Q: That worked for the rollover drop down menu but I lost my drop shadow on the main menu. The sub-menus still have it. The preview has the drop shadow but when I view it in IE it is not there.
A: You should check the following parameters:
var shadowLen=3;
var shadowColor="#B1B1B1";
var shadowTop=1;
Q: Well I figured all of that out but now I have a new problem.The content of the textarea tabs is not displaying in IE.
A: See, it is not correctly to use submenus in tabMode=0.
Now you have:
var bmenuItems = [
["Why Choose Frictionsweb?","content1", "", "", "", "Why choose Frictionsweb Premium Internet Services?", "", "", "", ],
["|Our Services","content2", "", "", "", "We handle your project from the ground up!", "", "", "", ],
];
var bmenuItems = [
["Specials","content3", "", "", "", "Great Deals from Frictionsweb!", "", "", "", ],
["|Our Services","content4", "", "", "", "We handle your project from the ground up!", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
Try to write your bmenuItems in the following way:
var bmenuItems = [
["Why Choose Frictionsweb?","content1", "", "", "", "Why choose Frictionsweb Premium Internet Services?", "", "", "", ],
["Our Services","content2", "", "", "", "We handle your project from the ground up!", "", "", "", ],
];
var bmenuItems = [
["Specials","content3", "", "", "", "Great Deals from Frictionsweb!", "", "", "", ],
["Our Services","content4", "", "", "", "We handle your project from the ground up!", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
Q: I have configured the Deluxe Tabs menu for the purpose that this menu will form the basis of a website's navigation, once clicked a tab it will take you to the appropriate page.
However one problem I have faced is that menu, regardless of current webpage will display the same active/ selected menu item, having looked in the menu parameters I know that the following set the positions of the selected tab :
* var bselectedItem=0;
* var bselectedSmItem=0;
Is there anyway of selecting the dhtml tab menu index location according to what webpage you are on? On your website it shows an example of a PHP server-side script, however is there an example of this in ASP ?
A: No, unfortunately we don't have such examples in ASP.
Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab also.
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 images that I want to use for the top level of the menu. How do I create a menu using images that were created in a different program? I tried to look in the frequently asked questions but IcouldnТt find anything that told me how. Thank you in advance for your help.
A: You can use any image for the top items.
You can set
var itemBackImage=["",""];
Or, create Individual style
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11px Tahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=data-vista-03.files/btn_magentablack.gif,data-vista-03.files/btn_magenta.gif"],
];
The new method of making image-based menus: if item text is empty, icon fields will be used as item images.
For example:
["", "index.html", "itemImageNormal.gif", "itemImageOver.gif", "Home Page"]
