Q: Greetings. How do I make a menu item as default selected and open when the page loads with the dhtml menu bar script? Thanks.

A: 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">dhtml menu bar script 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 dhtml menu bar script 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: I have been playing around with the demo version 2.4 of deluxe tabs, and have a couple of questions & comments:

Deluxe Tabs appears to not work at all on Windows Vista machines running Internet Explorer. This includes for example that the content in the dhtml tabs simply does not appear. Is there a fix for this?

Just want to make sure I can resolve these issues before making a purchase.

A: Try to use the latest version of Deluxe Tabs v3.2.9.

Try to delete height: 0%; parameter from the styles:

<div id="content1" style="height: 0%; visibility: hidden;" class="tabPage">

So you'll have:

<div id="content1" style="visibility: hidden;" class="tabPage">


Q: I am having great problems making my tab working, I seems to select the second tab by default.

I have looked in your frequent asked questions and tried the below suggestion, I have not used the registered domain as I am in the process of design.

  var bselectedItem = 3;

Where 3 is the number of your menu item from the   var bmenuItems parameter.
  var bmenuItems =
[
["Mac Tab 1", "content1"],
["Mac Tab 2", "content2"],
["Mac Tab 3", "content3"],
["Mac Tab 4", "content4"], // selected tab
];
The ID of the item starts with 0.
Try that.

But without success?

Any idea?

Please advice


A: See, the ID of the item starts with 0.

So, if you use TabMode (  var tabMode=1;):

  var bselectedItem = 10;

["-", ] - separator, ID = 0
["Mac Tab 1", "content1"], ID = 1
["Subitem1","testlink.html",] ID = 2
["Subitem2","testlink.html",] ID = 3
["Mac Tab 2", "content2"], ID = 4
["Subitem1","testlink.html",] ID = 5
["Subitem2","testlink.html",] ID = 6
["Mac Tab 3", "content3"], ID = 7
["Subitem1","testlink.html",] ID = 8
["Subitem2","testlink.html",] ID = 9
["Mac Tab 4", "content4"], // selected tab ID = 10
["Subitem1","testlink.html",] ID = 11
["Subitem2","testlink.html",] ID = 12

If you use tabs (  var tabMode=0;):

  var bselectedItem = 2;

["-", ] - separator, ID = 0
["Mac Tab 1", "content1"], ID = 1
["Mac Tab 2", "content2"], ID = 2 // selected tab
["Mac Tab 3", "content3"], ID = 3
["Mac Tab 4", "content4"], ID = 4


Q: I have inherited a project to finish which makes use of your java script tree menu.

I have not used your product. Is there a user’s guide/manual I can download?

A: Unfortunately we don't have step by step tutorial yet.
We'll try to create it in the nearest time.

1. Create your menu in Deluxe Tuner application.You can create any menu you like in Deluxe Tuner.

Deluxe Tuner v3.0 supports Deluxe Menu (http://deluxe-menu.com) &Deluxe Tree (http://deluxe-tree.com) & Deluxe Tabs (http://deluxe-tabs.com)

You can use ready to use templates. You can find them in the templateswindow.

When you open Deluxe Tuner ( Deluxe Tree ) you can click "File/New"and add items and subitems using buttons "Add Item" and "Add Subitem" onthe main window.
You should set items and subitems parameters on the "Item Parameters"window.
See also other parameters for the java script tree menu on the main window.

More info about menu parameters you can find on our site
http://deluxe-tree.com/parameters-info.html
http://deluxe-tree.com/menu-items-info.html


You can also use Individual Styles for items and subitems
http://deluxe-tree.com/individual-item-styles-info.html
http://deluxe-tree.com/individual-submenu-styles-info.html


2. You should install the java script tree menu on your page.
You can click, for example, File/Export to HTML (you can't do it inthe MAC version).

Add several rows into your html page.

<head>
...
<!-- Deluxe Tree -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">Javascript Tree Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">  var tWorkPath="deluxe-tree.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-tree.files/dtree.js"></script>
...
</head>


<body>
...
<table>
<tr><td><script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-tree.files/data.js"></script></td></tr> //data-deluxe-tree.js - data file created in Deluxe Tuner.
</table>
...
</body>

You should also copy all engine files
dtree.js
dtree_add.js

dtree_ajax.js
into "deluxe-tree.files/" folder. You should place this folder in thesame folder with your index. html page.

Try that.
