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: How to include the search box? With javascript menu maker there is not the option...
A: Use the following javascript menu parameter to enable/disable the "search support" for the Deluxe menu:
var dmSearch=2;
0-nosearch; 1-ordinary search (within one level of submenus only); 2-recursive (within the whole menu).
Set item's link to "search:", for example:
["","search:value='search...' style='border:1px;width:60px;height:14;font-size:10px;'", "", ],
Q: I am trying to have the selected top item in the pop up menu remain on the mouseover event after it is selected.
It seemed to be working fine when i was just testing with # as a link
but when i actually linked to different pages it returns to normal.
How do i get this to work?
A: You can find more info here:
http://www.deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html
Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<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>
<script type="text/javascript"> var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
Q: However, when I place it inside a CSS-defined div element (for absolute page placement) the submenu's all drop down a couple hundred pixels.
A: See, the problem is that the script can't get css properties of the object if they are described in separate .css block (or file).In other words, you can't get the value of "POSITION: absolute" attribute of the object if the object doesn't have this property within inline style (style="POSITION:absolute;"). To get the value you should move .css style into style="" attribute.
Please, try to add your
css file -> inline css, for example:
You should add style="POSITION: absolute;"
to the
<div id="menu">
So, you'll have:
<DIV id="menu" style="POSITION: absolute;">
Try that.
