Q: I'm trying to set the frame parameters to frame name body. I have tried seven different text items: body, _body, frame name=body, framename=body, "framename=body", the relative URL, and the exact URL in the titemTarget parameter (common parameters). Nothing seems to work. It always sets the target to a new window. What text do I need to enter for the default parameter to be the body frame target?

Also, is there a way to expand only the menus and not the submenus? There doesn't seem to be a halfway point. Either all the menus are open, or all closed. If I set the default to hidden, it is non-functional. If I set it to expanded, that's not what I'm looking for either.

The menu looks good; other than these two problems it is functioning properly.


A: Please, check the following parameter:

  var titemTarget="framename";

You can also set item target for each item
 ["|Home","testlink.htm", "default.files/icon1_s.gif", "default.files/icon1_so.gif", "", "Home Page Tip", "framename", "", "", ],

Try that.

> Also, is there a way to expand only the menus and not the submenus?
You want to expand only the main items when you load your page?

If it is so you can set expanded items by default.

If you want to expand specific items by default you should set "+"symbol at the beginning of item text.

["+Deluxe Tree: XP Style","", "default.files/xpicon1_s.gif", "", "", "XP Title Tip", "", "0", "", ], // this item is expanded by default
 ["|Home","testlink.htm", "default.files/icon1_s.gif", "default.files/icon1_so.gif", "", "Home Page Tip", "framename", "", "", ],
 ["|Product Info","", "default.files/icon2_s.gif",
"default.files/icon2_so.gif", "", "Product Info Tip", "", "", "", ], // this subitem is not expanded by default


Q: My office-colleague gilles petremand just bought your "deluxe menu" and all-in-all it looks great!!!!

What we don't manage to do is to create a moving java menu sample based on.

Is this only possible with the "ms office toolbar-like mode" 'coz we'd like to use the image based menue template and change it to a moving one - POSSIBLE?!?

A: To create a movable or floatable menu you should set severalparameters in your data file only.

See more info here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/movable-menu-sample.html

//--- Movable Menu
  var movable=1;
  var moveWidth=12;
  var moveHeight=20;
  var moveColor="#AA0000";
  var moveImage="movepic2x20.gif";
  var moveCursor="move";
  var smMovable=1;
  var closeBtnW=13;
  var closeBtnH=16;
  var closeBtn="closebtn.gif";

Q: I need current page highlighted on javascripts tab menu.
what I do the change on data.js file.

A: Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab aslo.

You can set "bselectedItem" and "  var bselectedSmItem" parametersbased on your link before you call your data file.

For example, move "  var bselectedItem" and "  var bselectedSmItem" parametersfrom your data file to your code.

<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
  var bselectedItem=<?php echo $seltabs; ?>;
  var bselectedSmItem=<?php echo $selsmtabs; ?>;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>

You should define seltabs and selsmtabs using server side script.

You can also set it on every page before you call data.js file, forexample:

<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
  var bselectedItem=4;
  var bselectedSmItem=3;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
