Q: I've been playing with this product and it does exactly what I need so far!.

My problem question is this:-

The menu I have created shows a several icons that activate cgi code on the web server. What I want to know is can these drop down menus change the image when an icon is actually pressed?

I trying to find how I can present the user with a button pressed in image when the icon is clicked and maintain that image until another icon in that menu is pressed?

Can this be done? If not is it something you can do for me at a cost?

A: See more info about pressed item here:

Q: When I add links to the java pop up menu items, the mouse icon does not change to the usual pointer on hover. Any ideas?

A: You should set the following java pop up menu parameter:

  var itemCursor="pointer";



Q: I want to use java sliding menu Deluxe as a data-entry system. I can see how to use the dynamic facilities to allow the user to create and populate nodes but at the end of the client's work I would like them to hit 'submit' on a form and pass all data they have created to the server for processing. How do I pass the data back to the server in the java sliding menu?

A: You are able to paste any html code within java sliding menu items.

For example:

  var tmenuItems = [
...
["<nobr><FORM method=GET action='http://www.google.com/custom'><input name='as_q' value='searchthe web' size=15 style='font-size:10'>&nbsp;<INPUT type=hidden name=cof value='LW:144;L:http://domain.edu/images/sulogo.gif;LH:45;AH:center;GL:0;S:http://domain.edu;AWFID:e01cb67b8afe383e;'> </form></nobr>","", "images/icons/search.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],

You should write your own code within menuItem.



Q: I have been working with the trial package for the last couple of days, of which I have been really impressed with. However there have been a couple of things that have frustrated me greatly...

The natural place that I first tried was replacing the "content1" line with a direct URL in the   var bmenuItems section but this made no difference at all. I am also trying to work out what each set of "" equate to as I have found a couple of pages on the Internet very similar to this but none of them have nine different sections.

["Home","content1", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],

Is it possible to allow one of the tabs on this template to just open another page? I look forward to your response in regards to these questions and hope to hear from you again soon so that I can crack on with this project.


A: You can't assign links in Dhtml Tabs when you're using   var tabMode = 0;.
You can assign only the object's ID of <div> on your page.

Try to set   var tabMode = 1;
and use links for your items.
