Q: I'm trying to disable a javascript mouse over menu item using the MS Office style 2 template and having no luck. Can you please provide me a sample of the MS Office style 2 template that will disable an item on the menu by graying it out?

A: To disable menu item you should set "_" target for it.
If you want that your disabled items have a grey color (in css-basedmenu) you should create additional style for it and assign this stylefor the disabled items:
["CSSText=toptext_dis,toptext_dis"],

.toptext_dis
{
font: normal 11px Tahoma, Arial;
color: #AAAAAA;
padding: 3px;
}

Q: I can't seem to figure out how to specify the width of individual javascript pulldown menu items. I would like to specify that each menu item on the horizontal take up just 113px regardless of the number of characters in the item. Is there a way of doing that?

A: You should use   var itemStyles to set an individual item style. Forexample:

  var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=113px"]
];

  var menuItems = [
["text 1", "link", "icon1", "icon2", "tip", "target", "0"],
["text 2", "link", "icon1", "icon2", "tip", "target", "0"],
["text 3", "link", "icon1", "icon2", "tip", "target", "0"],
];

Where "0" - style number in itemStyles that contains the parametersfor items width.

Use Deluxe Tuner GUI to create and assign individual styles.

----------------------------------
There is the error in the data file. The menu won't be loaded correctly.

Line: 361
Char: 3
Code: 0
Message:']' f=F6rv=E4ntas
----------------------------------

A: You have errors in your data file now. It is not correctly to writeitems in the following way:

   ["||10"","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
   ["||11"","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],

You should write:

   ["||10","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
