Q: I am the trial version user of Taiwan.
And I would like to purchase the product "Deluxe Menu & DeluxeTree & Deluxe Tabs Developer License with JavaScript Sources" , but there is a question before I purchase.
Is there any extra charges for the version of Deluxe Menu getting upgrade in the future?
for example, v2.4 to v.3.6 ...... and so on.
A: All minor upgrades you'll get for free (for example, 2.4->2.7).
All major upgrades you'll get for free during 1 year (for example, 2.4->3.0).
For example, if there's some major upgrades (1.7 -> 2.0 -> 4.0)you'll get them for free during one year.
But if there'll be no major upgrades during some period (2.72 -> 2.81 -> 2.92). And after 3 year, for example, there will be major upgrade to 3.0. So you can upgrade for free.
We can offer you some discount for the major upgrade after one year.
Q: I have started with the deluxe - looks a little more confusing, but I will persist.
Just to confirm that this is right for me.
1) Will deluxe load quickly?.
2) Will it work with most browsers? Or will user need to download some sort of java file?
3) Can I use it with dreamweaver?
A: 1) Deluxe Menu generally loads faster than other page elements.
It is possible that the speed of showing the menu can be lower if the menu is very large. But it doesn't take so much time.
2) Deluxe Menu works fine in most of browsers on Windows OS, MAC OS, Linux/Unix OS.

You don't have to install additional software.
Your customer should change security settings in IE to allow Javascript on pages he loads.
When your security settings in IE doesn't allow Javascript onpages you load you can't see a dynamic page content.
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.
3) Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Dreamweaver/Frontpage extension,BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files. To install the menuinto your html page:
1. open the page in Dreamweaver/Frontpage
2. open html source code of the page
3. add several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:
http://deluxe-menu.com/installation-info.html
That's all.
To create and configure your menus use Deluxe Tuner application(included into the trial package):

Q: I have another question.. after I successfully click and load the data in to my window using the mouseover tab, the tab defaults back to the original default tab.
Because I have to reload my page after the tab has been selected the tab chosen is lost. What do you recommend for "remembering" the tab so that when the page reloads the correct tab is highlighted. I know that I need to set the var bselectedItem but if you have a "nifty" way for me to do that I am all ears.
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=<?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 am trying to use the following horizontal tabs menu:
http://deluxe-tabs.com/file/templates/deluxe-tabs-style-3.html
My problem is that the bitebackimage is not showing as you can see in the example below.
All the left and right side images appear, but not the repeating button background. All the images are in the same directory and have the same URL to point to them.
Any ideas on what the problem might be?
A: The reason is in your styles. Now you have in style.css file:
TABLE {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
TR {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
TD {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
You should write:
TABLE {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
TR {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
TD {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
