Q: I can't seem to figure out how to specify the width of individual javascript pulldown menu items. I would like to specify that each menu item on the horizontal take up just 113px regardless of the number of characters in the item. Is there a way of doing that?
A: You should use var itemStyles to set an individual item style. Forexample:
//--- Separators var separatorImage=""; //for subitems var separatorWidth="100%"; var separatorHeight="3px"; var separatorAlignment="right"; var separatorVImage="images/public/separator.gif"; //for the top items var separatorVWidth="100%"; var separatorVHeight="2px"; var separatorPadding="";
