Q: I have set the 'Home' page link from the top level of the menu 'Item style' top Item, to link to my Index page, but the link doesn't work. Is there a special way to set linksfrom the main menu headings?

A: You cannot use links for the main items in the XP style.

But you can try to do the following things for your "Home" item:

["<a href='index.html' class='home'>Home</a>","", "", "", "", "Return to Index page", "", "0", "", ],

And create styles
.home{
color: #FFFFFF;}
.home:hover{
color: #FFBEBE;}




Q: I cannot get the separator image to display in my dhtml right click menu. Is there a setting I am missing? I want to separate the main menu items with an image.

A: To add a separator you should

//--- Separators
  var separatorImage=""; //for subitems (top items in vertical dhtml right click menu)
  var separatorWidth="100%";
  var separatorHeight="3px";
  var separatorAlignment="right";
  var separatorVImage="separator.gif"; //for the top items (subitems items in vertical menu)
  var separatorVWidth="100%";
  var separatorVHeight="2px";
  var separatorPadding="";

You can create separators using menuItems (you can do it in DeluxeTuner, use "Add separator" button), for example:

  var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],
];
