Q: Is there a way to specify certian font styles escpecailly a hanging indent on the text of the javascript menu scroll?
A: You should use Individual styles, for example:
var itemStyles = [
["fontStyle=bold 12px Arial,Helvetica", "fontDecoration=none,underline"], // style 0
["fontStyle=normal 12px Arial,Helvetica", "fontDecoration=underline,underline"], // style 1
["fontStyle=normal 14px Arial,Helvetica", "fontDecoration=none,none"], // style 2
];
And assign styles to your items:
var menuItems = [
["1 Item","index.php","","","","_self","0",,,],
["2 Item","","","","","_self","1",,,],
["|Submenu Item","","","","","_self","2",,,],...
Q: But what mean the message "Incorrect Copyright" that you see on the javascript menu ie TABS on our website? Because we did the solution that you described in the original message that I copy you below. In some computers appears this messages in other not.
The key that is in the .js file.
A: Installation of your menu is not correct:
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="deluxe-tabs.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-tabs.files/dtabs.js"></script>
<!--script type="text/javascript" src="../Library/Library_JS/dtabs.js"></script-->
<script type="text/javascript" src="../Library/Library_JS/data-deluxe-tabs.js"></script>
You should write:
<noscript><p><a href="http://deluxe-tabs.com">javascript menu ie by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></p></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-tabs.files/dtabs.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../Library/Library_JS/data-deluxe-tabs.js"></script>
Try that.
Q: Does this mean that nothing needs to be installed on the server side to make javascript menu?
Here is why I am asking this:
We have a main "corporate" web site, which is going to use the Deluxe Menu. One of the links on the main site will launch a page, which is running on a separate web server (physically separate server, and not a load-balancing scenario). Since all of these pages should look identical to the users, they all have to use the exact same configuration and look&feel in Deluxe Menu. I was wondering if any "configuration" type settings are stored on the server. In other words, would we have to maintain the Deluxe Menu install on two separate servers?
A: There is no need to install anything on your server. You should onlycopy a folder with all engine files (dmenu.js, dmenu_add.js, ...) anddata file on your server. Then you should call these files on yourpages, for example:
<body>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.js"></script>

Actually you can copy deluxe menu files on the one server only anduse absolute paths.
Q: Is it possible to generate Kaspersky java tab menu from dynamic content?
i.e I have a web application which currently generates a certain number of tabs for content based on a users selection.
Can the Kapersky tabs be generated from dynamic content, or does it need to be hard coded for the number of tabs and placement?
A: Unfortunately, Deluxe Tabs doesn't have such a feature.
You may generate a menu from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.
However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files, so, you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">Javascript Tree Menu by Deluxe-Tree.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dtree.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2006, http://deluxe-tree.com -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
var parameter1=value1;
var parameter2=value2;
etc.
var tmenuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];
</script>
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:

This example is not for Deluxe Tabs menu, but you can create your menu in the same way.
