Hi there,

I saw a web site using the following code to assign parameters for a 
dynamic menu. If I want to do it using the variables. (for example: 
menuwidth = 150; FontFamily  = "Arial";...) How can I make the same 
function as this code? I tried several way, but failed at last.

Thanks for your help!
Wendy
