Q: I am trying to setup a popup tab menu like the one that you have on top part of your web pages (containing items; "Home", "Product Info", "Sample"...).
Right now I am using <div id=""> tag to load everything and break the content into each tab, but it is taking a long time to load everything first then break them down into tabs. So I thought maybe having each tab's content in each page, and have a link to each page would be more efficient. But when I put a link for each tab, for example "link:www.google.com" I get an javascript error saying "tabs[...].id is null or not an object". When I test this straight from Deluxe Tuner, I get the same message.
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong here? Or is there any better way to solve my problem? Thanks in advance.
A: Check that you have style=" visibility: hidden;" for your DIVs
<div id="content1" style=" visibility: hidden; height: 400px;" class="tabPage">
> But when I put a link for each tab, for example
> "link:www.google.com" I get an javascript error saying "tabs[...].id is
You should write:
link:http://www.google.com
Q: Do I need to generate a html file after I create dhtml menu and than work from that file? Or can I just copy and paste the code into my existing html file?
A: It will be better create dhtml menu in Deluxe Tuner and save your menu as html file. And copy html codefor the menu from this file into your page. You should also copyfolder with all menu file and data file with menu parameters into the same folder with you html page.
Q: I have already tried this exact same method, using and alternate "itemBackColor" and this is not what I needed. As you can see in your example putting in an item back color only give you a different bg color on the item itself, but the BG of the menu around it remains the same. In your example the lighter bg color of my menu is surrounding the item bg color making this look more like a mistake and poor design.
It do use the item bg color for the rollover in my menu, as you can see, but implementing this does not give me what I need. I need the BG color behind this item to be completely flush with the sides of the menu.
I had already checked the menu system thoroughly before contacting you and I was well aware of the option.. but as you can see this is not the solution. It is very important to me that this looks perfect, and what I need is not built into this menu by default.. I need another solution.
A: You should set the following parameter:
var itemSpacing=0;
You can also try to paste separators between items.
Q: We were wondering is there any api for the css menu tabs available?
We would need to programatically open a particular tab.
A: No, unfortunately Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions now.
You can use the following function to open specific tab:
dtabs_itemClick(menuInd,itemInd);
where
menuInd - index of a tab menu on a page, >= 0.
itemInd - index of a item, >=0.
For example:
<DIV onClick="dtabs_itemClick(0,2)" style="width: 200px; border: 2px solid #000;">
Click to open the third tab<
/DIV>
