Q: How woud I make all the sub-menu’s height and text smaller in the css dhtml menu?
A: You can create Individual Item Style and assign it to each item insubmenu.
For example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemHeight=10px","fontStyle=normal 9px Trebuchet MS, Tahoma"],
];
and assign it to each item in submenu:
["|Item 7","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Item 8","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
you can also use standard <br> tags.
["|Home text<br>text","testlink.htm", "default.files/icon1_s.gif", "default.files/icon1_so.gif", "", "Home Page Tip", "", "", "", ],
Q: Thank you for your quick service. Question for you, in the templates java expanding menu - Standard Tree Menu. There is an option to search by Index and also word query. When I bring the Template up I dont see this option on the sample menu. I'm I missing something or do I need to add it. If I need to add it can you explain to me how to do it.
A: You are able to paste any html code within java expanding menu items.
For example:
var tmenuItems = [
...
["<nobr><FORM method=GET action='http://www.google.com/custom'><input name='as_q' value='search
the web' size=15 style='font-size:10'> <INPUT type=hidden name=cof
value='LW:144;L:http://domain.edu/images/sulogo.gif;LH:45;AH:center;GL:0;S: http://domain.edu;AWFID:e01cb67b8afe383e;'></form></nobr>","", "images/icons/search.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],
You should write your own code within tmenuItem.

Q: Pls help me with another question.
I have an horizontal menu in which the submenus drop down (as in example # 1 you have in your web).
For the first level items (which are horizontal), I do not want item spacing or itemPadding, that is:
var itemSpacing=0;
var itemPadding=0;
However, for the second and third level menu items, that drop down, I do need spacing and padding, like this:
var itemSpacing=1;
var itemPadding=1;
How can achieve this if, we have only one set of parameters??
Thank you very much and best regards
A: You should use Individual Styles.
You should set the following parameters:
var itemSpacing = 0;
var itemPadding = 0;
and create individual style for submenus
var menuStyles = [
["menuBackImage=images/subm_back.gif","itemSpacing=1","itemPadding=1"], // add Spacing and Padding to the style which is used for the third level menu items.
["columnPerSubmenu=2"],
["itemSpacing=1","itemPadding=1"], //style 2
];
You should assign this style for the second and third level menu items
