Q: Thank you for your prompt reply. But i was wondering where should I paste this code? Can you please explain the working of the javascript toolbar menu function
dm_ext_changeItemVisibility (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, visibility)
I have 5 items in the javascript toolbar menu : Admin Options, Status Report, Remarks, Edit Profile, Data Entry.
I want to disable some fields for different users.
I have 3 role id's set in my database.
I want certain fields disabled for different users.
For eg : For Roleid =1 , i.e admin , I want all items to be visible.
For Roleid =2 , i dont want the Admin Options to be visible.
For Roleid=3 , I dont want Admin Options & Status reports.
Can you please elaborate on the working of the changeItemVisibility function. I was confused as there were no examples to demonstrate the code.

I went to your sample page and I would like to add the item widths into mydata.js file, but each item is a different width. Would it be correct for meto do this?...
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=98px"],
];
Or will I have to make all the main menu items/graphics the same width?
A: You don't have to change your dmenu_add.js file.
Please, place this file in the folder where your menu iscreated in.

You should write, for example, so:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=98px"], // style 0
["itemWidth=100px"], // style 1
["itemWidth=110px"], // style 2
["itemWidth=120px"], // style 3
["itemWidth=95px"], // style 4
];
var menuItems = [
["","", "data.files/products.gif", "data.files/products_mo.gif", "Products", "_self","0" , , , ],
["","", "data.files/demoCenter.gif", "data.files/demoCenter_mo.gif", , ,"1", , , ],
