Q: We would need to programatically open a particular tab in the horizontal tab menu.
A: 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>
Q: I have a client that wants a menu bar with all the buttons the same length.
What code might I need to do that
A: You should use individual item styles (you can create it in Deluxe Tuner application). For example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=110px"], // 0 - number of the style
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", , , , , "0", , , ], // 0 - style 0
["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , "0", , , ], // 0 - style 0
["|Features","testlink.html", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , , , ],
["|Installation","", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , , , ],

Q: Can you tell me the difference between a target and a link.
Also can you explain what self, blank, top, parent, search and custom mean in the javascript menu table please.
A: Link is the url you want to open when you click on the javascript menu table item.
Target controls where you'll open your link:
"_self" - open link in the same window
"_blank" - open link in the new window
"_parent" - will load the linked document where the inner frameset file had been
"_top" - loads the linked document in the topmost frame
custom - you should write here the name of the frame where you want to
open the linked document, for example:
"framename"
"_search" - this target causes the link to load in the browser's Search pane. (Internet Explorer 5.0 and later.)
