Q: Hi there. I am evaluating your tabs before I purchase and I ran into a small problem. If I can get this resolved I am ready to purchase.
I need to be able to execute some javascript when I click on a tab. What I am planning on doing is I want to dynamically set the location.href property of an iFrame located inside of a content div.
I can't figure out how to do it. Any help will go a long way for me to decide to purchase. Thanks!
A: You can use your own javascript functions in the menu items.
You should paste "javascript:some_function()" into item's link field, for example:
["tab text","javascript: window.open('test.html', 'frameName')", ...],
or
["tab text","javascript: getURLForFrame()", ...],
Try that.
Q: There's no explanation of what to do after creating a dhtml menu example or where to paste the code, which files to upload..
A: 1. Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner.
When you open Deluxe Tuner you can click "File/New"
and add items and subitems using buttons "Add Item" and "Add Subitem" on
the main window.
You should set items and subitems parameters on the "Item Parameters"window.
See also other parameters for the menu on the main window.
More info about menu parameters you can find on our site
http://deluxe-tree.com/parameters-info.html

You can also use Individual Styles for items and subitems

2. You should install the menu on your page.
You can click, for example, File/Export to HTML (you can't do it inthe MAC version).
Save your data file.
Add several rows into your html page.
<head>
...
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var WorkPath="deluxe-menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
...
</head>
<body>
...
<table>
&tr><td>%lt;script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-menu.files/data.js"></script></td></tr> //data.js - data file created in Deluxe Tuner.
</tablegt;
...
</body>
You should also copy all engine files
dmenu.js
dmenu4.js
dmenu_add.js
dmenu_dyn.js
dmenu_key.js
dmenu_cf.js
dmenu_popup.js
dmenu_ajax.js
dmenu_search.js
into "deluxe-menu.files/" folder. You should place this folder in the
same folder with your index.html page.
Try that.
Q: That worked for the rollover drop down menu but I lost my drop shadow on the main menu. The sub-menus still have it. The preview has the drop shadow but when I view it in IE it is not there.
A: You should check the following parameters:
var shadowLen=3;
var shadowColor="#B1B1B1";
var shadowTop=1;
Q: I just noticed another problem: when I set dmObjectsCheck=1 and I click on a menu-item of the dropdown menu nothing happens! No matter whether the banner is flash or not. And no matter if the browser is IE or Firefox. As soon as I set dmObjectsCheck=0 the submenu works again.
A: You should set the following parameter
var dmObjectsCheck=1;
You should also add dmenu_add.js file into the folder with yourdmenu.js file.
Please, check it.
