Q: The only problem I see is that Firefox doesn't make the sub-menus the right height, and doesn't support the dropshadow, any window effect, although IE6 works fine.
Is there a way to get FF to display correctly?
A: You can't see the shadow in Firefox because filters are supported byInternet Explorer 5+ only.

Try to specify units in "px".
Please, write so:
var itemPadding="3px";
Q: I can’t seem to figure out how to specify the width of individual items in the website drop down menu.
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:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=113px"]
];
var menuItems = [
["text 1", "link", "icon1", "icon2", "tip", "target", "0"],
["text 2", "link", "icon1", "icon2", "tip", "target", "0"],
["text 3", "link", "icon1", "icon2", "tip", "target", "0"],
];
Where "0" - style number in itemStyles that contains the parametersfor items width.
Use Deluxe Tuner GUI to create and assign individual styles.
Q: One other question, how do you get the menu bar to highlight and stay on the page you are viewing rather than highlighting home the whole time.
A: You should set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
