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: How can I make items appear much more quickly in the drop down menu samples?
They appear but only after mouseing-over the menu and waiting for approximately one second.
A: Try to adjust the following parameters:
var dm_writeAll=0;
var smShowPause=100;
var smHidePause=1000;
var transDuration=150;
var transDuration2=200;
You can also turn off transitional effects
var transition=-1;
Q: I want the background highlight stay on after the item is pressed in navigation bar script.
A: You can set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dtreet_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, itemID)
Please, see here:
http://deluxe-tree.com/functions-info.html
You can also set
var tsaveState = 1;
More info you can find
http://deluxe-tree.com/data-samples/tree-menuxp-save-state.htm
To expand specific items you should use API function
function dtreet_ext_expandItem (itemID, expand)
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>
