Q: I am trying to use the following horizontal scrolling tabs:
http://deluxe-tabs.com/file/templates/deluxe-tabs-style-3.html My problem is that the bitebackimage is not showing as you can see in the example below.
All the left and right side images appear, but not the repeating button background. All the images are in the same directory and have the same URL to point to them.
Any ideas on what the problem might be?
Any style tab menu that I use produces the same results.
A: The reason is in your styles. Now you have in style.css file:
TABLE {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
TR {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
TD {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
You should write:
TABLE {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
TR {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
TD {
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
}
Try that.
Q: Could it be possible to explain to me how to create cross-frame horizontal navigation bar..
A: To initialize the cross frame menu call dm_initFrame()
function instead of standard dm_init() function within data.js file:
dm_initFrame(framesetID, mainFrameInd, subFrameInd, orientation);
framesetID - id attribute of the frameset;
mainFrameInd - index of the main frame (where the top-menu is placed), >=0;
subFrameInd - index of the subframe (where the submenus will be shown), >=0;
orientation - frame orientaion: 0 - top-to-bottom, 1 - left-to-right; 2 - bottom-to-top; 3 - right-to-left.
So you should create your menu in Deluxe Tuner, save it.
Create html file with your frame set.
Set ID for the first frameset:
<FRAMESET id=frmSet rows=220,*>
<FRAME id=frame1 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/cross-frame-horizontal-1.htm"> //menu frame
<FRAME id=frame2 name=frame2 src="Deluxe Menu Samples_files/testlink.htm"> //content frame
</FRAMESET>
Then you should open your data file in any text editor and changedm_init();
for example to dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);

Q: Where do I add my "blahblah.htm" page links in js menu?
Copy of menu data below. I assume it is between the first pair " " but not sure about all the , , , , , "0" etc following.
["Home","", , , , , "0", , ],
["Contact","blahblah.htm", , , , , "0", , ],
["|Hosts","", , , , , , , ],
A: You're right, the following syntax is correct:
["Contact","blahblah.htm", , , , , "0"]
Here is the format for a menu item:
["text", "link", "icon1", "icon2", "tip", "target", "styleIndex"]
Please, try to use Deluxe Tuner application to configure your menu:

Q: Can I use data from a SQL server using ASP for drop down menu code?
A: You may generate a menu from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.
However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files,
so, you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2006, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
var parameter1=value1;
var parameter2=value2;
etc.
var menuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];
Unfortunately we don't have examples with ASP and SQL.
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:
