Q: I have not seen anything that can help me in the question list and would like to ask how to have a mouseover drop down menu closed by default. I know that by preceding it with a '+' has it open and had assumed that removing it would close it, but it does not seem to do this.
Where in the scripts do I need to change this value and will this be updated in the future?
A: You should delete "+" signs in the top items and set the followingparameter:
var texpanded=0;

Q: I have a question regarding deluxe tab implementation.Can you guide me on how to change tab selection dynamically for the tabbed navigation.
A: Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return the selected tab.
You can set "bselectedItem" and " var bselectedSmItem" parameters based on your link before you call your data file.
For example, move " var bselectedItem" and " var bselectedSmItem" parameters from your data file to your code.
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem= var bselectedSmItem= </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, for example:
<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>
Q: Is there a different type of menu, other than the way I have it set up, such as the tree type, that might load faster or take up less space when the page loads?
A: You should set
var dmAJAX=1;
create .js files with your submenus and call this files from your mainfile, for example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.htm"],
["Product Info","", , , , , , , "data-samples/data-ajax2.js", ],
["Samples","", , , , , , , "data-samples/data-ajax3.js", ],
["Purchase","testlink.htm"],
["Contact Us","testlink.htm"],
];
/*** data-ajax2.js ****/
var menuItems = [
["Features","testlink.htm"],
["Installation",""],
["Parameters Info","testlink.htm"],
["Dynamic Functions","testlink.htm"],
["Supported Browsers",""],
];
Add dmenu_ajax.js file in the same folder with your dmenu.js file.
Try that.
