Q: I'm trying to get the dhtml tab menu aligned to the right. Can you make a suggestion on how I can do this?
A: Try to install your tabs into the table with right alignment, for example:
<table width='100%'>
<tr>
<td align="right">
<script type="text/javascript" src="test_files/tdata.js"></script>
</td>
</tr>
</table >
Q: However, I did not see how you get the content of link value of the tab to display below horizontal tabs.
A: See in Deluxe Tabs there are two modes:
1. var tabMode=0;
You can create only one level of tabs and assign Object Id's of the
DIV's to show when you click on the tab.
["XP Tab 1","content1", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 2","content2", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 3","content3", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 4","content4", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
2. var tabMode=1;
You can assign only links in this mode.
You should create top level items with subitems.
["XP Tab 1","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Link 1_1","http://deluxe-tabs.com", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 1_2","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 1_3","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 1_4","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 1_5","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 2","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Link 2_1","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 2_2","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 2_3","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 2_4","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 2_5","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 3","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Link 3_1","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 3_2","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 3_3","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 3_4","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 3_5","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
You can use Object ID as well as Link in both modes. Use the following prefixes within item's link field:
"object:" - means that there is object id after it;
"link:" - means that there is a link after it.
"javascript:" - means that there is a javascript code after it, for example:javascript:alert(\'Hello!\')
So, you should write for example:
["|Link 1_1","object:Content1_1", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
Q: I am having a lot of trouble trying to get the menu to work properly. I want to make sure that I get it working before I make the licesning purchase.
The menu is to be CSS based but while I have the main menu somewhat in location, none of the settings are correct. Can you help?
A: See, the problem is that the script can't get css properties of the object if they are described in separate .css block (or file).
To get the value you should move .css style into style="POSITION: relative;" attribute.
Please, try to add your
css file -> inline css
Try to write so:
<DIV id=if-navbar style="POSITION: relative;">
Q: We are facing some problem, in our css drop menu. Please Advise -
When we used "Helvetica" font in deluxe menu, the css drop menu expand, if the above font not installed in user machine.
I would please request you to kindly assist me on the same as the client is getting impatient.
A: It is normal behaviour if there is no such font on the user machine.
You can try to write fonts in the following way:
"fontStyle='bold 12px HelveticaNeue Condensed, Trebuchet MS','bold 12px HelveticaNeue Condensed, Trebuchet MS'"
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackImage=top.files/,top.files/menuhoverbg.gif","fontStyle='bold 12px HelveticaNeue Condensed, Trebuchet MS','bold 12px HelveticaNeue Condensed, , Trebuchet MS'","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF"],
["itemBackColor=#504B48,#7E7666","fontStyle='bold 12px HelveticaNeue Condensed, Trebuchet MS','bold 12px HelveticaNeue Condensed, Trebuchet MS'","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#ffffff"],
];
Find another font similar to your font and write it through a comma.If there will be no HelveticaNeue Condensed font on the user machinethe font will be Trebuchet MS.
You should choose the second font among the following fonts:
Arial
Tahoma
Times New Roman
Trebuchet MS
Verdana
These fonts are installed on the most of windows computers.
