Q: Is there any way I can do the opposite and make the space my separators take up only a few pixels high? At present I can only make them the same height as the other buttons even though the separator image is only 2 pixels high.
A: You should set a separator in the menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","index.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
["-"],
["About Us","about.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
];
Please, see the following parameters:
//--- Separators
var separatorImage=""; //for subitems
var separatorWidth="100%";
var separatorHeight="3px";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="images/public/separator.gif"; //for the top items
var separatorVWidth="100%";
var separatorVHeight="2px";
var separatorPadding="";
Q: I'm wondering if you can use the Link Item of the Deluxe Menu to have ASP code, similar to yoru FAQ below, only replacing the Javascript with ASP?
Q: I want to use Javascript instead of usual links for menu items. How can I do that? A: To do that you should add a function word "javascript" in the URL field of an item, e.g.:
var menuItems = [
[text, "javascript:alert('Hello, world!')", icon1, icon2],
];
A: Thanks for your interest in our products.
You can use any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.
You can find the example with PHP here:

Q: Is there a tutorial on how to use css navigation bar
A: Unfortunately we don't have step by step tutorial yet.
We'll try to create it in the nearest time.
1. Create your Css menu in Deluxe Tuner.
When you open Deluxe Tuner you can click "File/New"and add items and subitems using buttons "Add Item" and "Add Subitem" onthe main window.
See the parameters for the menu on the main window.
More info about menu parameters you can find on our site
http://deluxe-menu.com/css-menu/parameters-info.html
You can also use Individual Styles for items and subitems
http://deluxe-menu.com/individual-item-styles-info.html
http://deluxe-menu.com/individual-submenu-styles-info.html
2. You should install the menu on your page.
You can click, for example, File->Save Css Menu/Export HTML
So, you'll have folder with images ("deluxe-css-menu.files/" folder by default),deluxe-css-menu.html file and deluxe-css-menu.js file with all menu parameters (project file you need, if you wantto modify your menu later).
Open deluxe-css-menu.html file in any text editor and copy several rows ofcode into your page (for example index.html page of your website).
Copy and paste several rows into your html page (index.html).
<head>
...
<style>
ul.cssMenu ul{display:none}
ul.cssMenu li:hover>ul{display:block}
ul.cssMenu ul{position: absolute;left:-1px;top:98%;}
ul.cssMenu ul ul{top:-2px; left:98%}
ul.cssMenu {
...
ul.cssMenum0 li li {
margin:0px;
}
</style>
...
</head>
You should also copy "deluxe-menu.files/" folder with all imagesinto the same folder with your index.html page.

Try that.
Q: I have just downloaded your trial version and am trying to use de-lux tuner using the windows xpstyle1 template. I can only seem to get the top java menu button showing as grey but can change colors of submenus OK. Am I missing something or is this a restriction of the trial system i.e. how do I get the top java menu button showing the same as submenu buttons.
A: Trial version has full functionality of the licensed version.
To change submenu colors you should change the following parameters:
var menuBackColor="#F2F3F2";
var itemBackColor=["#F2F3F2","#535353"];
and Individual Submenu Style:
var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=#F2F3F2","menuBorderWidth=0","itemSpacing=0","itemPadding=4px","smOrientation=undefined"],
];
For the top items you should change Individual Item style:
var itemStyles = [
["itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=#F2F3F2,#535353"],
];
