Q: I am trying to create a tab menu and I have some questions. I want a tab menu that has four tabs. Each tab is a different image, the normal and hover state uses the same image and the selected state uses a different image. This will be applied to all four tabs. All the tabs will not have any text on them because the image will already have text on it. This tab menu will not have a submenu but will use <div id> tags to populate information when a certain javascript menu master tab is selected.
I am having difficulty trying to create this type of tab menu to work with the Deluxe Tuner. Each time I try to make an image as a tab that image is applied to all javascript menu master tabs which I do not want. I want each tab to have a different image.
Please advice how I can do this.
A: If you want to use different images you should use Individual ItemStyles and assign them for your tabs.
var bstyles = [
["bitemBackImage=deluxe-tabs.files/style04_n_back.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_s_back.gif, deluxe-tabs.files/style04_s_back.gif","bbeforeItemImage=deluxe-tabs.files/style04_n_left.gif, deluxe-tabs.files/style04_s_left.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_s_left.gif", "bafterItemImage=deluxe-tabs.files/style04_n_right.gif, deluxe-tabs.files/style04_s_right.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_s_right.gif"],
["bitemBackImage=deluxe-tabs.files/style04_2_n_back.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_2_s_back.gif, deluxe-tabs.files/style04_2_s_back.gif","bbeforeItemImage=deluxe-tabs.files/style04_2_n_left.gif, deluxe-tabs.files/style04_2_s_left.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_2_s_left.gif", "bafterItemImage=deluxe-tabs.files/style04_2_n_right.gif, deluxe-tabs.files/style04_2_s_right.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_2_s_right.gif"],

Q: I need to put accents, can I do that with your drop down menu software?
A: You can insert any html code within menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["É","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: What I would like to achieve is a separator in the main menu list of a vertical menu.
I can get the separator to show in submenus but not the main menu.
A: You should write so:
var separatorImage="menu.files/sep_blue.gif";
var separatorWidth="90%";
var separatorHeight="3";
var separatorAlignment="center";
var separatorVImage="menu.files/sep_blue.gif";
var separatorVWidth="90%";
var separatorVHeight="3";
var separatorPadding="0px";
Q: I need to know how to have the background in the main menutransparent, and then the sub-menu/s a different translucent color.
Or, the background for the main menu one color, and the sub-menu/s a different 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
];
