Q: Is it possible to set the width for each individual tab in the html tab menu instead of having them size dynamically based on the tab name?
A: You can create Individual Items Style and assign it to your tabs.
var bstyles = [
["bitemWidth=100px"],
];
var bmenuItems = [
["Item 1","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 4","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 5","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
];
Q: Can you provide an example of how to dynamically change the menu items at runtime for the dropdown menus?
(asp is fine, but if it needs to javascript that is also ok)
A: 1) You can use API functions to affect items dynamically:
http://deluxe-menu.com/functions-info.html
2)Generate your menu items dynamically from database.
Unfortunately we don't have working example with ASP.
You may generate a menu from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.
However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files, so,
you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2008, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
var parameter1=value1;
var parameter2=value2;
etc.
var menuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];
</script>
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:

Q: Is using this method this method (generate engine friendly code) the same as using normal html menus as far as spiders are concerned?
A: Yes, it is.
You will have such code:
<!-- Code for Deluxe Menu Items. Generated by Deluxe Tuner -->
<div id="dmlinks" style="font:normal 11px Trebuchet MS, Tahoma;color:#000000;text-decoration:none">
<a id="dmI0" href="testlink.html">Home</a>
<a id="dmI2" href="testlink.html">Features</a>

Q: I updated the files you talked about. I can see the javascript cascading menu on most computers, but not all. I am sorry to ask the same question over but my problem is persisting with some computers.
A: It is not correctly to add # symbol before the top item. This itemwill be hidden.

Now you have:
["#FCLWD-SFCSD Home","http://www.fclwd.com/", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", ],
You should write:
["FCLWD-SFCSD Home","http://www.fclwd.com/", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", ],
