When I create menus and test using expression web on explorer it works well but when published to web the dropdown menu appear but cannot be clicked on to be diverted to the relevant links. Also since loading the licensed version when using the test browser in expression web firefox a message appears as follows “firefox dosen’t know how to open this address, because the protocol (c) isn’t associated with any program”.

Q: How do I expand the length of the vista html drop menu tab images to accommodate longer text? If the text is "Special Event Programs", the arrows are outside the tab in another partial one. I am using the Vista style tabs (black_blue / tealblack).
Is there any way other than definition of new image files to get more color combos?
Can I change the text size in the menu tabs? When I use the Tuner, it has no effect.
A: Try to use image-based menu.
Set:
var menuWidth="92px";
var menuHeight="";
and create the following style:
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackImage=WANmenu.files/btn_magenta-back.gif,WANmenu.files/btn_magentablack-back.gif",
"beforeItemImage=WANmenu.files/btn_magenta-left.gif,WANmenu.files/btn_magentablack-left.gif","afterItemImage=WANmenu.files/btn_magenta-right.gif,WANmenu.files/btn_magentablack-right.gif","beforeItemImageW=10","afterItemImageW=10","beforeItemImageH=21","afterItemImageH=21",
"itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal11px Tahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF"],
];
Q: Is there any reason why I should have trouble positioning the windows popup menu?

Q: I just discovered your product and I think it is fabulous! I would like to buy it, but have one issue which is strange:
I have a list of 12 items, each with a submenu that is loaded using the ajax technology. The submenues are loaded correctly for the first 8 items, but not for the last 4 items. I can switch items around, always the first 8 only get loaded. Is there a limitation to 8 items?
A: No, there is no such limitation.
Please, check the following parameter:
var dmAJAXCount=0;
That variable set the maximal number of submenus that will be loadedfrom server on your page.
