Q: I have setup some tabs on a site that I am designing and for some reason when I click on a drop down menu links tab and it links to another page it automatically highlights the first tab in the row. I have tried fiddling with it and have not been able to figure it out. Can someone point me in the right direction to have the correct tab selected after i click it and goto the page.
A: Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected drop down menu links 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" drop down menu links 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>
Try that.
Q: I would like to purchase your software but not for web use. We often give out data cd's to our brokers for instance data management/finding. Your software with the custom menu system and ease of use to setup is just what I need to cut down my design time. But looking at your license agreement you require us to register it to a domain or intranet domain which this will not be on.
I am looking to create a menu system then burn it to a cd to allow people to carry it around with them. What do i register the domain as so that I am able to burn this to cd and they don't get a nag screen when with a client or briefing.
Thank you in advance
A: Thanks for your interest in our products.
To use Deluxe Menu on CD/DVD you should buy developerlicense. Other licenses allow you to use the menu on Internet/Intranetwebsites only.
Q: I am having problems with the XP Taskbar Menu. When I use DOCTYPE in the following format, the task bar does not show up atall for the exception of a single line.
<!DOCTYPEhtmlPUBLIC"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
When I hover my mouse on top of that line the menu displays fine with no problems. So the problem is with the Start button and the taskbar – they do not show. Can you please advice on how to fix this problem while keeping the DOCTYPE as specified.
A: Try to set the exact width for the menu:
var menuWidth="685px";
