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 downloaded the trial version, so I’m doing some testing....
I can’t highlight the selected dhtml pop up menu item of the current page. The var ttoggleMode is enabled and
tpressedFontColor = "#AA0000
This is caused by the trial version?
A: Please, check the following parameter
var pressedItem=-2;
This parameter sets an index of an item that will be highlighted by default.
-2 - the toggle mode is disabled;-1 - the toggle mode is enabled, bu
t no items highlighted by default;
0,1,2,3,... - index of highlighted item in a top-menu.
The menu has only two states normal and mouseover. We'll try to add the pressed state in the future.
You can 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.
You can also set the correct
var pressedItem=1;
parameter on each html page.
Q: I need to know how to have the background in the main items of the dynamic menu transparent, and then the sub-menus a different translucent color.
A: To set transparent background for the menu you should set:
var menuBackColor="transparent";
var itemBackColor=["transparent","transparent"];
and use Individual Item Styles for your submenus:
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#8EE8E1,#26BBB0"], //style0
["itemBackColor=#F4B7FB,#E65AF5"], //style1
];
