Q: How do I expand the length of the vista html drop menu tab images to accommodate longer text? If the text is "Special Event Programs", the arrows are outside the tab in another partial one. I am using the Vista style tabs (black_blue / tealblack).
Is there any way other than definition of new image files to get more color combos?
Can I change the text size in the menu tabs? When I use the Tuner, it has no effect.

["itemBackImage=WANmenu.files/btn_magenta-back.gif,WANmenu.files/btn_magentablack-back.gif",
"beforeItemImage=WANmenu.files/btn_magenta-left.gif,WANmenu.files/btn_magentablack-left.gif","afterItemImage=WANmenu.files/btn_magenta-right.gif,WANmenu.files/btn_magentablack-right.gif","beforeItemImageW=10","afterItemImageW=10","beforeItemImageH=21","afterItemImageH=21",

Q: I want to use my own function within menuItems in the drop down menu button.
A: You can use Javascript instead standard links. For example:
var menuItems = [
["text", "javascript:launchWin('popups/popup_member_browser.cfm','css_MemberBrowser',600,720,0,0,0)"]
];
Q: I am trying out your menu and I've made out a little test case in the attached file.
If you run it, you will see that the horizontal drop down menu css scrollsOUTSIDE the container div to the edges of the window. Is there anyway I can make the hhorizontal drop down menu css be within the container div and yet scroll?
And will the solution be cross-browser?
Note that menuDiv needs to have a collapsableDiv style. I am assuming that that is not a problem.
A: Try to set exact width for the submenu:
var smWidth="925px";
Q: I would like to ask on how can I make the dhtml dropdown menu shadow work in mozilla and in safari?
