while ($itemData=mysql_fetch_array($allItems))

Q: How do you change the back ground color of the menu?
menuBackColor just changes the pull down background.
I'm stuck with a blue background which i guess is the default.

I've looked at the parameters page for info, tried a few different items but none worked for changing the background.

I'm sure its something very obvious, but any help would be appreciated.

A: Please, don't forget to change also item background colors:

  var itemBackColor = ["color", "color"];



Q: How can you set an item in a dhtml dropdown to just have a text and not a link

A: Don't add link in the item's link field:

["Home","", "default.files/icon1_s.gif", "default.files/icon1_so.gif", "", "Home Page Tip", "_blank", "", "", "", ],];
