Recent Questions

Q: I am trying to create a tab menu and I have some questions.
I want each tab in a hover tab menu has a different image,
the normal and hover state uses the same image and the selected state uses a different image.




A: If you want to use different images you should use Individual Item Styles and assign them for your tabs.

  var bstyles = [

["bitemBackImage=deluxe-tabs.files/style04_n_back.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_s_back.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_s_back.gif",
"bbeforeItemImage=deluxe-tabs.files/style04_n_left.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_s_left.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_s_left.gif",
"bafterItemImage=deluxe-tabs.files/style04_n_right.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_s_right.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_s_right.gif"],

["bitemBackImage=deluxe-tabs.files/style04_2_n_back.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_2_s_back.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_2_s_back.gif",
"bbeforeItemImage=deluxe-tabs.files/style04_2_n_left.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_2_s_left.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_2_s_left.gif",
"bafterItemImage=deluxe-tabs.files/style04_2_n_right.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_2_s_right.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_2_s_right.gif"],

["bitemBackImage=deluxe-tabs.files/style04_3_n_back.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_3_s_back.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_3_s_back.gif",
"bbeforeItemImage=deluxe-tabs.files/style04_3_n_left.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_3_s_left.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_3_s_left.gif",
"bafterItemImage=deluxe-tabs.files/style04_3_n_right.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_3_s_right.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_3_s_right.gif"],
];

  var bmenuItems = [

["Item 1","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ], //style1
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ], //style2
["Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "2", "", "", ], //style3
];




Q: This is probably a really basic question, but I was wondering if
your dhtml menu maker makes it possible to determine the direction of the
drop down menu. In other words, my menu is at the bottom of the page
and I want the drop down list to actually go "up," not down.
Is that possible with your software?


A: Yes it is possible.

You should use the following parameter

  var subMenuVAlign="top"; //downward
  var subMenuVAlign="bottom"; //upward

  var subMenuAlign="left"; //from left to right
  var subMenuAlign="right"; //from right to left



Q: Can I install the menu using my buttons? I might be able to do it if the buttons used only one image, but they use two images. One is light and the other dark.

I also have some questions:
1) Will the menu stay in view when the user scrolls down?

2) I'm not even sure I care if the menu stays in view, because I believe that is done using php and is not good for SEO. The file that the search engines see is index.html while the file that visitors see is home.php. I think it would be better for SEO to have a normal .html page. Are you able to do that?


A: See how you should make image-based menus: if item text is empty, icon fields will be used as item images.
For example:
["", "index.html", "menu1a.gif", "menu1b.gif", "Home Page"]

1) You should use floatable feature.
See the following parameter:
  var floatable=1;

2) You can generate search engine friendly code using Deluxe Tuner:
"Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code".


Q: Is there a way to center floatable menus horizontally on a page?
I used to use absolutePos=0, and all of my menus were centered ok, but when I tried floatable=1 I found that I had to change toabsolutePos=1 to get the menu to float, and this messed up my centering. Since I have multiple menus of different widths, I'd rather not have to hard-code the menu width, but please let me know if there's a better way.


A: Notice, when you use floatable menu you can't use relative menu position.
So, if you use

  var absolutePos = 0;

and to center the menu you use <p> or <div> with the center alignment your menu won't float.
To center your floatable menu you should set absolute coordinates.
