Q: How do you specify different number of sub menu columns for each menu heading in the dhtml menu bar?
When I put var smColumns = 5; it changed it for both my multicolumn headings.
A: You should use Individual Submenu Styles, for example:
var menuStyles = [
["smColumns=3"],// 0 style
["smColumns=2"],// 1 style
];
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", "", "", ],
["Product Info","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Features","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", ], // 0 style

Q: My problem is that the easy dropdown menu, as opposed to being in a fixed position
as stated in the .js file floats up and down with the page..How do I fix this..
A: You should set the following parameter to disable the floating feature:
var floatable=0;Q: I need to know how to have the background in the main items of the dynamic menu transparent, and then the sub-menus a different translucent color.
A: To set transparent background for the menu you should set:
var menuBackColor="transparent";
var itemBackColor=["transparent","transparent"];
and use Individual Item Styles for your submenus:
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#8EE8E1,#26BBB0"], //style0
["itemBackColor=#F4B7FB,#E65AF5"], //style1
];

Q: How can I create an image based tabs with the javascript tabs generator.
A: To use Image templates you should add separators between the items and assign Tab Style for the items.
To make a separator set an Item Text value into '-'.
You'll have the following bmenuItems var bmenuItems = [
['Item 1','', '', '', '', '', '1', '','', ], //assign Individual Style 2
['-','', '', '', '', '', '0', '', '', ], //assign Individual Style 1
['Item 3','', '', '', '', '', '','', '', ],
['-','', '', '', '', '', '0', '', '', ], //assign Individual Style 1
['Item 5','', '', '', '', '', '2','', '', ], //assign Individual Style 3
