Q: Hi, just a quick question, is it possible to change which tab is displayed when the page is first rendered.
For instance, if you have 4 tabs, going right to left, can you load the css menu tabs with the second tab being displayed first?
A: See, if you use Tab Mode
var tabMode = 1;
var bselectedItem = 0; //main items
var bselectedSmItem = -1; //submenus
If you use
var tabMode = 0;
var bselectedItem = 0;
See, the ID of the item starts with 0.
So, if you use TabMode ( var tabMode=1;):
var bselectedItem = 4;
["-", ] - 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 // selected tab
["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"], 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: Does this mean that nothing needs to be installed on the server side to make javascript menu?
Here is why I am asking this:
We have a main "corporate" web site, which is going to use the Deluxe Menu. One of the links on the main site will launch a page, which is running on a separate web server (physically separate server, and not a load-balancing scenario). Since all of these pages should look identical to the users, they all have to use the exact same configuration and look&feel in Deluxe Menu. I was wondering if any "configuration" type settings are stored on the server. In other words, would we have to maintain the Deluxe Menu install on two separate servers?
A: There is no need to install anything on your server. You should onlycopy a folder with all engine files (dmenu.js, dmenu_add.js, ...) anddata file on your server. Then you should call these files on yourpages, for example:
<body>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.js"></script>

Actually you can copy deluxe menu files on the one server only anduse absolute paths.
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: My submenu is not display at the good position with Firefox.
Look at my web site with Firefox. Select item menu 'Inscription' and you'll see the problem.
Note: mainmenu.js is relative positioning. The table tag is absolute positioning.
A: Try to write so:
<TABLE id=Table60style="Z-INDEX: 803; LEFT: 295px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 114px">
<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD style="POSITION: absolute;"><NOSCRIPT><A href="http://deluxe-menu.com/">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</A></NOSCRIPT> <NOSCRIPT>MainMenu</NOSCRIPT>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript1.2 src="deluxe_files/MainMenu.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
</TR>
</TBODY>
</TABLE>
