Q: I am having problems with the XP Taskbar Menu. When I use DOCTYPE in the following format, the task bar does not show up atall for the exception of a single line.
<!DOCTYPEhtmlPUBLIC"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
When I hover my mouse on top of that line the menu displays fine with no problems. So the problem is with the Start button and the taskbar – they do not show. Can you please advice on how to fix this problem while keeping the DOCTYPE as specified.
A: Try to set the exact width for the menu:
var menuWidth="685px";
Q: I recently purchased your Deluxe-Tabs product and I am trying to create tabs that occupy 100% width with each tab being equal width.
Right now when I specify 100% menu width all of the tabs are difference sizes (widths).
How do I control the individual tab width?
A: You should use Individual Item styles to achieve this effect.
See the attached example.
You should set:
var bmenuWidth="100%";
I have 5 items in my example, so I've created Individual Style
var bstyles = [
["bitemWidth=20%"],
];
And assign it for all items:
["Item 1 aaaaa ssssss","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 2 ffff jjjjjjjjjj","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 3 text text","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 4 text text","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 5 text text","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
But notice that items width cannot be smaller than the width of its'text. So it is possible that you'll have different size of some itemsif your window have a small size.
Q: Once more I have a small question about Deluxe Menu.
I have rewritten my homepage (still off-line) to use stylesheets instead of frames. But for some reason the drop down menu templates won't appear anymore.
Does DM need frames or can it also work without frames? I would suppose that it can also work on a page with no frames. But for some reason I can't seem to get it to work.
A: If you don't use frames there is no need to write your init functionin the following way:
dm_initFrame("lower", 0, 1, 1);
That is way you cannot see your menu.
Please, write:
dm_init();
Q: I would like when I click on what ever link of the php dhtml menu that the visited link stay in a different color and with a different background
A: Deluxe Tree doesn't save a presseditem as it saves a tree state. It works within 1 page only and if youreload the page you should set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dtreet_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, itemID)
Please, see here:
http://deluxe-tree.com/functions-info.html
You can also set
var tsaveState = 1;
More info you can find
http://deluxe-tree.com/data-samples/tree-menuxp-save-state.htm
To expand specific items you should use API functionfunction dtreet_ext_expandItem (itemID, expand)
