Q: Is there a way to programmatically specify which tab is selected in the drop down menu using javascript?
What I mean is, I want to set the selected tab programmatically (Not clicking the tab).
A: Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab.
If your site is written on PHP you can set "bselectedItem" and "varbselectedSmItem" parameters based on your link beforeyou call your data file.
For example, move "bselectedItem" and " var bselectedSmItem" parametersfrom your data file to your code.
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem=<?php echo $seltabs; ?>;
var bselectedSmItem=<?php echo $selsmtabs; ?>;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
You should define seltabs and selsmtabs using server side script.
You can also set it on every page before you call data.js file, forexample:
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem=4;
var bselectedSmItem=3;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
Q: How do I add padding around a top item in the javascript menu buttons?
A: You should specify itemPadding parameter in "px".
You shouldadd "px" in your style for subitems:
var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=#F2F3F2","menuBorderWidth=0","itemSpacing=1","itemPadding=4px","smOrientation=undefined"],
];
Notice also that you can set multiple value for itemPadding parameter,for example:
itemPadding=4px 10px 4px 10px// top right bottom left
Q: I am having a difficult time trying to integrate your menu into a frame system of my clients. The url that I am testing at is...
I believe that I have followed your instructions to the letter, but can't seem to get the cross-frame system to work. Any help would be appreciated.
A: Please, check dmWorkPath parameter. You should write in the followingway:
<SCRIPT type=text/javascript> var dmWorkPath = "nav_011907_files/";</SCRIPT>
See also how you should write your dm_init function
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 1, 2, 1);
Please, notice also that Deluxe Menu can work within 1 frameset only.
It can't work correctly within nested framesets. It is possible that you'll havesome errors.
Q: I ordered & installed the dhtml collapsable menu.
I can't seem to get the floating function to work. Here's how I have the variables set in the data-tree.js file:
var tfloatable = 1;
var tfloatIterations = 10;
var tfloatableX = 0;
var tfloatableY = 1;
And here are the links to the .js files in my HTML doc <head>:
<!-- Deluxe Tree -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">JavaScript Tree Menu by Deluxe-Tree.com</a> </noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var tWorkPath="tree-menu/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="tree-menu/dtree.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="tree-menu/dtree_add.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="tree-menu/dtree_dyn.js"></script>

A: Notice, your dhtml collapsable menu won't float with relative position. You shouldset:
var tabsolute=1;
