Q: Could I use the javascript menu system tab with ASP pages.
A: Deluxe Tabs is a javascript menu system. It works on aclient side and doesn't depend on server-side implementation.
So there is no limitation for server-side scripting.
Q: I am having some difficulty dynamically adding items to a tree javascript and menu.
I have a menu with one "root" item. I see the use of the "+" symbol within the item name. I do not see any documentation regarding this symbol, only "|". Can you explain?
If I have one menu with this one "root" node, how would I add an subitem to this root node?
Here is my code so far, but the inserted items appear to be at the same level as the root node.
var rootItem = dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex ( 0,0 );
var menuItem = new Array(10);
for ( var i = 0; i < producers.length; i++ )
{
var producer = producers[ i ];
menuItem[0] = producer.name;
dtreet_ext_insertItem ( 0, 0, i + 1, menuItem );
A: See dtreet_ext_insertItem () function has the following parameters:
function dtreet_ext_insertItem (menuInd, parentItemID, itemInd, itemParams)
Creates a new item and inserts it into a specified position.
menuInd - index of a javascript and menu on a page, >= 0.
parentItemID - ID property of an item.<, >= 0.
itemInd - index of a new item within the javascript and menu, >= 0.
itemParams - item parameters.
Notice that parentItemID is the Id property of the parent item (notindex). If you want to add top items you should set parentItemID=0.
itemInd - you should use this parameter if you want to add item in thespecific place, for example set itemInd=5 if you want to add itembefore the existing item with itemInd=5.
If you set itemInd=null the new item will be added at the end of this submenu and its index will be added automatically.
Q: We have another question. How can we increase the width of the vista style buttons? Changing the itemwidth style will make the buttons larger but it also cause all the images to appear in the wrong place.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px"
A: The width of Vista images is 92px. So, if you want to create the itemswider than 92px you should change vista images in any graphic editor,for example in PhotoShop.
Q: How do I make the background in my rollover drop down menu transparent?
