Q: We have several problems with your menu.
Notice when trying to select a drop down item…the item disappears, rather than holding in place as the mouse is over the menu item.
Second, we’d like to know how to expand the width of the main headers and sub headers. Currently, they are not of the same width.
Lastly, we’d like to change the font and load new fonts to match the branding of the menu items.
Please let us know where we can find instructions to make these modifications/customizations.
A: Please, try to write your menuItems parameter correctly.
You should set "iconOver" parameter for each item (you can set "").
Please, see how you should write your menuItems:
["","index.php","nav_home_out.gif","nav_home_over.gif","","_self","0",,,],
["","","nav_experience_out.gif","nav_experience_over.gif","","_self","0",,,],
["|Contestants","experience_contestants.php","","","_self","2",,,],

You should use Individual styles, for example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=120px","arrowImageMain=image1,image2=home_out.gif,home_over.gif"], // style 0
["itemBorderWidth=2","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid", "itemBorderColor=#AA0000,#0000FF"], // style 1
["fontStyle=bold 12px Arial,Helvetica", "fontDecoration=none,underline"], // style 2
];
var menuItems = [
["","index.php","nav_home_out.gif","nav_home_over.gif","","_self","0",,,],
["","","nav_experience_out.gif","nav_experience_over.gif","","_self","0",,,],
...
For submenus you should set the following parameter:
var smWidth="150px";

You should also use Individual styles.
But you should set this parameter:
var fontStyle="";
And then use different fonts for your items.
Q: We are having a bit of trouble with your menu, when you go down into a sub menu, and then back to the item that called it, the sub menu expands.
For example, if i have this menu structure
File
New
Save
Exit
When i MouseOver New and then MouseOver File, the menu containing New, Save and Exit will grow. If i keep doing this then the menu will continue to expand horizontally.
I know its something we have done, since there doesn't seem to be a problem on your site, its just i don't know what it is
A: Rozi, we heard about such problems. I suppose that you see such effectin IE.
Please, try not to use shadow in the menu.
Please, set this parameter:
var shadowLen=0;
We'll correct this bug soon.
Try also write all units in "px", for example:
var itemPadding = "3px";
Q: The menu maps to the width size of the longest menu item on the list, can you tell me how I can restrict this, and have a fixed menu size.
A: Unfortunately it is really so.
You can try to wrap your text.
You should set the following parameter:
var noWrap = 0;
or use <br> tags within menuItems.
Q: How can I declare the "delay" time for the opening js popup window?
A: You should set the following parameter:
openAfter:20,
Open after time (secs).
