HierMenus 5.2.1 - horiz items spacing problems

[timware]

I have the dropdown menu set to horizontal. In order to have variable widths for each item in a dropdown,

I set the

top_is_variable_width to "1"

I set the menu width to "," (no value)

The problem is I can't figure out how to set some spacing between individual items in the horizontal nav. It's too tight/crowded. I'm sure there's a way. So, um, what is it?

I've tried setting "ItemPadding" in the HM_Loader.js file, but it puts padding above & below as well, and I just want space between these horizontal items.

Thanks.

PS: I just tried adding   in the Arrays link description and this provides the control I need. Maybe this is the way to do it.

That's the best way, yes. You can use basic HTML within your menu item descriptions, so you might also play with style assignments; i.e., wrapping your description in a div and using normal CSS settings to adjust the display. Just be careful about cross-browser compatibility; HM does not try to iron out any differences within the HTML you provide in the link descriptions, it just passes it straight through to the menu items themselves.

Cheers!
