Q: I'm trying out your cool dropdown menu code.
I'm trying to rebuild my menu like this one
http://deluxe-menu.com/data-templates/vista-style-3-03-template-sample.html
I have a problem. In my case, I have some really long labels and some short ones. In some cases my text is larger than the button (see attachment). In your example all the buttons have the same width. Is it possible to have a Vista styled menu with different width for the buttons?
A: See images in Vista Templates have the fixed width and height (92 x 21).
If you want to change items' width/height you should change images.
btn_cyan.gif
btn_cyan2.gif
You can do it in any graph editor, for example in Adobe PhotoShop.
You should also change items width in your Individual Item Style.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11pxTahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=btn_cyan.gif,btn_cyan2.gif"],
];
You can do it in Deluxe Tuner.

Q: I bought the Deluxe Menu system for one website. Javascript select menu works well on all versions of IE that I tried (5,6,7)
However, the background and shadow do not render in Firefox. As a result the menu is not as attractive.
Can you help with this or am I stuck?
A: You should add Individual Item style and assign it for the top javascript select menu items:
var itemStyles = [
["itemHeight=20px"],
];
["Home","index.shtml", "", "", "First Page", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ],
["Communication","", "", "", "", "", "0", "-1", "", "", "", ],
