Q: I have a question regarding your java dropdown menu. I am evaluating them in order to assess their functionality.
My menu will often have many items, say 100 or so. I would like them to display horizontally, like a grid so they are all visible on one page. Also, they should run alphabetically down each column, then to the next column like a telephone book, not across.
Is this possible with your java dropdown menu?
A: Yes, it's possible, please see an example:

Q: I downloaded "DeLuxe Menu" and try to make a menu dynamic. I was having the impression, that every item could have it's own color. But nowhere in de program could I find how this had to be done. Every time I changed the color, weather it was under Appearance or Item Appearance, the color of the whole menu was changed.
Before I decide to buy your product, I need to know if separate coloring for the menu dynamic is possible.
A: You can create Individual Item style and assign it for the top items,for example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#8080FF,#FFFF80","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid", "itemBorderColor=#000080,#FF8000","showByClick=0"],//style0
["itemBackColor=##FFFFF,#000000","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid", "itemBorderColor=##AA0000,#0000EE","showByClick=0"],//style1
];
var menuItems = [
["Item 1","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", "", "", ], //style1
["|Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Item 4","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 5","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
["|Item 7","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Item 8","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 6","", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", "", "", ], //style1
];
Q: For some reason all of the menu items are squished together when I put the js code in my page.
Is my site's CSS overriding the ones set in the menu css? If so how do I get around this?
A: See, the problem is that the script can't get css properties of the object if they are described in separate .css block (or file).
To get the value you should move .css style into style="" attribute.
Please, try to add your
css file -> inline css
Q: I have tested and tested but can't find out how I can add the following, as a link in drop down navigation bar. Can you please help?
http://domain.no/secure/modules/tutorials/cpanel-x3/cpanel-x3-addon.swf" rel="shadowbox;height=450;width=780"
A: You should add <a> tag into the text field in that case:
["<a href="http://domain.no/secure/modules/tutorials/cpanel-x3/cpanel-x3-addon.swf" rel="shadowbox;height=450;width=780">test</a>","",""]
But you should specify a styles for this link also.
