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>
Q: Once again, I need your help....I have gone through my eniter site to fix what it takes to keep this menu from hiding the flash header when you role over the main menu items. It still hides. The problem still exists. Help!
A: You should add the following function in the beginning of your data file
function dm_ext_ruleObjectHide()
{
// Safari detect
if ((parseInt(navigator.productSub)>=20020000) && (navigator.vendor.indexOf('Apple Computer') != -1) && (navigator.product=='Gecko'))
return true;
else
return false;
}
You should add this function each time you change your menu in DeluxeTuner as it deletes this function from your data file.
Q: In IE first tab of tabbed navigation is coming selected but in firefox it is not coming selected.
A: Check the following parameters:
var bselectedItem=0; //top items
var bselectedSmItem=1; //submenus
Notice that all indexes starts with 0.

Is it possible to open the new site in a popup in dhtml drop down menu, like 800 x 600 or something?

javascript:window.open('http://www.google.com','_blank','height=600,width=800, status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no');
