Q: I'm loving your product! It has definitely made my life easier.
I do have a question however. I know if I put a "+" in front of the title, the category will be expanded by default.
["+PRODUCTS","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Is there a way to do that dynamically? Maybe have some code that would tell the sliding tree menu to expand on that particular page?
A: On your pages you should call the following function/functions to expand/highlight items, for example:
<script>
dtreet_ext_expandItem (dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 0), 1);
dtreet_ext_setPressedItem (0, dtreet_ext_getItemIDByIndex (0, 1));
</script>

Q: I am trialing your tab menus at the moment and plan to use them on my website. I think they are excellent. I have been trying to work something out and hope you can help me. I have a nice menu set up, and want to change web pages when one of the tabs is clicked. How can the new page have the same java jump menu, but with a different tab activated? I can only seem to get this to work with a menu on a page that goes nowhere. I would have to pass a new value to bselectedItem but I don't know how.
A: Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab.
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>
Try that.
Q: How ever there is still one major issue that need to be solved before we open to site to the public and occurs when the form used by the 2020 Datashed application to search an item (page listing.asp) is used together with the Delux dropdown menu.
When the Delux dropdown menu display their data, it is possible to 'see' the information of the 2020 search form through it. The over all effect is some kind of transparency in the page that is not acceptable.
In the attached snapshot is an image of the web page that shows the effect that we want to avoid.
This effect only happens on the head area of the 2020 search form that I have marked with a red rectangle. The main body of the form, marked in blue, does not have this transparent effect.
I wonder if it is possible eliminate the transparency in javascript menu systems changing the adequate css file that is used in the red area, using the same css code that is applied in the blue area.
My solicitude for help is about this issue, could you advice about this matter and pinpoint the css file and instruction than can make this change, or there is another way to make the same result?
A: Try to set the following parameter:
var transparency="100";
