Q: I see one of the styles of tabs that Deluxe tabs can create is vertical ones, however, they appear just to be the floating type with images. I'd like a more traditional looking, non-floating tab to sit vertically. Is that possible with your software?
A: If you don't want that your Tabs Menu float you should set thefollowing parameter:
var bfloatable=0;
Q: We are unable to get sub-menus to appear on page load or rather simulate a "windows application style menu".
How can we in combination with the java menu api function dm_ext_setPressedItem get the associated sub-menu to display? This function simply sets the item to "pressed" rather than actually showing the sub-menu. Attempts at beginning an item's text value with "+" only works with Deluxe Tree.
Again, we are trying to use the menu not only as a navigator but also as a visual aid for the user to determine what page they are viewing. For example, when a user clicks on a menu item and that page loads, the menu should display the top-level item pressed, the sub-menu group, and the item pressed.
Furthermore, it would also be useful if we could then "unlock" the pressed items and navigate the menu under normal circumstances.
If there are no existing "quick" functions to accomplish this, could you please point out the function in dmenu.js or another engine file that initiates the display of sub-menus, we could then force the menu to select a top-level item in the onload event thus showing a top-level item pressed along with it's related sub-menu.
A: Unfortunately Deluxe Menu doesn't have such a feature now. It is notpossible to set parent item highlighted, expanded submenu group andhighlighted submenu item.
You can do it using Deluxe Tree now only.
Q: When I click between tabs, only one tab remains in its active state for a dhtml tab navigation.
Why isn't the tab changing to look "active" to reflect the page that it's on?
Please let me know where this setting is.
A: Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab.
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>
Try that.
Q: I’m currently testing your product and using the tabs. My question is that not all my javascript html tabs point to the same target, I tried doing your suggestion on your FAQ but when I do that the tabs do not even display, here is my code
["|Manage Users","user.asp",,,,,"fmeMain"] also tried different points in the parameters
I know the break down is as follows
[Display,Url,Icon1, icon2, title,supposedToBeTarget]
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.
Unfortunately, you cannot set target parameter for each item.
bmenuItems has the following structure:
var bmenuItems = [
["text", "divID or link or javascript function", "icon1", "icon2", "icon3", "tip", "styleN"],
];
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('test.html', '_self')", ...],
["tab text", "javascript: window.open('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;
