Q: I want to have the dhtml popup display as you mouse over an image - is this possible?

A: For example you want to open a popup onMouseover, onClick oronMouseout on a link.

So, you should create a link on your page and set id="" for it, forexample:

<a href="javascript:;" id="link">Open popup OnClick</a>
<a href="javascript:;" id="over">Open popup OnMouseover</a>
<a href="javascript:;" id="out">Open popup OnMouseOut</a>

In Deluxe Tuner you should set:
onMouseOver - over
onMouseOut - out
onClick - link

So you'll have

deluxePopupWindow.attachToEvent(win,',,onClick=link,onMouseOver=over,onMouseOut=out,')


Q: .How customizable is it style in for dhtml navigation, meaning, i have images i want used for the top level navigation, and background images for the rest. any way I can achieve this?

A: Actually you can create any menu with Deluxe Menu. You can use Individual Styles tocreate your menu.
For example:

  var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemHeight=21px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11px Tahoma",
"fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=data-vista-03.files/btn_magentablack.gif,data-vista-03.files/btn_magenta.gif"],
];

  var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=transparent","menuBackImage=back.gif","menuBorderWidth=0","itemSpacing=1","itemPadding=0px 5px 0px 5px"],
];

Q: The problem is now that I have a scroll bar in the main menus although there is nothing to scroll.

Do you have any ideas?


A: You've set the exact width and height for submenus.

  var smWidth = "100";
  var smHeight = "250px";
  var menuStyles = [
["smWidth=220px","smHeight=250px"],
["smWidth=200px","smHeight=250px"],
["smWidth=120px","smHeight=250px"],
];

Try to write:

  var smWidth = "";
  var smHeight = "";
  var menuStyles = [
[""],
[""],
[""],
];
There will be no scroll bar in the main menus.


Q: I have setup some tabs on a site that I am designing and for some reason when I click on a drop down menu links tab and it links to another page it automatically highlights the first tab in the row. I have tried fiddling with it and have not been able to figure it out. Can someone point me in the right direction to have the correct tab selected after i click it and goto the page.

A: Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected drop down menu links tab.

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" drop down menu links 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>

Try that.
