RE: independently setting menu widths

Hi Amelia,

I tried that method as a workaround in the V.3 of the menu.
It works well, but I found it difficult to get exact fits.
However, I've rebuilt it with the V.5 menu and use the itemwidth
parameter and get exact results. At least in IE.

Maybe it's of some use to you. Good luck

Regards,

Mark Sanders

Mark/Kevin,

For a work around for 3.x (that's the version I am currently using), how
about using non-breaking spaces to increase the width as in statement
below.
I use them for a few items in my main menu and it works well.  I'm using
the
menu horizontally...

Hi Mark,

I assume you mean in a horizontal main menu... unfortunately, you can't
control the width of each menu item in a horizonal menu in version 3.
The menu array's Width element (the 4th element in the array) specifies
the width of each item in the menu; there is no per-item setting.

What you want to do is, however, possible using version 5 of the menu,
now past beta testing and in release candidate 3.  There is a per-item
parameter called "itemwidth" that defines the width of each menu item.
You can download version 5 at the following URL:

Good luck,

Kevin

Is there any way to independently set the width of each of the main menu
items.
That is, I need some to be longer and some shorter.
I see that they set their widths dependent upon the text, but I actually
want to be able to set their widths so that overall the menu takes us a
predetermined amount of space. This is so it could fit nicely inside a
table cell.
 
Any help appreciated.
 
Regards, Mark
