Using V5 RC4

Using a black background with yellow text and a red highlight, the first item in a main menu defaults to the color black effectively making it invisible on a black background.

under MacOS X 10.2.6/IE 5.2.2, the (white) border around the menu does not quite follow the menu location when set to follow scroll. The whole thing will move into position and then the border on its own will move by about 20 pixels.

I have provided my code below...

Hmmmm...It turns out that the problem line is...

[code]aI("text=Home;url=default.html");[/code]

If I am on the page that the url parameter specifies, then the menu item disappears. I can't find a menu item property that will let these always stay on.
