Q: I need to load a tab page and have the correct javascript menu rollover tab showing based on a variable that is available when the page loads. How do I get the tab to change to a different tab then the one defined in the configuration file?
Example
bmenuItem = 0; /* this is the default */
When my page reloads I want bmenuItem = someVariable;
How do I do this?
A: Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected javascript menu rollover tab.
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 have just purchased your Deluxe Menu multi site license and I'm really enjoying it. I've been able to tweak a menu tree template to achieve the plain and simple expandable menu that I was looking for. However, I do have one quick question. My drop down menu in java script is overlapping some of my page content in both IE and Firefox. I've had the absolute positioning option turned off and on and the menu links still overlap. In Firefox they even move the page content quite a bit. I'm still playing around with it I just thought I would email for suggestions. Any help or tips you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
A: Try to set the following parameter to wrap text:
var tnoWrap=0;
Q: We purchased your software and would like a way to give our users the ability to right click (or equivalent) and open a link in to a new window.
Is there a way to do this? If not, do you have a work around that people have found helpful.
As an example, I have a menu item that goes to http://www.google.com. Typically, it loads this in to one of our frames. However, I would like the end user to have the ability to either load it in to one of our existing frames or to load it in its own window.
A: You can try to write the following code for your items:
["<a href='index.html' target='_blank' class='home'>Home</a>","", "", "", "", "Return to Index page", "", "0", "", ],
And create styles
.home{
color: #FFFFFF;}
.home:hover{
color: #FFBEBE;}
