Q: Everything is working quite well -- with the following exception:
I added a button.gif file to my item, hoping that the graphic would appear rather than just a colored cell. (Yes, I did upload the button.gif file to the .files folder.)
My work looks great in the preview window, but still shows the colored cells in my web page (www.misyssbm.com/buy/index.php left side menu). My text changes show up on the web page, so I know it was updated.
Any ideas (note I have two deluxe menus)?
A: You should check all your images paths.
You should also upload these files on your server in"side_menu.files/" folder.
I've tried to download "side_menu.files/btn_navy.gif" but I can't doit.
Please, check it.
Q: Deluxe menu v. 2 (the most recent version) -- I've triedeverything but cannot get the separator images (vertical orhorizontal) to appear. My other images appear fine, and I know theimages are where I've called them. I've tried root relative anddocument relative paths, and even set the advanced image prefixvariable, but they never appear. Can you spot what's wrong?
A related question: what I'm trying to do is to simply have a 1pxseparator between my main items (vertical) and between my sub-items(horizontal). Short of building a css mode menu, is this possibleusing your script -- if I set border=1 without any spacing, then thetwo borders between adjoining items come together and I get whatappears to be a 2px border separator. Is it possible to set margin-right=1, margin-bottom=1? This doesn't seem possible through thetuner: it appears to be border on all four sides or nothing.
A: You should see the following parameters:
//------- Separators -------
var separatorImage=""; //--- file exists in this location
var separatorWidth="5";
var separatorHeight="100%";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="/assets/images/public/separator.gif";
var separatorVWidth="3";
var separatorVHeight="100%";
var separatorPadding="";
You should set a separator in the menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","index.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
["-"],
["About Us","about.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
];
Q: I think I followed the instructions on FAQ to center my drop down menu js but it still will not center. Can you help?
A: You can use different colors for each item and subitem of the drop down menu js
You should use individual item styles.

Q: I have a question regarding your java dropdown menu. I am evaluating them in order to assess their functionality.
My menu will often have many items, say 100 or so. I would like them to display horizontally, like a grid so they are all visible on one page. Also, they should run alphabetically down each column, then to the next column like a telephone book, not across.
Is this possible with your java dropdown menu?
A: Yes, it's possible, please see an example:
