- Sound support! - Top items and submenus have a shadow - Cross-frame support - menus work on frameset-based pages - Keyboard navigation - press Ctrl+F2 to enter the top menu - Text aligned to left - Visible over select boxes, iframes, pdf, flash, Java applets. - Deluxe Tuner - visual interface to create and modify dhtml menus easily and in no time. - Submenus dropdown on mouseover
Sub menus dropdown over all the objects on the page (select, applet, flash, object, embed). If for some reasons (old browser) a submenu can't go over an object, the object will be hidden for a time when the submenu is shown.
Design personal styles for any submenu and item. Use individual styles to rich killer visual effects!
These effects will make your menu neat and chic. You can set transparency, cast a shadow on the menu and submenus. Among available special visual effects there are random dissolve, fade, mix, mosaic slide out and many many others.
Q: Can you provide an example of how to dynamically change the menu items at runtime for the dropdown menus? (asp is fine, but if it needs to javascript that is also ok)
2)Generate your menu items dynamically from database. Unfortunately we don't have working example with ASP.
You may generate a menu from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc. However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files, so, you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:
<!-- Deluxe Menu --> <noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript> <script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script> <!-- (c) 2008, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2"> // and describe parameters of a menu var parameter1=value1; var parameter2=value2; etc.
var menuItems = [ // here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.) ]; </script>

How to control and refer particular tab in flash tab menu when submit button is exist outside the tab
A:You can use the following function to open appropriate tab:
dtabs_itemClick(menuN, itemN);
where menuN - index of a menu on a page, >= 0. itemN - index of a tab you want to show, <=0. For example:
<DIV onClick="dtabs_itemClick(0,2)" style="width: 200px; border: 2px solid #000;">Click to open the third tab</DIV>
