Q: I am interested in purchasing the "Microsoft Like Style Dhtml Tabs Menu" and would like to know if the tab menu horizontal java, roll over and selected colors are controllable? meaning if I want green (not blue) tab I can have the tabs green. Please let me know
http://deluxe-tabs.com/file/templates/deluxe-tabs-micr.html A: Unfortunately you cannot change the color of this template in DeluxeTuner, as it is image-based tab menu horizontal java.
If you want to change the color of this template you should changeimages. You can do it in any Graph editor, for example in PhotoShop.
Q: One other issue I am having if you don't mind helping. On my web site when I run the menu I get an Errors on page message with the following
Line: 16
Char: 18132
Error: Access is denied.
Code: 0
URL: http://www.site.id.au/left_frame.htm
When I run the site from my local PC with the menu, I don't get this error?
Could you possibly suggest why? I can't find anything on your site.
A: Try to check all you paths.
original setting:
var tmenuBackImage="";
var titemBackImage=["",""];
changed to:
var tmenuBackImage="images/blank.gif";
var titemBackImage=["images/blank.gif","images/blank.gif"];
Try to specify units in "px".
var tmenuWidth = "180px";
It's necessary to specify exact value for Mozilla browsers. It helpsto position menus correctly.
You should set this parameter:
var tmenuHeight = "auto";
Now you have such parameters in the menu:
["||24","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/24.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
["||30 Days","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/30days.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ], ["||Battlestar Galactica","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/battlestarg.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
["||Blade","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/blade.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
["||Eureka","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/eureka.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
["||I Pity the Fool","C:/Documents and Settings/Paul/My Documents/My Web Sites/site.id.au/guide/ipitythefool.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
You cannot use local paths on your website.
Please, correct it. <
br>You should write for example: ["||24","site.id.au/guide/24.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
["||30 Days","site.id.au/guide/30days.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
["||Battlestar Galactica","site.id.au/guide/battlestarg.htm", , , , , "main_frame", , , , , ],
Try to use also the attached engine .js files on your server.
Q: Does your drop down menu creator work in Expression Web?
A: Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage/Microsoft Expression Web extension,
BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files.
To install the menuinto your html page:
1. open the page in your program
2. open html source code of the page
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags).
For info see: http://deluxe-menu.com/installation-info.html
That's all.
Q: I need to be able to highlight the selected menu item of the sliding drop down menu.
A: Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
