Q: Is it possible to designate a different font style, for thedrop down links then for the main link in the asp drop down menu?
A: Yes it is possible. It will be better for you to use another font style for your top itemsusing Individual styles.
And change font styles for your submenus using the following parameters:
var fontStyle=["bold 10px Tahoma","bold 10px Tahoma"];
var fontColor=["#FFFFFF","#A4DBCB"];
Q: Using data-visa-5.js
Trying to get the menu to start collapsed rather than fully expanded.
Thought it was the var texpanded=0 setting but doesn't seem to have any effect.
A: See, when you set + sign before item's text that is mean that thisitem will be expanded.

Q: I have started with the deluxe - looks a little more confusing, but I will persist.
Just to confirm that this is right for me.
1) Will deluxe load quickly?.
2) Will it work with most browsers? Or will user need to download some sort of java file?
3) Can I use it with dreamweaver?
A: 1) Deluxe Menu generally loads faster than other page elements.
It is possible that the speed of showing the menu can be lower if the menu is very large. But it doesn't take so much time.
2) Deluxe Menu works fine in most of browsers on Windows OS, MAC OS, Linux/Unix OS.
More info you can find here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/browsers-info.html
You don't have to install additional software.
Your customer should change security settings in IE to allow Javascript on pages he loads.
When your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript onpages you load you can't see a dynamic page content.
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.
3) Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension,BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files. To install the menuinto your html page:
1. open the page in Dreamweaver/Frontpage
2. open html source code of the page
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:
http://deluxe-menu.com/installation-info.html
That's all.
To create and configure your menus use Deluxe Tuner application(included into the trial package):

Q: first - the deluxe menu is a nice tool, greatly.
but I have 2 little problems:
- I'll display the item direct side by side without distance, I can't found the parameter
- I wish the actual site (dhtml vertical menu item) in another colour
A: > - I'll display the item direct side by side without distance, i cant found the parameter
Check that you have correct
var menuWidth="";
parameter.
You can send us a copy of your html page (including .js files) ora direct link to your website, so we can check it.
> - I wish the actual site (menu item) in another colour
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
];
var menuItems = [
["Item 1","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
["|Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Item 4","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 5","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
["|Item 7","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Item 8","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 6","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
];
