Q: I have another question.. after I successfully click and load the data in to my window using the mouseover tab, the tab defaults back to the original default tab.
Because I have to reload my page after the tab has been selected the tab chosen is lost. What do you recommend for "remembering" the tab so that when the page reloads the correct tab is highlighted. I know that I need to set the var bselectedItem but if you have a "nifty" way for me to do that I am all ears.
A: Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab aslo.
You can set "bselectedItem" and " var bselectedSmItem" parametersbased on your link before you call your data file.
For example, move " var bselectedItem" and " var bselectedSmItem" parametersfrom your data file to your code.
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem=<?php echo $seltabs; ?>;
var bselectedSmItem=<?php echo $selsmtabs; ?>;
</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, forexample:
<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: I see "Incorrect Copyright" message in IE7.
A: Now you're using Deluxe Menu v1.12.
You should upgrade you Deluxe Menu to v2.0.
Please, download licensed files from the same link in your licensemessage.
How to upgrade to v2.00
---------------------------------------------------------------
You can download the licensed engine .js files from the same link in your license message. Deluxe Menu v2.00 has new parameters and features.
To upgrade to v2.00 you should do the following.
Step 1.
1.1 For Windows users
a. Run Deluxe Tuner v2.0
(can be found in the trial menu package v2.0
http://deluxe-menu.com/deluxe-menu.zip).
b. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed):
select File/OpenA
c. Save the file: select File/Save, then click "No" button when the dialog box appears.
1.2 For other OS users
a. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed) in a text editor.
b. Make sure that the following variables exist in the data file:
var keystrokes = 0;
var dm_focus = 1;
var dm_actKey = 113;
var dynamic = 0;
var smHideOnClick = 1;
var itemAlignTop = 'left';
var smSmartScroll = 1;
var dmAJAX = 0;
var dmAJAXCount = 30;
var dmRTL = 0;
var dmObjectsCheck = 0;
var menuBackRepeat = "repeat";
var menuHeight = "";
var transDuration2 = 200;
If one of the variables doesn't exist - add it at the beginning of the file.
c. Save the file.
Step 2. Now open HTML-page that contains Deluxe Menu.
Step 3. Replace existent tags of the menu by the following code:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
Step 4. Save HTML-page.
Step 5. New engine v2.00 has 7 .js files.
They are:
- dmenu.js
- dmenu4.js
- dmenu_add.js
- dmenu_dyn.js
- dmenu_key.js
- dmenu_cf.js (new v2.00)
- dmenu_popup.js (new v2.00)
Replace all old .js files by the files from v2.00.
Try that.
Q: First, i like the time I save with this program, but it isn't going to help me that much if I can't put the menu where I want it on my page.
No matter how I set the "positioning", it shows up in exactly the same place over and over. I've put it in table cells, I've given it absolute positioning... none of it matters.
A: If you want to center the menu paste itwithin the <div> or <table> with a static position and specify a center alignment for it, for example:
<DIV align=center>
<<SCRIPT src="data/data.js" type=text/javascript>
</SCRIPT>
</DIV>
<table width=800>
<tr>
<td align=center width=600><script type="text/javascript" src="data/data.js"></script></td>
</tr>
</table>
Please, set exact value for var menuWidth parameter, for example:
var menuWidth = "600px";
This can help to align your menu correctly in all browsers.
Try also to specify units in "px".
Set also:
var absolutePos = 0;
Try that.
Q: If you click a list drop menu link in the tree that opens a new page, for example, Solutions:By Type:Psuedo Wire , the link, Psuedo Wire, remains highlighted.
If you click a line that targets _self, for example, Solutions: By Type: T1 Extender, the link does not remain highlighted. My web app will need highlighting and all links will target _self. I have to solve this problem soon or else look elsewhere.
A: It is normal behaviour, your list drop menu can save its state within one page only.
You can try to use frames, and open pages in the content frame. Also you can use aserver-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages fromtemplates on your server (we use this method on our website
http://deluxe-tree.com).
You should set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function apyt_ext_setPressedItem(menuInd, itemID)
<script type="text/javascript"><br>
var i = 4 //index of the selected item
onload=setPressed;
function setPressed()
{
dtreet_ext_setPressedItem(0,dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex(0, i));
}
</script>
To expand specific items you should use the following function: dtreet_ext_expandItem (dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 11), 1);
