Q: I have been working with the trial package for the last couple of days, of which I have been really impressed with. However there have been a couple of things that have frustrated me greatly...
The natural place that I first tried was replacing the "content1" line with a direct URL in the var bmenuItems section but this made no difference at all. I am also trying to work out what each set of "" equate to as I have found a couple of pages on the Internet very similar to this but none of them have nine different sections.
["Home","content1", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
Is it possible to allow one of the tabs on this template to just open another page? I look forward to your response in regards to these questions and hope to hear from you again soon so that I can crack on with this project.
A: You can't assign links in Dhtml Tabs when you're using var tabMode = 0;.
You can assign only the object's ID of <div> on your page.
Try to set var tabMode = 1;
and use links for your items.
Q: I recently started using a new software program on my home page and am running into an issue with your drop down menu in css working with this software.
Basically no matter what I change the DmZorder to drop down menu in css always shows up behind the dhtml windows that I am trying to use.
After working with their support team they have stated that they believe the problem exists within the menus and I am attaching a screenshot they sent me.
Can you please assist me in resolving this issue?
A: Try to delete the following properties from #main style:
POSITION: absolute; TOP: 0px; LEFT: 0px;
See the attached example.
Set also units in "px":
var itemPadding="2px";
It helps to display the drop down menu in css correctly in all browsers.
Q: How can I vary the width of the individual items (Home, Product Info etc) on the main menu bar?
A: I'm not sure I understand you. You want to use different width (exactwidth) for the main items?
You can use Individual Styles to set the width for the menu items.Please, use Deluxe Tuner to create your individual styles.
You should write for example so:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=98px"], // style 0
["itemWidth=100px"], // style 1
["itemWidth=110px"], // style 2
["itemWidth=120px"], // style 3
["itemWidth=95px"], // style 4
];
var menuItems = [
["","", "data.files/products.gif", "data.files/products_mo.gif", "Products", "_self","0" , , , ],
["|XLCubed Excel Edition","pro_excel.html", "data.files/iconBlue.gif", "data.files/iconWhite.gif", , "_self", , "0", , ],
["|XLCubed Web Edition","pro_web.html", "data.files/iconBlue.gif", "data.files/iconWhite.gif", , "_self", , "0", , ],
["|TM1 Connection","tm1Connection.htm", "data.files/iconBlue.gif", "data.files/iconWhite.gif", , "_self", , "0", , ],
["|Downloads","downloads.htm", "data.files/iconBlue.gif", "data.files/iconWhite.gif", , , , , , ],
["","", "data.files/demoCenter.gif", "data.files/demoCenter_mo.gif", , ,"1", , , ],
Q: Normally, when the list of items under a menu is longer (tall) than the browser, the menu will follow (auto scroll) with your cursor.
When I use cross frames, and the list is longer (tall) than the frame area, it will not auto scroll.
Am I missing a setting somewhere?
A: Unfortunately, it is really so.
You can't use "auto scroll" in cross frame mode. You should to scroll your page.
