Q: If you take a look at the upper menu, I have "|" separating all of the various menu items. How can I do this with Deluxe Menu?
I don't want to resort to using messages and would like to use the "|" character if at all possible.
A: You can paste a separator.
Please, see the following parameters:
//------- Separators -------
//--- Separators
var separatorImage="";
var separatorWidth="5";
var separatorHeight="100%";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="images/public/separator.gif";
var separatorVWidth="3";
var separatorVHeight="100%";
var separatorPadding="";
You should set a separator in the menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","index.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
["-"],
["About Us","about.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
];
Q: I know I can fix the width of the entire (horizontal) menu. But is there a way to fix the width of each Item in the menu? I would like each Item to be the same width.
A: Please, try to specify units in "px", for example.
var menuWidth = "600px";
It's necessary to specify exact value for Mozilla browsers. It helpsto position menus correctly.
Try to set individual style for item width:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=120px"],
];
var menuItems = [
["Text1","", "data.files/products.gif", "data.files/products_mo.gif", "Products", "_self", "0", , , ],
["Text2","", "data.files/products.gif", "data.files/products_mo.gif", "Products", "_self", "0", , , ],
["Text3","", "data.files/products.gif", "data.files/products_mo.gif", "Products", "_self", "0", , , ],
["Text4","", "data.files/products.gif", "data.files/products_mo.gif", "Products", "_self", "0", , , ],
["Text5","", "data.files/products.gif", "data.files/products_mo.gif", "Products", "_self", "0", , , ],

Q: Is there anyway to embed particular fonts that I want to use with the javascript menu component?
A: See, for example you want to use HelveticaNeue Condensed font.
If there will be no HelveticaNeue Condensed font on the user machinethe font won't be shown correctly.
You can find another font similar to your font and write it through a comma.
You should choose the font among the following fonts:
Arial
Tahoma
Times New Roman
Trebuchet MS
Verdana
These fonts are installed on the most of windows computers.
Or you can create images with text and use it for the top items.
