Q: I'm trying out your cool dropdown menu code.
I'm trying to rebuild my menu like this one
http://deluxe-menu.com/data-templates/vista-style-3-03-template-sample.html
I have a problem. In my case, I have some really long labels and some short ones. In some cases my text is larger than the button (see attachment). In your example all the buttons have the same width. Is it possible to have a Vista styled menu with different width for the buttons?
A: See images in Vista Templates have the fixed width and height (92 x 21).
If you want to change items' width/height you should change images.
btn_cyan.gif
btn_cyan2.gif
You can do it in any graph editor, for example in Adobe PhotoShop.
You should also change items width in your Individual Item Style.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11pxTahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=btn_cyan.gif,btn_cyan2.gif"],
];
You can do it in Deluxe Tuner.
Q: Can I just ask what the maximum KB size should be for a Data.js file for a webpage?
At the moment Vehicle_data_2.js is 24.7KB and growing as I add more data, what would you recommend as the largest size to sensibly use?
A: 24.7KB is the normal size of the file. But if you think that it isvery large you can try to use AJAX-technology to divide this file.

Q: I would like to buy the OEM license with the sources.
But for redistribution I would like to use the obfuscated scripts.
Do I get both type of menu & javascript when buying the OEM license of 499 dollar?

Q: We dont want to change the Target, Target will be always _self, but sometime the user would like to open links of easy drop down menu in a new window.
We just wnat to know if posible to do it.
A: I think that it is not possible to create such menu using Pop up menu.
But you can try to write your menuItems in the following way:
["|<a href='http://deluxe-menu.com/parameters-info.html'>Parameters Info</a>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Right click on the "Product Info/Parameters Info" item.
But you should create correct style for <a> tag.
