Q: I want to have one of the drop menus use a different image.
I am using thevista images and would like to have all of them but one use the same imageand the last one a different one. Can this be done?
If not I was able to adda second menu with the different image but for some reason the second menuwill not drop down. Can you help me with either of these?
A: You should create Individual Style for the last item and assign another image for it.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","fontStyle=normal 11pxTahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=data-vista-01.files/btn_black.gif,data-vista-01.files/btn_black_blue.gif"],
["itemWidth=92px","itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","itemBackImage=data-vista-2-03.files/btn_green.gif,data-vista-2-03.files/btn_green2.gif","fontStyle='normal11px Tahoma','normal 11px Tahoma'","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF"],];
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", "", "", ], //style 0
["Product Info","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style 0
...

Q: I'm testing out your cascading html menu but I cannot seem to see the live version of it on line. I can view it on my computer but I cannot send a link to my coworkers so they can view it also. Am I putting the code in the right location? Please point me into the right direction.
A: It is not correctly to call data file inside H2 tag
<h2> <script type="text/javascript" src="test1.js"></script></h2>
You should write
<script type="text/javascript" src="test1.js"></script>
or
<div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="test1.js"></script>
</div>
Check that you uploaded dtree.js and test1.js files on your server.
Q: The button menu is on the top of the screen but it has lines through each of the menus just after the words and before the arrow on each of them.
I have stretched the menu out tocover the whole of the top of the page but i need to get these lines out of the menu.
Can you please help me with this problem
A: See images in Vista Templates have the fixed width and height (92 x21):
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=transparent,transparent","itemBorderWidth=0",
"fontStyle=normal 11px Tahoma","fontColor=#3A3A3A,#000000","itemBackImage=data-vista-2-04.files/btn_olive.gif,data-vista-2-04.files/btn_white.gif"],
];
When items text is too long you can have such effect.
You can try to use combined background for your items, for example:
var beforeItemImage = [,]; //left-side image for normal and mouse over state
var itemBackImage = [,]; //background or image for normal and mouse over state
var afterItemImage = [,]; //right-side image for normal and mouse over state
var beforeItemImageW = '';
var afterItemImageW = '';
var beforeItemImageH = '';
var afterItemImageH ='';
But you should create a small images in any Graph Editor, for example:
button_n_back.gif
button_n_left.gif
button_n_right.gif
button_o_back.gif
button_o_left.gif
button_o_right.gif
Q: I created tabs. And i placed the some control in each tab. I taken the submit button outside the tab . I written java script validation for taking input.Now in this case my focus should go the particular tab and the control.
How to control and refer particular tab in flash tab menu when submit button is exist outside the tab
A: You can use the following function to open appropriate tab:
dtabs_itemClick(menuN, itemN);
where
menuN - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
itemN - index of a tab you want to show, <=0.
For example:
<DIV onClick="dtabs_itemClick(0,2)" style="width: 200px; border: 2px solid #000;">Click to open the third tab</DIV>
