Recent Questions

Q: The home page of our website uses java script dhtml. The error comes up when attempting to select a tab for the first time; subsequent selections are fine. The error is something about an object being null. Probably just need to modify a function to test for null, but can't read the .js file because its obfuscated.

A: You should set the following java script dhtml parameter.

  var bselectedSmItem=0;

There are no subitems in your menu.



Q: It all works great under IE, but when you view it in Firefox the fly-out menus (off of Products, Services & About Us) do not appear over the Flash animation to the right in IE.

It works fine under Firefox on all other pages apart form Home, because Home is the only page with containing the Flash animation.

Could you please have a look and let us know if this is a known issue (we're using the latest 8 dmenu .js file, time-stamped 11 April 2006).

Thanks in anticipation.


A: Please, try to set this parameter:

  var dmObjectsCheck=1;


Q: Trying to install XP style floating dhtml slide down menu but have these problems:

- Menu does not stay within table cell
- Is not floating

A: > - DHTML slide down menu does not stay within table cell

You're using the floating feature now. Your dhtml slide down menu will float withabsolute position only. So, now you have:

  var tabsolute=1;
  var tleft="1px";
  var ttop="1px";

That is why your dhtml slide down menu does not stay within table cell and hasabsolute position.

> - Is not floating

Q: After I successfully click and load the data in to my window using the tab menu, 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.

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=   var bselectedSmItem=</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>
