Q: Is it possible to generate Kaspersky java tab menu from dynamic content?
i.e I have a web application which currently generates a certain number of tabs for content based on a users selection.
Can the Kapersky tabs be generated from dynamic content, or does it need to be hard coded for the number of tabs and placement?
A: Unfortunately, Deluxe Tabs doesn't have such a feature.
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.:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-tree.com">Javascript Tree Menu by Deluxe-Tree.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dtree.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2006, http://deluxe-tree.com -->
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
var parameter1=value1;
var parameter2=value2;
etc.
var tmenuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];
</script>
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:

This example is not for Deluxe Tabs menu, but you can create your menu in the same way.
Q: I would like to use it in a page containing two iFrames.
The iFrame called "nav" is where the menu will appear and the iFrame called "main" is where I want any sub-menu items to appear.
How can this be done given there are no "frameset" tags in this type of structure?
A: Deluxe Menu doesn't work with <IFrame> objects.
It works with<frameset> objects only. All it can to do with <IFrame> is to loadpages into it.
You should use standard installation for the menu.
Q: With menu tabs, I'm trying to dynamically set the bselectedItem parm, using php. If I set bselectedItem to anything other than 0, the submenu goes away and the main html tab javascript is not highlighted.
If I set to 0, everything works.
A: See, if you use Tab Mode
var tabMode = 1;
var bselectedItem = 0; //main items
var bselectedSmItem = -1; //submenus
So you should set:
var bselectedItem = 0; //main items (0;7;14;21;25)
var bselectedSmItem = -1; //submenus (1;2;3;4;5....)
Q: Also once you click a link and go to a new page, how do you get the java choice menu tab for that new page to stay the highlighted one?
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=<?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>
