Q: I am setting up a 3 tab script and each tab opens a new page but the state of the javascript tab menu selected reverts back to the default tab.а Howdo I keep the tab selected when advancing to the next tab (new page)?
A: You should change the selected tab depending on the page you are now.
This Tabs menu can save pressed item automatically within1 page only. If you open another page, the menu can't remember presseditem. You should do that manually using Javascript and menu parameters( var bselectedItem) or using any server-side script (php, asp, etc.)
Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab.
So, you can set "bselectedItem" parameter based on your link beforeyou call data.js file.
For example, move "bselectedItem" parameter from data.js file to yourcode.
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem=<?php echo $seltabs; ?>;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
You should define seltabs using server side script.
Q: My sub menus are not rendering correctly in IE8 RC1 when my Vista machine is set to 120 dpi. I did not notice this as a problem until I installed RC1 today.
A: The menu works correctly in IE8 RC1 (120 dpi), if your browser image any font incorrectly(Tahoma in that case) the menu couldn't correct this.
It is possible that the reason is in the filters. You can try to turn off filters orchange font:
var transparency="100";
var transition=-1;
Q: How can I open the links that I created for the web drop menu /sub-menu on the same window (not on a new window)
A: You can set target parameter for all items:
var itemTarget="_self";
or for each item individually:
["","testlink.htm","http://images.myregistry.com/images/myregistry/tabs/thingstodo.gif", "http://images.myregistry.com/images/myregistry/tabs/thingstodo1.gif", "Home Tip","_self", "0", "0", , ],
Q: I have a client that wants a menu bar with all the buttons the same length.
What code might I need to do that
A: You should use individual item styles (you can create it in Deluxe Tuner application). For example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=110px"], // 0 - number of the style
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", , , , , "0", , , ], // 0 - style 0
["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , "0", , , ], // 0 - style 0
["|Features","testlink.html", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , , , ],
["|Installation","", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , , , ],
