Q: I want to highlight an activeted Page with your delux menue tool, which I have bought.
If I have clicked an item from the menue and the site and the new site opened, I want to change the color of this active item.
Can you give me concrete informations about this problem!?
A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<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>
<script type="text/javascript"> var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>r dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd,
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
Q: I am setting up a 3 tab script and each tab opens a new page butthe state of the tab selected reverts back to the default tab.
How do I keep the tab selected for the html vertical tabs when advancing to the next tab (new page)?
A: You should change the selected tab depending on the page you are now.
This Tabs menu can save pressed item automatically within1 page only.
If you open another page, the menu can't remember presseditem.
You should do that manually using Javascript and menu parameters( var bselectedItem) or
using any server-side script (php, asp, etc.)
Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab.
So, you can set "bselectedItem" parameter based on your link beforeyou call data.js file.
For example, move "bselectedItem" parameter from data.js file to yourcode.
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem=<?php echo $seltabs; ?>;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript>
</SCRIPT>
</TD>
You should define seltabs using server side script.Q: I am trying to use the following horizontal scrolling tabs:
http://deluxe-tabs.com/file/templates/deluxe-tabs-style-3.html My problem is that the bitebackimage is not showing as you can see in the example below.
All the left and right side images appear, but not the repeating button background. All the images are in the same directory and have the same URL to point to them.
Any ideas on what the problem might be?
Any style tab menu that I use produces the same results.
A: The reason is in your styles. Now you have in style.css file:
TABLE {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
TR {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
TD {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
You should write:
TABLE {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
TR {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
TD {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
Try that.
Q: I'm not getting information when the move the mouse over the dhtml dynamic menu etc., however if use it on a local machine it shows the necessary information in the status bar of my ie7 . . . any ideas ?
A: You should set the following browser setting:
"Tools/Internet Options/Security/"
click "Custom level..." button and enable "Allow status bar updates viascript" in "Scripting" column (almost at the end of the list).
This is IE7 feature. In the other browsers you won't have suchproblem.
