Q: How do I add padding around a top item in the javascript menu buttons?
A: You should specify itemPadding parameter in "px".
You shouldadd "px" in your style for subitems:
var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=#F2F3F2","menuBorderWidth=0","itemSpacing=1","itemPadding=4px","smOrientation=undefined"],
];
Notice also that you can set multiple value for itemPadding parameter,for example:
itemPadding=4px 10px 4px 10px// top right bottom left
Q: We are trying to evaluate your software for use on our redesigned website.
Dhtml scrolling menu look great in Firefox but when we open the same page in IE it is ugly.

<DIV id=header><IMG hspace=0 src="menu_files/nmwaLogoTop.gif" align=left border=0> </DIV>
Delete align=left from the <IMG> tag:
<DIV id=header><IMG hspace=0 src="menu_files/nmwaLogoTop.gif" border=0> </DIV>
Q: Can you please write me, as I have the active menu button in the drop down menu software different color display?
A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
Q: I developed a little test dhtml menu slide tree. For the items "Aktivitaeten Auswahl" and "Kontakt Auswahl" I have no subitems. The item line shows a little button with double arrows.
I would like to get rid of these buttons, because there are no subitems.
How can I do that?
A: You should create Individual XP Style and apply it for these items.
var tXPStyles = [
["tXPTitleBackColor=#D9DAE2","tXPTitleBackImg=data-quelle.files/xptitle2_s.gif", "tXPExpandBtn=data-quelle.files/right.gif,data-quelle.files/right.gif,data-quelle.files/right.gif,data-quelle.files/right.gif"],
];
