Q: Is there a way to specify certian font styles escpecailly a hanging indent on the text of the javascript menu scroll?
A: You should use Individual styles, for example:
var itemStyles = [
["fontStyle=bold 12px Arial,Helvetica", "fontDecoration=none,underline"], // style 0
["fontStyle=normal 12px Arial,Helvetica", "fontDecoration=underline,underline"], // style 1
["fontStyle=normal 14px Arial,Helvetica", "fontDecoration=none,none"], // style 2
];
And assign styles to your items:
var menuItems = [
["1 Item","index.php","","","","_self","0",,,],
["2 Item","","","","","_self","1",,,],
["|Submenu Item","","","","","_self","2",,,],...

I want it to do this though:
["|'Slow Death Hook' Contest<br><br><br>Enter Your Favorite Fish Photos to Win!<br>Gary Parsons ","http://www.domain.com/site/featured_article.cfm?owner=AB18D298-0AC7-254E-B7248E9DCD0F9549 <br><br><img src="images/thumbnail.jpg">",,,,,"0"],
The problem is the "'s around the img src.....it's throwing off your animated drop down menu.
How do I fix that?
A: It is not correct to write menuItems in such way.
You should write:
["|'Slow Death Hook' Contest<br><br><br>Enter Your Favorite Fish Photos to Win!<br> Gary Parsons <br><br><img src='images/thumbnail.jpg'>","http://www.domain.com/site/featured_article.cfm?owner=AB18D298-0AC7-254E-B7248E9DCD0F9549",,,,,"0"],
Try that.
