Q: Will all your dhtml menu samples work cross-frame?
A: See how should you create cross frame menu:
1. To initialize the cross frame menu call dm_initFrame()
function instead of standard dm_init() function within data.js file:
dm_initFrame(framesetID, mainFrameInd, subFrameInd, orientation);
framesetID - id attribute of the frameset;
mainFrameInd - index of the main frame (where the top-menu is placed), >=0;
subFrameInd - index of the subframe (where the submenus will be shown), >=0;
orientation - frame orientaion: 0 - top-to-bottom, 1 - left-to-right; 2 - bottom-to-top; 3 - right-to-left.
So you should create your menu in Deluxe Tuner, save it.
Create html file with your frame set.
Set ID for the first frameset:
<FRAMESET id=frmSet rows=220,*>
<FRAME id=frame1 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/cross-frame-horizontal-1.htm"> //menu frame
<FRAME id=frame2 name=frame2 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/testlink.htm"> //content frame
</FRAMESET>
Then you should open your data file in any text editor and change
dm_init(); for example to dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);

Is it possible to set dhtml navigation menu up so clicking a tab runs a function in my page?
A: You can use your own javascript functions and html code in the menu items.
Unfortunately, you can't assign onmouseover/onClick event to each item. However, you can achieve this by using standard html objects within items, for example:
var bmenuitems = [
["<div onMouseover='your_code_here'>item text</div>", "content1"]
];
Q: Irene, thank you. I am working on seeing what you did and trying to get it to work on my computer. I keep getting ActiveX blocking errors when open page with the drop down menu source code on my computer. Is this something I can control from within the html code? Or is this something each user is going to have to change setting(s) in their IE Internet Options?
p.s., I had the code on the page twice cuz was just trying to get something... anything.... to work. I deleted the 2nd set which was further down on the page. I'm trying to get the menus to appear in the grey band just below the blue heading section but prior to the white text description section. And, once I get the menus to work, the navigation bar on left will be deleted. Thank you so much for your patience and help!
A: You can get the following message
"To help protect your security in IE ..."
on your local machine only. You won't have such message when you openyour website via Internet.
If you don't want to see this message you should do the followingthings:
Tools/Internet Options/Advanced Options/
and set
"Allow active content from files to run on My Computer".
Close Internet Explorer and open it once again.
There will be no such message any more.
Q: When the page initially loads, the sizing of all the tabsappear the way I want them to.
The first time any of the tabs are clicked on in the dhtml tab menu, I get a little bit of white space and a faint vertical line just to the left of tab 1.
A: Try to set your tabs in the following way:
var bmenuItems = [
["TRACING SYSTEM","link:tracing.html", "", "", "", "AUTOMATED TRACING SYSTEM", "", "", "", ],
["DOCUMENT RETRIEVAL","link:docret.html", "", "", "", "DOCUMENT RETRIEVAL SYSTEM", "", "", "", ],
["ON SPOT BY BOOKING NUMBER","link:onspot.html", "", "", "", "ON SPOT BY BOOKING NUMBER", "", "", "", ],
["CUSTOMER PORTALS","link:portals.html", "", "", "", "CUSTOMER PORTALS", "", "", "", ],
["EDI","link:edi.html", "", "", "", "ELECTRONIC DATA INTERCHANGE", "", "", "", ],
["GPS TRACKING","link:gps.html", "", "", "", "GPS TRACKING", "", "", "", ],
["WMS","link:wms.html", "", "", "", "WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM", "", "", "", ],
];
You should also set
var bselectedItem=0;
to select your first item by default in that case.
