Q: I am trying to use your Deluxe-Tabs, to use on our wwebsite, and to be honest, I am not much of a developer. So please forgive me for my naпve question(s). I have been trying to get 'Content' in to the tabbed dhtml menu build, and I cannot find how that is done.
Do you have an example with all the files (html too!) that shows a simple tabbed dhtml menu build with content for each Tab that I can look at to see how it is done.
I thought I was going to be able to generate the TABs, and point them to the HTML files I want them to use, and each time I selected a tab, that page would be displayed. That does not appear to be what is happening.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
A: You should specify any Object ID name of the DIV.
See, for each item you should assign the ID property of the contentDIV (see data file with your dhtml menu build 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. You canset background image for these DIV's in styles.
<div id="contentName" style="height: 0%; visibility: hidden; background-image: url('img/back.jpg'); background-repeat:repeat-y;" 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!!!!!

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 ran across your site on a search engine and downloaded the trial copy. I am playing around with it and have successfully generated a menu bar which I wanted to try and test out. I have followed the directions for installing it on my trial page of my website and can not get it to work. I am not sure what I am doing wrong . I would truly love to buy this, but even with following the installation instructions, I can not get free javascript drop down menu to work. I use Dreamweaver to build my site.
A: Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension and wedon't have plug-ins for it. To install the menu into your html page:
1. create and save .js file with your menu parameters in Deluxe Tuner(you can use "File/Save as/HTML" function).
You can enter any name you like, for example enter "menu". So you'llhave menu.html, menu.js files and "menu.files" folder with all menu files.
2. open your .html page in Dreamweaver
3. Copy generated menu.js file and "menu.files/" folder in the same folderwith your index.html page.
4. Open generated menu.html in any text editor and copy several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:
http://deluxe-menu.com/installation-info.html
<head>
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">free javascript drop down menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu.js"></script>
...
</body>
That's all.Q: I am trying to have the selected top item in the pop up menu remain on the mouseover event after it is selected.
It seemed to be working fine when i was just testing with # as a link
but when i actually linked to different pages it returns to normal.
How do i get this to work?
A: You can find more info here:
http://www.deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html
Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
