Q: Trialling your menu maker. Was trying to get the tabs dhtml menu bulder working,but it gives me the error "Tabs[...].id is null or not an object" within the program and under IE7, but not under Mozilla Firefox. Obviously the tabs will be used on my website, of which 80-90% of traffic is MS-IE.
Do you know about this problem, and is there a fix. This will be a major stumbling block against me buying the product if this problem is not fixable.
A: Try to set the following dhtml menu bulder parameter:
var bselectedSmItem=0;
Q: I want to set links in a text, which opens html pop up window and not to open the Window on start.
A: You can specify the ID of the element you want to click on.
Actions sections in Deluxe Tuner, onClick parameter.
1) You can show the popup window when you hover, click or mouseout on some elements on yourpage.
For example you have:
<p><img border="0" src="images/submenu-bg.gif" width="170" height="29" id="open_popup"></p>
So, in Deluxe Tuner you should enter 'open_popup' object ID in the onMouseOver,onClick or onMouseOut fields.
Actually you can assign id to any object on your page:
add id="open_popup" for <a>, <div>, <img> ... tags.
2) You can also use deluxePopupWindow.open() function to open the popups.
More info about deluxePopupWindow.open() function you can find:
http://deluxepopupwindow.com/window-installation-info.html
function deluxePopupWindow.open("winID", "content", "header", "param", "skin", "contentType")
Use another winID (first parameter) than you have in your data file
if you don't want to close 1-st popup window or use thesame winID=win if you want to close 1-st popup.
content - will be the path to the file you want to load in your popup (files/test.html)
skin - is the name of your skin (default in my example)
contentType - set this parameter to iframe.
Q: The problem that I am still experiencing (Im sure I have missed something obvious!) - is that all the pages open when you click on the relevant links but they always open with the "About Us" tab showing and then as soon as you click on a different tab you see it highlight for a second and then it just reverts back to the About Us tab even though the page has changed. As the site opens I obviously want the first tab to be highlighted as opposed to the 2nd one and the each page highlights and holds as you go through the menu.
A: See, you set
var bselectedItem=2;
That is why "About us" tab is selected.
You should change the selected tab depending on the page you are now.
This Tabs menu can save pressed item automatically within1 page only. If you open another page, the menu can't remember presseditem. You should do that manually using Javascript and menu parameters( var bselectedItem) or using any server-side script (php, asp, etc.)
Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab.
If your site is written on PHP you can set "bselectedItem" parameter based on your link beforeyou call tabs-kasper.js file.
For example, move "bselectedItem" parameter from tabs-kasper.js file to yourcode.
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem=<?php echo $seltabs; ?>;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="tabs-kasper.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
You should define seltabs using server side script.
You can also set on every page before you call tabs-kasper.js file(for example, for solution tab).
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem=4;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="tabs-kasper.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
Try that.
Q: I purchased the most recent version of "Deluxe Menu & Tree & Tabs & Window Multiple Website License", and now can't open menus from previous versions. When I try to open a custom drop down menu that was created in an older version, I get the error:
Can't open the file:
c:\webs\ltron\ltronmenudata.js
Check youre encode parameter
This happens on all of the older menus that we're trying to update............Do I have to run some type of conversion program on older menu files?
Please let me know as quickly as possible.........we have over 100 custom drop down menus out there and now it seems that we can't edit them!
A: This message means that you should change the encoding:
"Tools/Use utf8 encode"
Change this setting and then open your data files.
