Q: When the html tab menu is initialized can you not have any selected tabs?
I do not want to select any tabs when the menu is initialized for some cases.

A: No, unfortunately it is not possible. Some top item should behighlighted.

But you can try to add separator in the beginning of the menu and set:
  var bselectedItem=0;
  var bseparatorWidth="0px";

  var bmenuItems = [
["-",],

Q: I have small problems with your javascript menu system.

#1. I am creating a multi-level menu, am I limited to a gird format or can every item have a variable column width?

#2. With submenus, I want to have the submenu be the same width as the parent cell, is there a simple command for this, or do I have to guess the column widths until it fits correctly?

#3. In those same submenus, I have items that are longer than the parent, is there a word wrap or a way to define a break, rather than having the scroll feature?


A: 1) You should use Individual Item Styles.
For example:
  var itemStyles = [
    ["itemWidth=120","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#ACF88B,#ACF88B","itemBorderColor=#329309,#329309"], //style0
    ["itemWidth=100","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBorderColor=#1B92E9,#1B92E9"], //style1
    ["itemWidth=130","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#FF9684,#FF9684","itemBorderColor=#EC7575,#EC7575"], //style2
    ["itemWidth=150","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#84F9FF,#84F9FF","itemBorderColor=#00B8C1,#00B8C1"], //style3
];
  var menuStyles = [
    ["smColumns=2"], //style0
];

    ["Home","testlink.htm"],
    ["Samples","testlink.htm"],
      ["|Group 1","", , , , , "0", , , ],
      ["|Group 2","", , , , , "1", , , ],
      ["|Group 3","", , , , , "2", , , ],

...
    [" More Samples","testlink.htm"],
      ["|Group 1","", , , , , "3", "0", , ],
      ["|Group 2","", , , , , "1", , , ],

Where "0", "1", "2", "3" - style number in itemStyles.

2) You can also use Individual Item Styles.

  var itemStyles = [
     ["itemWidth=120px"],
];
  var menuStyles = [
     ["smWidth=120px"],
];

    ["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , "0", , , ], // itemStyles
      ["|Features","testlink.html", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , "0", , ],
      ["|Installation","", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , , , ], // menuStyles

3) Try to set this parameter:

  var noWrap=0;


Q: You have a great, and very intuitive and easy to learn, product.

I'm down to two dumb questions:

A. What controls the little red arrows? I'd like them on every one of the navigators.
B. How do I create equal space between the drop down menu items? It looks weird right now.

A: 1) If your top item has a submenu this arrow will appear automatically.

For the items without submenus you may write:

["Home   <img src='skin_data.files/arrowmain11.gif'>","index.html", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["About Us   <img src='skin_data.files/arrowmain11.gif'>","about_us.html", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
You can find arrowmain11.gif image in the attached example.

Actually you can add any html code inside item's text.

2) Set the drop down menu padding:

  var itemPadding="3px 15px 3px 3px";
