Q: How can I center my navigation java script menu bar within my HTML page? I have tried putting the script into a table that is centered. I have also changed the var menuWidth to 800px. The navigation bar is still right-justified instead of centered in both IE and Firefox/Mozilla.
A: Now you use absolute position for the java script menu bar:
var absolutePos=1;
var posX="0px";
var posY="0px";
You should set:
var absolutePos=0;
Q: One more question. How can I make the javascript submenus appear much more quickly? They appear but only after mouseing-over the menu and waiting for approximatelyone second.
A: Try to adjust the following parameters:
var dm_writeAll=0;
var smShowPause=100;
var smHidePause=1000;
var transDuration=150;
var transDuration2=200;
You can also turn off transitional effects
var transition=-1;
Q: Can I use just one data.js in one folder that all the pages with a dhtml popup menu point to?
A: If you don't want to create your menu on each page you can use aserver-side script
(php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages fromtemplates on your server.
You can use cross frame menu.
It allows you to build full-featured menus on the pagesthat use frame-based structure.
And it's not necessary to insert any code into all the pages -just specify the additional
parameters of the menu and initialize it.
To install the menu in a cross-frame mode, see more info here:
http://www.deluxe-menu.com/cross-frame-mode-sample.htmlQ: Earlier today I bought your Deluxe Tabbed Menu software. I "nearly" have the menu I want working, but my problem is that the sub menus I have created in my java script tabs disappear very quickly after being clicked. I want these sub-menus to stay when.
The website that I have developed the menu for can be seen at www.domain.ie/index.php I have sub menus created for the About, Courses & Contact Us items, but as mentioned these disappear very quickly.
FYI, I call the data.js menu file from an include file in the webpages. I don't know if this has anything to do with my problem.
A: That is happen because you have links for the top items with subitems:
About Us
Courses
Contact Us
Actually it is not correctly to use links for items with subitems. Youshould use these items to open subitems only.
But if you want to use links for them you should set the correctpressed item for this page, for example for
http://www.domain.ie/about.php
you should set
var bselectedItem=2;
http://www.domain.ie/courses.php
you should set
var bselectedItem=6;
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>
