Q: > You should call the following function:
> dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 12)
> where 12 - is index of the item.
How would I know that 12 is the index of the item? How is itemInd different from its itemID? I assume the menuInd is always 0 for the first menu (or only in my case) menu on a page?
A: Yes, menuInd is the number of the menu on your page (in your casemenuInd=0).
itemInd is the number of the item in your menuItems, for example:
var tmenuItems =
[
["Home", "http://deluxe-tree.com", "icon1_t.gif", "icon1_to.gif","", "Home Page Tip","_blank"],//itemInd=0
["<img src='data_files/images/sep.gif' width=113 height=1>"],//itemInd=1
["+What's New<br><span id='letter'>This is pretty cool. I need to buy this deluxe menu</span>", "", "icon2_t.gif", "icon2_to.gif", "", "Product Info Tip"],//itemInd=2

Q: I was trying out the Vista samples and was able to change the sub-item font size but not the cascade menu javascript item(s) font size. Is this by design?
A: You should change font for the main items in the Individual Styles.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11pxTahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=data-vista-03.files/btn_magentablack.gif,data-vista-03.files/btn_magenta.gif"],
];
Try that.
Q: we want to be able to specify a certain height (or number of items) for the main menu after which a new column is created.
A: Unfortunately it is not possible to specify a number of items after which a new column is created.
But you can use blank items and create Individual Style for theseitems.
For example:
["| ","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ], //empty item
["|Item 42","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["| ","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ], //empty item
["|Item 44","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
