Q: Hello, I’ve set my menus up so that they are positioned on my page within a container div (not using the positioning built into the menu script).
I am also trying to use the autoscroll feature as some of the submenus are quite long. The autoscroll doesn’t seem to work with the css positioning though.
I also tried to size the submenus to force them small and thus to scroll with no luck.
The scrolling works fine when I pull the menus out of the container div and just place them in the flow of the page.
Am I doing something wrong or are these two features incompatible with each other.
A: Unfortunately, it is really so. Submenu scrolling doesn't work with css. We'll try to fix it in the future versions.
You can try to use multicolomn submenus.

Q: Is there a way to center floatable menus horizontally on a page?
I used to use absolutePos=0, and all of my menus were centered ok, but when I tried floatable=1 I found that I had to change toabsolutePos=1 to get the menu to float, and this messed up my centering. Since I have multiple menus of different widths, I'd rather not have to hard-code the menu width, but please let me know if there's a better way.
A: Notice, when you use floatable menu you can't use relative menu position.
So, if you use
var absolutePos = 0;
and to center the menu you use <p> or <div> with the center alignment your menu won't float.
To center your floatable menu you should set absolute coordinates.
Q: How can I get an image to be a separator in between items on my css vertical drop down menu?
A: To add a separator you should
//--- Separators
var separatorImage=""; //for subitems (top items in vertical menu)
var separatorWidth="100%";
var separatorHeight="3px";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="separator.gif"; //for the top items (subitems items in vertical menu)
var separatorVWidth="100%";
var separatorVHeight="2px";
var separatorPadding="";
You can create separators using menuItems (you can do it in DeluxeTuner, use "Add separator" button), for example:
var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],
];
Q: My slide drop down menu appears at the top of the page rather than in the cell in which I placed it
A: You're using absolute position for the menu now:
var absolutePos=1;
You should use the relative position:
var absolutePos=0;
