Header/Seperator

I know how to create a header. I want to use a header with no text in it, but I do not want the header to be the same height as the other menu items. I just want to use it as a visual seperator from other menu items.

aI("text= align=center;type=header;");

Can I control the height of the header??

I'll assume this is vertical, have you tried itemheight and fontsize in the item?

Don't forget, Bob, that   is a valid character, and will have the default applied to it if nothing else is there to override it.

Another possibility is removing it - just text=; .

Thanks, Maz & John.

I used "itemheight" and eliminated &nbsp. I can now control the item height.

Is there a way to just control the color for this pseudo header/separator bar entry, rather than taking on the color for headerbgcolor as defined in the menu style??

aI("text=;type=header;itemheight=2;");

Yes, headerbgcolor is both a global and item property, so you can specify it in the item. The same is true of headercolor, though without text you dont need that.
This would allow the globally defined headerbgcolor to apply to other headers and this one to have whatever you specify in that item.
