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://deluxe-tabs.com/.
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 of my mouseover tabs?
A: 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>
<br><br><br>
You should paste your description here!!!!!
</div>
You can paste any code within DIV's (PHP, Javascript ...)
Q: I'm interested in using DHTMLMenu in web applications I develop and have some questions about licensing.
My company develops web applications that act as front ends for clients' legacy mainframe programs. DHTML Menu would be of great benefit in adding navigation functionality to these applications. Each application is custom-developed for each client, so we don't have a pre-packaged product in which the menu would be used. Would the Developer License meet our needs for this sort of development?
Also, a small minority of our clients develop and distribute applications themselves based on the applications that we develop for them. Does the Developer License support transferable redistribution? If not, how much would a license that permitted this cost?
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
A: Yes, Developer License will suit you.
You can use it within your applications and distribute them.
Q: I really like how this works and I think it will wind up working for us, but I have a question. On the xp style dynamic tree menu, is there a way when you click one of the 'headers' that will open up other choices for example on your http://www.deluxe-tree.com/data-samples/tree-menuxp3.html tree. When youclick either the deluxe tree:xp style or the samples gallery or the samples gallery2 section, can you make it so it opens a page in another frame? The way it is now you it wont open a page until you click on the 'samples block 1' or below.
A: Actually you cannot use links for the top items in the XP Style.
But theoretically you can use links for the top items. You can write
["<a href='index.html' class='home' target="frame">Home</a>","", "", "", "", "Return to Index page", "", "0", "", ],
["<a href='http://www.domain.uk' class='home' target="frame">About Us</a>","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "", ],
["|Introduction","http://www.domain.uk/introduction.htm", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
