Q: I want to run a javascript function when a user clicks on item in the dhtml pop up menu,
How can I do this in the data file?
A: You can use your own Javascript code instead standard links. For example:
var menuItems = [
["text", "javascript:your_code_here"]
];
Q: My menu does not work with IE7 (I don't know if it works with IE6) but it works perfectly in FF and Netscape. HELP!!!
A: You have several errors in your data file.
Please, check that you don't have additional spaces in yourparameters.
For example:
var fontColor=["#F3E398 ","#F3E398 "];
var itemBackColor=["#43597E","#9B1313 "];
"fontColor=#F3E398 ,#F3E398 "
Q: Is there a javascript function that I can call that will return the ID or the Text value of the currently checked tab?
A: Unfortunately there is no such a function now.
There are such variables.
dtabs_tabs[menuN].b1 - dtabs_tabs[menuN].selectedItem
dtabs_tabs[menuN].JT0 - dtabs_tabs[menuN].selectedSmItem
But they contain the index of the selected menu item, not the ID.
Q: Your service is excellent and I am making progress learning the program. I was able to resolve the transparency issue thanks to your help but, but now I have another one that is stumping me.
I can get the menu to show up in my html document and it works as I hoped it would. However, no matter where I put the line of code in my html file, the down menu in dhtml always shows up at the very top of the page. The instructions indicate the following:
Copy the following code into clipboard and paste it into the place you want to have the down menu in dhtml:
<script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script>
For example, into a table cell:
<table>
<td><script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script></td>
</table>
No matter where I put the code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script>, the menu shows up at the top of the page.
What am I missing?
A: Check that you're using relative position for the down menu in dhtml:
var absolutePos=0;
var posX="0px";
var posY="0px";
