Q: Is it possible to open a specific tab using javascript in the horizontal tabbed?
A: You can try to use the following function:
dtabs_itemClick(menuN, itemN);
where
menuN - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
itemN - index of a tab you want to show, >=0.
Q: I'm just trying to get those little vertical spacers between menu items in the drop down menu.How can I do it with Deluxe Menu.
A: Please, see the following parameters of the menu:
//------- Separators -------
var separatorWidth = "10";
var separatorHeight = "20";
var separatorAlignment = "center";
var separatorImage = "C";
var separatorVWidth = "20";
var separatorVHeight = "10%";
var separatorVImage = "image.jpg";
You can create separators between items in the drop down menu using menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"], ["|item 3"],
["|-"], // this subitem is separator
["|item 4"],
];
Q: I need to include backgroundimages for my navigation, so I put them in the same folder where the "data.js" file can be found. I am using the deluxe tuner in order to call these files and it looks great in the preview. As soon as I save the file and load it in the browser, the background images are missing.
Any solutions for this problem?
A: Now you have such paths for all your images data.files/image.gif
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=128px","itemBackImage=data.files/nav01_off.gif,data.files/nav01_off.gif"],
["itemWidth=128px","itemBackImage=data.files/nav02_off.gif,data.files/nav02_off.gif"],
["itemWidth=128px","itemBackImage=data.files/nav03_off.gif,data.files/nav03_off.gif"],
["itemWidth=128px","itemBackImage=data.files/nav04_off.gif,data.files/nav04_off.gif"],
["itemWidth=128px","itemBackImage=data.files/nav05_off.gif,data.files/nav05_off.gif"],
];
But you don't have images in "data.files/" folder. That's why youcan't see them.
Please, check all your paths.
You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Please, try to use these parameters.
Q: I would like to create my own jpeg images and use them as the mouseover-items in the top level drop down menus. I am not talking about the backround. I mean the actual upfront button.
I seem to be locked into the size which is the default and would like to change it to width = 180px and height = 45px for each item in the menu.
Is there any way to do that?
A: You should create Individual Style and assign it for all top items.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=180px"],
];
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Product Info","", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
