Sorry, but my trials continue and I have a huge number of things to understand better. Strange enough, I cannot find all answers in the FAQ, or in this Forum.

First question: having bought a license in which form I deserve a Support? This is not completely clear to me: thru this Forum or I have other possible ways?

Second question: Making a trial menu in my site, for the very first time all lines are compressed and apparently I cannot (or I do not know how) define a Menu Size, or better, a cell size!

This is the first Menu I try without any sub-menu. In all other occasions everything run much better:

Hi Jumborex,

Let's see if we can help you

For your dimensions use overall menu size:
menuwidth= ;
menuheight= ;

you can also use these for the item sizes either as one style or inside the item where you want one to be different:
itemwidth= ;
itemheight= ;

You don't need "quotes" for numeric values only in pixels, only use quotes when you have alpha or other characters, and never use quotes within an a menu item string. aI(....)

the size of the text and padding should be taken into consideration, it will grow beyond the size given if it is larger.

padding in your global style can also be given like this:
padding="1 3 1 1";
that is top, right, bottom, left.

Let us know if you need more help.

Hi,
In addition to all that Maz gave you, keep in mind that your css style sheets can affect the menu, in particular generally defined a. links. In this case you have a.hover and a.active to have margin:-12px. The menu is assuming that value.

Right! This was the problem.

I didn't understand how important was to consider my css.
Thanks

But about the size how is it managed exactly?
For example, if I position the menu in the bottom, left part of the screen the menu appears bigger in rispect to the present position bottom, right!
Why this? If I do not use a dimensioning, why the dimension changes this way?

Try removing quotes " " where you only have a number in pixels.

followscroll=1;
separatorsize=1;

I'm not sure... I see </div> at the bottom of the page, is that wrapped around the menu?
