Q: The problem is now that I have a scroll bar in the main menus although there is nothing to scroll.

Do you have any ideas?


A: You've set the exact width and height for submenus.

  var smWidth = "100";
  var smHeight = "250px";
  var menuStyles = [
["smWidth=220px","smHeight=250px"],
["smWidth=200px","smHeight=250px"],
["smWidth=120px","smHeight=250px"],
];

Try to write:

  var smWidth = "";
  var smHeight = "";
  var menuStyles = [
[""],
[""],
[""],
];
There will be no scroll bar in the main menus.


Q: What do you recommend for "remembering" the tab in the js tab menu,
so that when the page reloads the correct tab is highlighted.

A: Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab aslo.

You can set "bselectedItem" and "  var bselectedSmItem" parametersbased on your link before you call your data file.

For example, move "  var 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=^lt;?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: I'm just trying to get those little vertical spacers between menu items in the drop down menu.How can I do it with Deluxe Menu.

A: Please, see the following parameters of the menu:
//------- Separators -------
  var separatorWidth = "10";
  var separatorHeight = "20";
  var separatorAlignment = "center";
  var separatorImage = "C";
  var separatorVWidth = "20";
  var separatorVHeight = "10%";
  var separatorVImage = "image.jpg";
You can create separators between items in the drop down menu using menuItems, for example:
  var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],  ["|item 3"],
 ["|-"], // this subitem is separator
 ["|item 4"],
];
