Q: I was looking for a feature to reverse the order of items added dynamically to the drop down html menu
I'm not sure where to find it or how to go about getting this new feature incorporated into my code.
Could you please help me and tell me where to go next?


A: To add your items dynamically in the specific position you should usethe following function:

dm_ext_addItemPos(mInd, smInd, iParamsArr, Pos)
where Pos - the position in the menu where you want to add new item(starts with 0).

Check that you have dmenu_dyn.js file in the same folder with dmenu.js
file and set
  var dynamic=1;
parameter.


Q: Do you have a list of which browsers and which operating system platforms that your DHTML Menu is compatible with?

Q: When I click between tabs, only one tab remains in its active state for a dhtml tab navigation.
Why isn't the tab changing to look "active" to reflect the page that it's on?
Please let me know where this setting is.


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

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=<?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>

Try that.




Q: I am totally confused by this now but I have 2 data files - one for a menu bar going horizontal and one going vertical both containing the same information. But even though the content is the same, the layout is different.

You will see that on the horizontal menu,

Fleet
Financce
CPC Cards
Cashire

These are listed correctly under each other but on the vertical one, the layout differs.


A: You should write your parameters more carefully.
See, now you have

menuItems = [
["About us","javascript:alert('Coming Soon')", , , ,"" ,0 , , , ],
   ["|||Organisation Chart","javascript:alert('Coming Soon')", , , ,"" ,1, , , ],

First you have the 1-st level of menu items then at once 4-th. It isnot right. You should write the number of your Individual Style in ""also.

See, how you should write your menuItems:

menuItems = [
["About us","javascript:alert('Coming Soon')", , , ,"" ,"0" , , , ],
 ["|Organisation Chart","javascript:alert('Coming Soon')", , , ,"","1", , , ],
 ["|Who's Who?","/k6intranet2.nsf/PageTitleLookup/Who's Who?OpenDocument", , , ,"" ,"1", , , ],
