Q: I already have your product. I need to know if I can call js functions using the .js file in java menu sample.
A: You can use your own javascript functions in the menu items.
You should paste "javascript:some_function()" into item's link field, for example:
var menuItems = [
["text", "javascript:your_function(...)", ...]
];
var menuItems = [
["item text", "javascript:alert('Hello World')", , , , ,]
];
Q: Could you please just help me - I have been using quirks mode to create our customer sites and would now like to start using a proper doctype like:
But when I change it, all the down menus dhtml break on the sites.
A: Try to specify all units in "px":
var itemPadding="3px";
var itemStyles = [
["fontStyle=normal 11px Lucida SansUnicode","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackColor=#DE2829,#C62829","itemBorderWidth=0",
"itemBorderColor=#FFFFFF,#C21212","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid",
"itemBackImage=blank.gif,blank.gif","itemWidth=160px"], ["itemWidth=129px"],
];
var menuStyles = [
["itemSpacing=0", "itemPadding=8px"]
];
Q: Does your product generate the page code or is t a dll I have to use? Reason I ask is because we store our menu stuff with image references in a db. If your product outputs code for the menu, then I can use that and in my own code I can place/substitute values and work with it from there.
A: We have an .exe file - Deluxe tuner.
It generates .js files with menu parameters.
You can also export your menu to .html file.
You may generate a menu from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.
However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files, so, you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2006, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
var parameter1=value1;
var parameter2=value2;
etc.
var menuItems = [ // here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.) ];
</script>
Unfortunately we don't have examples with ASP and SQL.
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:

A: See, you can use links if you have
var tabMode=1;
only.
If you have
var tabMode=0;
You should use the ID of the DIV.
But you can try to open your pages using different targets in thefollowing way
["tab text", "javascript: window.open('test.html', 'frameName')", ...],
["tab text", "javascript: window.open('http://deluxe-tabs.com/test.html', '_self')", ...],
["tab text", "javascript: window.open('html/test.html', '_blank')", ...],
Where frameName - the name of the frame where to open the page test.html.
Using this method you can create Deluxe Tabs in var tabMode=0; and var tabMode=1;
