Q: I'm just trying to get those little vertical spacers between menu items in the drop down menu.How can I do it with Deluxe Menu.
A: Please, see the following parameters of the menu:
//------- Separators -------
  var separatorWidth = "10"; 
  var separatorHeight = "20"; 
  var separatorAlignment = "center"; 
  var separatorImage = "C"; 
  var separatorVWidth = "20";
  var separatorVHeight = "10%"; 
  var separatorVImage = "image.jpg";
You can create separators between items in the drop down menu using menuItems, for example:
  var menuItems = [ 
 ["item 1"], 
 ["-"], // this item is separator
 ["item 2"],  ["|item 3"], 
  ["|-"], // this subitem is separator 
  ["|item 4"],
]; 
Q: I need a menu system where on the click of certain items, server side code on the page can be called and executed. Can that be done using deluxe menu?
A:  You can use your own Javascript code instead standard links. For example:
   var menuItems = [
 ["text", "javascript:your_code_here"]
 ];
Q: I am using Deluxe Menu and I had a question.
 When you roll your mouse over the menu items, the background color of that menu item changes (it becomes darker). Is there a way to establish a setting such that when a Menu Item is CLICKED, the color of that Menu Item STAYS darker. This will help the user know which category of the website they are currently visiting. 
 Please let me know. Thanks!
 
A:  The menu has only two states normal and mouseover. We'll try to add the pressed state in the future. 
You can set a pressed item using Javascript API: 
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion) 
Sets a current pressed item. 
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0. 
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0. 
itemInd - index of an item, >=0. 
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items. 
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem. 
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
Q: If I wanted to change the graphics at a later date in tab menu javascript (main top tabs, subtabs, etc.), how would I do that?
 
A: In that case you should open images I'm using for top tabs in any graph editor and changethem.
back.gif
back_o.gif //back images for normal and hover states for the last tabs in the top menu(instead of the 1-st 6 items)
sep_top.gif // separator for the top items
top1.gif
top1_o.gif //back images for normal and hover states for the 1-st tab, you can change thetext of this tab in deluxe-menu.js:
 ["<font color='#FFF90E'>MAIN</font><br>Initiative<br>(Strategy)","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "5", "4", "", "", "", ],
By the way to apply hint for this item you should write:
 ["<font color='#FFF90E'>MAIN</font><br>Initiative<br>(Strategy)","testlink.html", "", "", "This hint appears when you hover over the 1-st item", "", "5", "4", "", "", "", ],
top2.gif
top2_o.gif //back images for normal and hover states for the 2-nd tab, you can change thetext of this tab in deluxe-menu.js:
 ["<font color='#FFF90E'>PAIN</font><br>Identified<br>(Problems)","", "", "", "", "", "6", "", "", "", "", ],
and so on...
For the subtabs I'm use images for arrows only:
  var arrowWidthSub=8;
  var arrowHeightSub=8;
  var arrowImageSub=["deluxe-menu.files/arrow.gif","deluxe-menu.files/arrow_o.gif"]
