Q: How do I apply styles to submenu items that are different from the styles of top javascript drop down menu items? For instance, I want to know how to apply background images for the submenus, but not for the menu items. I also want borders around the submenu ITEMS, not just the entire submenu. Here is the link to my page with the menus. The menu I am referring to is the top right hand menu (black with grey).

A: Create Individual Item and Submenu styles and assign it to your submenu items.

  var itemStyles = [

["itemHeight=23px","itemBackImage=deluxe-menu.files/btn_black.gif,deluxe-menu.files/btn_cyan.gif","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,groove","itemBorderColor=#2C2C2C,#FF0000"],
];
  var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=transparent","menuBorderWidth=0","menuBorderStyle=none","itemSpacing=0","itemPadding=0px 0px 0px 10px"],

Q: Is it possible via code customization to remove the border only for the top level of popup navigation
and subsequent menu levels with the border?
If yes, would you provide technical assistance with the required code change?

A: You can use Individual Item Style in that case.
You should create Individual Style, for example:

  var itemStyles = [
["itemBorderStyle=none,none"], // style 0
];

And assign it for top items:

  var menuItems = [

["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], // assign style 0
["Product Info","", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], // assign style 0

Q: I am creating buttons for my web page and I can't find where I assign hyperlinks to the individual java menu items? Where is it located?

A: Create your java menu in Deluxe Tuner.

Add items and subitems using buttons "Add Item" and "Add Subitem" onthe main window. Select menu item and set parameters (item text, link,icons, tip, target...) on the "Item Parameters" window.See also other parameters for the menu on the main window.
