Q: I've been trying to get the menu item in dynamic tree menu to stay highlighted when clicked on and directed to that page.
A: Tree Menu doesn't save a presseditem as it saves a tree state.
It works within 1 page only and if youreload the page you should set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function apyt_ext_setPressedItem(menuInd, itemID)
<script type="text/javascript">
var i = 4 //index of the selected item
onload=setPressed;
function setPressed()
{
dtreet_ext_setPressedItem(0,dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex(0, i));
}
To expand specific items you should use the following function:
dtreet_ext_expandItem (dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 11), 1);
Q: Also, when viewing the webpage with the dhtml list menu, my browser tells me that it is blocking scripts and ActiveX applications. I have to override it. Is there a way to prevent this so my customers don't get this message, or will it go away when I post it to my domain?
A: You should adjust your browser settings.
Tools/Internet Options/Advanced Options/
and set
"Allow active content from files to run on My Computer".
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.
Q: I am becoming more frustrated by the moment. I try to add more menu items, the default icons (images) disappear and I can't figure out how to get them back.
Is this a bug in your software or am I simply doing something wrong? Every time this happens, I have to start over and end up with the same results - lost or missing icons.
A: That's mean that you don't use Individual Item Styles for the newitems.
Please, see how you should use Individual Styles for the items similar the one which you're going tocreate and see it parameters.
You should use the same parameters for the new item.
Try that.
Q: What I have to do for the following problem:
When I press a tab, the new site will be load into the browser.
Great! BUT the pressed button is not be marked. Always the Tab 1 is blue. What's wrong??
A: 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 and var var bselectedSmItem) or using any server-side script (php, asp, etc.)
Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab.
If your site is written on PHP you can set "bselectedItem" and "varbselectedSmItem" parameters based on your link beforeyou call your data file.
For example, move "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 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>
