Q: I used the drop menu creator to create a simple tab example, and I created a simple HTML file to display the tabs. It initially appears fine when the page first displays (e.g., the correct div is hidden), but when I *first* click on a tab I always get a javascript error deep in the .js code. Then I click around a bit between the tabs and get some display problems (no more javascript errors though), until finally the show/hide logic recovers and all looks ok.

The error I initially get is something like “tabs[…].id is not an object”. I have the IE7 debugger turned on, otherwise I might not ever see this error.

FYI, I tried your example menus on your web site and everything is fine! Maybe the .js files on your web site are not the same as those created by the generator?

A: You should set the following parameter in drop menu creator:

  var bselectedSmItem=0;

Q: Will tab titles ever automatically wrap?

Is there a way to force a wrap of a tab title in a tab menu java?


A: No, unfortunately, tab menu cannot wrap item text automatically.
But you can use
tag within item text, for example

  var bmenuItems = [

["Item 1 text <br> text text text <br> text text text ","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],

];

Q: I'm having trouble getting rid of a shadow the the right and bottom of a list menu java script, I don't see a parameter for it:

A: In your data .js file find the shadow section

  var shadowLen=3;
  var shadowColor="#777777";
  var shadowTop=1;

and set
  var shadowLen=0;
