tried .js .file AND .js AND CSS.
No menu.
I checked on four browsers.
No menu.
I verified the files are in my index place by copying them to notebook.
I have done all of the above about 20 times EACH.
A: See, now you have:

It is not correct. You should call dmenu.js file only once.
Please, delete the second code.
There is now engine .js files
dmenu.js
dmenu4.js
dmenu_add.js
dmenu_dyn.js
dmenu_key.js
dmenu_cf.js
dmenu_popup.js
dmenu_ajax.js
and data file on your server.
Q: I am working with drop down menu creator that I just downloaded and am having problems with where the menu is being placed. It looks likemaybe the "trial" logo is in the right spot but the menu is appearing several rows below where I insert it. Any ideas?
A: Try to set the following parameters:
var posX="0px";
var posY="0px";
Q: I've been using your application for about 2 years but have never been able to insert a vertical divider in dhtml menu source.
A: You should set a separator in the menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","index.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
["-"],
["About Us","about.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
];
Please, see the following parameters:
//--- Separators
var separatorImage=""; //for subitems
var separatorWidth="100%";
var separatorHeight="3px";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="images/public/separator.gif"; //for the top items
var separatorVWidth="100%";
var separatorVHeight="2px";
var separatorPadding="";
