Q: Please go to my website. I'm trying to getthe dhtml popup menu aligned to the right. I thought I could trick it by telling the CSS to alight the text to the right but that didn't work. Can you make a suggestion on how I can do this?
A: Try to install your tabs into the table with right alignment, for example:
<table width='100%'>
<tr>
<td align="right">
<script type="text/javascript" src="test_files/tdata.js"></script>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Q: I'm trying to shrink the vertical size of the sub-menu entries in my menu:
I think I've specified all the parameters correctly in data.js, but itТs hard to tell what affects the height of the submenu entries. Even reducing the type from 10pt to 8pt didnТt shrink them at all.
A: See, you set the following parameter:
var itemPadding = 7;
That is why you have such a big padding around the items.
If you don't want to change the appearance of the main items youshould create Individual Style for the subitems. For example:
var menuStyles = [
["itemPadding=2px"],
];
And assign this style for the first item in submenu.
Q: I am currently testing the DHTML Tabs product, and I am trying to find ways of replicating how it is being done in your website at
http://dhtml-menu.com/dhtml-tabs/tabs-examples.html.
In your website, when I click on a Tab, the content relevant to that tab appears. I understand that the site is using "div id= " method to control. However, my question is how can I code the DIV to appear in the JS file ?
A: I advise you to try our new Javascript menu -- Deluxe Tabs,
http://deluxe-tabs.com.
This is a newer version of DHTML Tabs. It works better.
See, for each item you should assign the ID property of the contentDIV (see data file with your menu parameters).
["Style Name","contentName", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Style Description","contentDescription", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Style Variations","contentVariations", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Empty","", "", "", "", "", "2", "", "", ],
And on your html page you should create DIV's with such ID.
<div id="contentName" style="height: 0%; visibility: hidden;" class="tabPage">
<br><br><br>
<p align=center><img src="img/style01_title.gif" width=140 height=90 alt="Glass Style Tabs"></p>
<br><br><br>
You should paste your content here!!!!!
</div>
<div id="contentDescription" style="height: 0%; visibility: hidden;" class="tabPage">
<br><br><br>
<p align=center><img src="img/style01_title.gif" width=140 height=90 alt="Glass Style Tabs"></p>

You should paste your description here!!!!!

Q: Why is the submenu a different colour has a different colour than menu items - surely that's not an IE specific feature? The top-level menu items seem to be a different size too, so the layout in IE looks more even.
A: Submenus has a different color because they have a transparency:
var transparency="90";
Set it to 100.
Submenus also have larger width than top items because they containsmore text. If you want to wrap the text, use
tag between item words.
