Q: I am using deluxe-menu for the third time to create a school web site. It has worked fine on the previous two sites, but I am making a horizontal menu this time instead of a vertical menu. The menu won't align itself correctly in Firefox. I read the post in your FAQ and I set the align tag in the TD element and also the size attribute, but that didn't work.
Could you give me some suggestions. It looks fine ie IE, but not Firefox.

var menuWidth="800px";

Q: Thank you for your help, I have downloaded the updated link the .js files are there. I have been using the tuner and was wondering how to change the colors of the main menu bar. I have selected a template that we like (Vista 3, #5), but it isn't quite the right shade of green. I have figured out how to change the colors of all of the "sub" menus, but I don't see where to change the main menu bar. Is this possible, if so, where do I make the change(s)?
A: Top menu items in Vista styles use images as backgrounds. You cannotchange its color in Deluxe Tuner.
You should change the image color. You can do it in any Graph Editor,for example PhotoShop.
Q: I have menus generated by you deluxe menu package . They look fine on all my computer but look bad on my friends computer.
Can this be fixed?
A: Thanks for your interest in our products.
Try to specify all units in "px", for example:
var menuHeight="22px";
Try to set exact width for menu item
var menuWidth="736px";
Try also not to set
var smWidth="0";
var smHeight="0";
Please, see the attached data file.
You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Please, try to use these parameters.
