Q: I've looked through the FAQ's till my eyes burned... I know how to collapse/expand all on page load, but can't find an answer to this specific question
I am using tsaveState=1 and tcloseExpanded=1 and that works great when navigating the javascript vertical tree menu. But I'd like to be able to tell the javascript vertical tree menu to collapse all the way on the initial page load, without resetting those first two variables.
for instance;
a user logs on, goes to the order page, uses the menu to navigate and place an order. After the order is processed through a php verification page, the user is directed back to the order page via the php header() function, with the menu still intact, and the values of the order updated.
But once the user navigates away from the order page, and then returns to complete another order, I'd like the menu items to all be collapsed.
If that's not an inherent design of your menu program, is there a variable that I can pass with the initial load that will cause a full collapse?
A: No, unfortunately there is no such parameter in Deluxe Tree.
But you can try to delete
var tsaveState=1;
parameter from your data file and add it on your html page directly.
So, on your initial page you can set:
var tsaveState=0;
and on other pages you should set:
var tsaveState=1;Q: Could you also tell me where I should place the images I wish to use in the menu, eg arrows. When I select an image to use they are not appearing in the preview, or when I launch deluxe-menu.html?
A: Please, check images paths within data .js file.
For example, if you have data.js file here:
c:/website/data.js
and your images are stored here:
c:/website/images/
you should set image name so (for example):
var arrowImageMain = ["images/arrow1.gif", "images/arrow2.gif"];
If you use Tuner, you should save data .js file before you'll selectimages. When you save .js file it means that you set a root directoryfor the project, so Tuner can make all selected images with relativepaths.
Q: http://deluxe-tabs.com/file/templates/tabs-vertical-template.html Can this dhtml menu frames have images as well as text? Docs are not clear on it.
A: I'm not sure I understand your question.
These are image-based dhtml menu frames (four vertical round buttons on the left side). Onthe right side there is a content DIV. You can add any html elementsinside the DIV (text, images, forms and so on).
Q: First, i like the time I save with this program, but it isn't going to help me that much if I can't put the menu where I want it on my page.
No matter how I set the "positioning", it shows up in exactly the same place over and over. I've put it in table cells, I've given it absolute positioning... none of it matters.
A: If you want to center the menu paste itwithin the <div> or <table> with a static position and specify a center alignment for it, for example:
<DIV align=center>
<<SCRIPT src="data/data.js" type=text/javascript>
</SCRIPT>
</DIV>
<table width=800>
<tr>
<td align=center width=600><script type="text/javascript" src="data/data.js"></script></td>
</tr>
</table>
Please, set exact value for var menuWidth parameter, for example:
var menuWidth = "600px";
This can help to align your menu correctly in all browsers.
Try also to specify units in "px".
Set also:
var absolutePos = 0;
Try that.
