"Tools/Internet Options/Security/"
click "Custom level..." button and enable "Allow status bar updates viascript" in "Scripting" column (almost at the end of the list).

["itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","itemBorderWidth=0","fontColor=#000000,#000000"],
];
var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=transparent","menuBorderWidth=0"],
];

http://deluxe-menu.com/individual-submenu-styles-info.htmlQ: Do you have an extremely simple example of modifying a dynamic drop down menus with the JavaScript API? I've played with the example on the site, but I have trouble removing the other menus without breaking it.
I just want to use the API to change the icon on the menu items.
A: You should use the following function:
function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
<script language="javascript" >
dm_ext_changeItem(0, 0, 1, ["", "", "new_icon.gif", "new_icon_o.gif", "",,""]);
