Try that.
Q: How do I create more space between the menu items?
I have tried adding to the Item Appearance, itemSpacing and itemPadding.
A: You can paste the separator.
Please, see the following parameters:
//------- Separators -------
var separatorWidth = "10";
var separatorHeight = "20";
var separatorAlignment = "center";
var separatorImage = "C";
var separatorVWidth = "150";
var separatorVHeight = "10%";
var separatorVImage = "image.jpg";
You can create separators using menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],
];
You can also use this parameter:
var itemPadding = "4px";
You can also set multiple values, for example:
var itemPadding = "2px 15px 5px 5px";
(top, right, bottom, left)
Q: We recently bought your product.
We are developing in ASP.NET (VB) and we have a problem making you deluxe menu dynamic to suit our needs. We are using the Deluxe Menu.
The problem is each time a page with dhtml nav loads, we want to be able to generate the menuItems variable to reflect the options the individual user has, so it can't be hard coded into data.js it MUST be provided by an aspx file and attached somehow. I can't work out how to attach the variable (even a static one) as a separate file, so if you can do it with a static one, we can extend it to a dynamic one later.
For example the JS in the data.js file we want the MenuItem dimension you be loaded in a seperate file, some kind of include.
var menuItems = [
["Home","index.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["About","about.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Contact","contact.aspx", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],

Hope this makes sense.
A: You can move
var menuItems = [
...
];
dm_init();
dhtml nav code from your data file to your page (template) directly:
<script>
var menuItems = [
...
];
dm_init();
</script>
Q: We'd like to underline dhtml pop up menu items on hover but we can't do it with those spaces.
A: To set align for the one dhtml pop up menu item only you can use the following method:
instead of
["email a temp expert ","email.html", "", "", "", "", "15", "", "", "", "", ],
you can write:
["<div align=left>email a temp expert</div>","email.html", "", "", "", "", "15", "", "", "", "", ],
and set fontDecoration=none,underline style for this item:
["itemWidth=248px","itemHeight=41px","itemBackImage=dd-data.files/emailatemp.JPG,dd-data.files/emailatemp.JPG","fontStyle='bold 11px Arial',''","fontColor=#005D8C,#002030","fontDecoration=none,underline"],
