Q: Hi- I'm having a problem with a really wide horizontal code drop down menu. Rather than have it be so wide (due to the large number of items in it) we want it to wrap into a new row underneath the top so a visitor to the site doesn't have to use the scroll bar to scroll to the right to see the whole menu.
A: You can use multicolumn feature of Deluxe Menu, see example
http://deluxe-menu.com/multicolumn-menu-sample.html
or
Smart Scrolling

Q: Is there a way to hide a javascript top menu options using either CSS or the java api based on the site user?
(I use ColdFusion for scripting)
A: Deluxe Menu supports Javascript API.
You can find more info here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/dynamic-functions-sample.html
You can try to use API functions in that case:
function dm_ext_changeItemVisibility (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, visibility)
To disable items you should set the target parameter to "_".
You can try to use the following function
function disable() {
dm_ext_changeItem(0, 1, 1, ["", "", "", "", "", "_"]);
}
to disable your items.

You can also set
var tsaveState = 1;
More info you can find

To expand specific items you should use API function
function dtreet_ext_expandItem (itemID, expand)
