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: The window open javascript are loading as the page loads, as well as when you click the appropriate object. How can we prevent the pre-loading of pop-ups so that they only load onclick?
A: In that case you shouldn't set openAfter and closeAfter parameters.
So, you'll have:
deluxePopupWindow.attachToEvent(win,',,,,,')
or
deluxePopupWindow.attachToEvent(win,'openAfter=,closeAfter=,,,,')
See the following example:

Q: I've purchased the mac style tabs. I've spent countless hours trying to get it to work, no luck so far. I've gotten jscript tabs to look okay on page, but links between pages do not work. I've even gotten them to work, but they were simple text menu's; not jscript tabs. But I haven't gotten the tabbed menu to work. Checked and tripled cheeked the instructions, still no luck.
I've uploaded the files to a test server.
There are four files cameron,carl,grace, and chantel; these are simple identical two column pages to test the links between tabs. NO LUCK. I'm about to give up on your program, can you please help.
A: You're using
var tabMode=0;
now. That means that you should use content DIV's ID instead of thelink.
If you want to open links you should write links in the following way:
["Cameron","link:cameron.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Grace","link:grace.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Carl","link:carl.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Chantel","link:chantel.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],Q: I should mean the font style that I failed to update after I have selected and assign font as shown in the pic above.

The style font box did not update nor the preview
