Q: You have a great, and very intuitive and easy to learn, product.
I'm down to two dumb questions:
A. What controls the little red arrows? I'd like them on every one of the navigators.
B. How do I create equal space between the drop down menu items? It looks weird right now.
A: 1) If your top item has a submenu this arrow will appear automatically.
For the items without submenus you may write:
["Home <img src='skin_data.files/arrowmain11.gif'>","index.html", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["About Us <img src='skin_data.files/arrowmain11.gif'>","about_us.html", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
You can find arrowmain11.gif image in the attached example.
Actually you can add any html code inside item's text.
2) Set the drop down menu padding:
var itemPadding="3px 15px 3px 3px";Q: I think I am almost there.
I would like to know a couple of things.
Why the menu does not float?
Why I cannot centre the menu?
A: When you use floatable menu you can't use relative menu position.
So, if you use
var absolutePos = 0;
and to center the menu you use <p> or <div> with the center alignment your menu won't float.
To center your floatable menu you should set absolute coordinates.
var absolutePos = 1;
Q: I am working on a menu for a client. I have most of the functionality in place for this client. I have 2 questions that I have not been able to figure out on this menu.
1. Is there a way to define the border image or color on an item in this simple javascript dropdown menu. I need to be able to add in lines between the items. I have not been able to figure out how to do that.
2. Is there a way to dynamically highlite an item? For instance if you are on the page "Horizon for SAP" as illustrated, I would want that to show differently in the menu.
I have written scripts to dynamically generate this menu based off of a sitemap. I just need to make one item on it look different based on your breadcrumb or where you are in the site.
A: > Is there a way to define the border image or color on an item.
You can't specify the image for border, but the color and width are fully configurable.

Q: Just wondering if it is possible to select a specificdhtml tab via JavaScript.
Eg. A link on the page to select the next tab (or any other for that matter)
A: You can use the following function to open appropriate tab:
Unfortunately Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions now.
You can use the following function to open specific tab:
dtabs_itemClick(menuInd,itemInd);
where
menuInd - index of a tab menu on a page, >= 0.
itemInd - index of a item, >=0.
For example:
<DIV onClick="dtabs_itemClick(0,2)" style="width: 200px; border: 2px solid #000;">Click to open the third tab</DIV>
