Q: I've tried to add the pathPrefix_img as suggested and I'm still having trouble with images.
Can you provide anymore feedback on what I'm doing wrong?
A: Now you have such paths:
var pathPrefix_img="http://www.domain-name.com/images/";
and
var arrowImageMain=["CFTopMenu.files/arrv_white_1.gif",""];
So, the full path we'll be:
http://www.domain-name.com/images/CFTopMenu.files/arrv_white_1.gif
Is it right?
I've tried to download your image from this link. There is no such image.
If you want to put all your images into the "images" folder you should write so:
var pathPrefix_img="http://www.domain-name.com/images/";
and
var arrowImageMain=["arrv_white_1.gif",""];
Please, check that you upload all your images on the server in the right places.
Q: Currently the links of javascript tab control open in a _blank browser, how do I change this?
A: You should set the following parameter:
var bitemTarget = "_self";
You can set it using Deluxe Tuner. You can find this parameter in theTab-Mode section.
Q: I just noticed as well that I cannot change the spacing of the buttons.
Right now the buttons are tight together, how do I create a gap between each dhtmlmenu button?
A: You can paste the separator.
Please, see the following parameters:
//------- Separators -------
var separatorWidth = "10";
var separatorHeight = "20";
var separatorAlignment = "center";
var separatorImage = "C";
var separatorVWidth = "150";
var separatorVHeight = "10%";
var separatorVImage = "image.jpg";
You can create separators using menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],
];
You can also use this parameter:
var itemPadding = "4px";
You can also set multiple values, for example:
"2px 15px 5px 5px";
(top, right, bottom, left)
Q: Earlier today I bought your Deluxe Tabbed Menu software. I "nearly" have the menu I want working, but my problem is that the sub menus I have created in my java script tabs disappear very quickly after being clicked. I want these sub-menus to stay when.
The website that I have developed the menu for can be seen at www.domain.ie/index.php I have sub menus created for the About, Courses & Contact Us items, but as mentioned these disappear very quickly.
FYI, I call the data.js menu file from an include file in the webpages. I don't know if this has anything to do with my problem.
A: That is happen because you have links for the top items with subitems:
About Us
Courses
Contact Us
Actually it is not correctly to use links for items with subitems. Youshould use these items to open subitems only.
But if you want to use links for them you should set the correctpressed item for this page, for example for
http://www.domain.ie/about.php
you should set
var bselectedItem=2;
http://www.domain.ie/courses.php
you should set
var bselectedItem=6;
Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab aslo.
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>
