Q: I have read your FAQ’s on “When using mouse over tab menu, where do I place the text content related to the selected tab”, but I am still not understanding how to edit the script.
Cansomeone please assist me.
A: You should specify any Object ID name of the DIV.
See, for each item you should assign the ID property of the content
DIV (see data file with your menu parameters).
["Style Name","contentName", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Style Description","contentDescription", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Style Variations","contentVariations", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Empty","", "", "", "", "", "2", "", "", ],
And on your html page you should create DIV's with such ID.
You canset background image for these DIV's in styles.
<div id="contentName" style="height: 0%; visibility: hidden; background-image: url('img/back.jpg'); background-repeat:repeat-y;" class="tabPage">
<p align=center><img src="img/style01_title.gif" width=140 height=90 alt="Glass Style Tabs"></p>
You should paste your content here!!!!!
</div>
<div id="contentDescription" style="height: 0%; visibility: hidden;" class="tabPage">
<p align=center><img src="img/style01_title.gif" width=140 height=90 alt="Glass Style Tabs"></p>
You should paste your description here!!!!!

Q: I never succeed to see the images in the dhtml menu examples using my default folder hierarchy (ie : a folder for the html files and a folder for the js files). The only way for me was to create the data.files folder in the html folder. It works but it does not follow my production standard. Did I forget something ?
A: You should set relative paths according to your html page.
For example, you have such file structure:
web-content/
data/
dmenu.js
data.js
Artwork/
image.gif
...
pages/
1.html // page with the dhtml menu examples
2.html // page with the dhtml menu examples
...
So in Deluxe Tuner you should open image.gif file.
You will have, for example:
d:\webpages\site\web-content\Artwork\image.gif
Then you should delete "d:\webpages\site1\web-content\" and add ../prefix. The path will be:
../Artwork/image.gif
You can also set path_prefix
var pathPrefix_img = "../Artwork/";
Or you can try to use absolute paths, for example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
Q: I updated the files you talked about. I can see the javascript cascading menu on most computers, but not all. I am sorry to ask the same question over but my problem is persisting with some computers.
A: It is not correctly to add # symbol before the top item. This itemwill be hidden.
You can find more info here:
http://deluxe-tree.com/menu-items-info.html
Now you have:
["#FCLWD-SFCSD Home","http://www.fclwd.com/", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", ],
You should write:
["FCLWD-SFCSD Home","http://www.fclwd.com/", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", ],
Q: I've looked through the FAQ's till my eyes burned... I know how to collapse/expand all on page load, but can't find an answer to this specific question
I am using tsaveState=1 and tcloseExpanded=1 and that works great when navigating the javascript vertical tree menu. But I'd like to be able to tell the javascript vertical tree menu to collapse all the way on the initial page load, without resetting those first two variables.
for instance;
a user logs on, goes to the order page, uses the menu to navigate and place an order. After the order is processed through a php verification page, the user is directed back to the order page via the php header() function, with the menu still intact, and the values of the order updated.
But once the user navigates away from the order page, and then returns to complete another order, I'd like the menu items to all be collapsed.
If that's not an inherent design of your menu program, is there a variable that I can pass with the initial load that will cause a full collapse?
A: No, unfortunately there is no such parameter in Deluxe Tree.
But you can try to delete
var tsaveState=1;
parameter from your data file and add it on your html page directly.
So, on your initial page you can set:
var tsaveState=0;
and on other pages you should set:
var tsaveState=1;
