Q: How can I vary the width of the individual items on the main bar for the javascript menu?
A: You can use Individual Styles to set the width for the menu items.Please, use Deluxe Tuner to create your individual styles.
You should write for example so:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=98px"], // style 0
["itemWidth=100px"], // style 1
["itemWidth=110px"], // style 2
["itemWidth=120px"], // style 3
["itemWidth=95px"], // style 4
];
var menuItems = [

Q: Thanks for getting back with me but how do you build the menu?
I opened Deluxe Tuner program to build a menu and there are categories titled common, dimensions, font, appearance etc. and I have NO IDEA what to do?
Can you walk me through the development of a menu?
A: First of all you should add items.
Please, click "Add item" and "Add subitem".
In the "Item parameters" window you can set text, link, target, iconsfor the menu items. You can also assign different style for each menuitem (item style and submenu style).
But at first you should create this style. Click "Edit IndividualStyle/Add Style" and set different parameters for the style.
Try to set different parameters of the menu.
In the "Preview window" you can see all your changes.
First of all you should choose menu orientation:
var isHorizontal = 1; Menu orientation: 0 - vertical, 1 - horizontal.
You can set exact width and height of the menu in the "Dimension"category.
You should set
var absolutePos=1;
if you want to have absolute positioning menu.
Font style you can set in the "Font" category.
To set color of the menu you should set the following parameters:
var menuBackColor="#FCEEB0";
var menuBorderColor="#C0AF62";
var itemBackColor=["#FCEEB0","#65BDDC"];
var itemBorderColor=["#FCEEB0","#4C99AB"];
Try also to change these parameters:
var itemSpacing=3;
var itemPadding="3px";
Arrows for main items and subitems you can set here:
var arrowImageMain=["default.files/arrowmain.gif","default.files/arrowmaino.gif"];
var arrowImageSub=["default.files/arrowsub.gif","default.files/arrowsubo.gif"];
If want to have floatable or movable menu you should set the followingparameters:
var floatable=0;
var movable=0;
You can also try to change any template.

</OBJECT></a>Q: One other issue I'm having is that the content for the menu bar in java "selected tab" on my site does not show up in IE7. Works fine in firefox, though. Any ideas about that?
A: Try to delete height: 0%; parameter from the styles:
<div id="content1" style="height: 0%; visibility: hidden;" class="tabPage">
So you'll have:
<div id="content1" style="visibility: hidden;" class="tabPage">
