Q: I am trying to setup a popup tab menu like the one that you have on top part of your web pages (containing items; "Home", "Product Info", "Sample"...).
Right now I am using <div id=""> tag to load everything and break the content into each tab, but it is taking a long time to load everything first then break them down into tabs. So I thought maybe having each tab's content in each page, and have a link to each page would be more efficient. But when I put a link for each tab, for example "link:www.google.com" I get an javascript error saying "tabs[...].id is null or not an object". When I test this straight from Deluxe Tuner, I get the same message.
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong here? Or is there any better way to solve my problem? Thanks in advance.
A: Check that you have style=" visibility: hidden;" for your DIVs
<div id="content1" style=" visibility: hidden; height: 400px;" class="tabPage">
> But when I put a link for each tab, for example
> "link:www.google.com" I get an javascript error saying "tabs[...].id is
You should write:
link:http://www.google.com
Q: Does the Deluxe menu work to load pages into an iframe?
(name=iframe1) I can't find any info on this ...
A: Of course. Please, use this parameter:
var itemTarget = "frame_name";
Q: Tell us javascript code to select or highlight the tab and sub tab in javascript tabs navigation.
A: Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab.
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>
Q: Do you have an extremely simple example of modifying a menu with the JavaScript API? I've played with the example on the site, but I have trouble removing the other menus without breaking it.
I just want to use the API to change the icon on the menu items.
A: You should use the following function:
function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
<script language="javascript" >
dm_ext_changeItem(0, 0, 1, ["", "", "new_icon.gif", "new_icon_o.gif", "",,""]);
</script>
