Q: How do you configure settings so that on default a specific "Tab" is always set to on or shown as the preselected Tab in the javascript tab menu,I have a eStore page where I would like to insure that a specific Tab isalways shown on default and all others are hidden on the first revealingof the page?
Can you help?
A: Use he following parameters to set the selected top and submenu items:
var bselectedItem = 0;
var bselectedSmItem = 0;
Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab aslo.
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: I am just starting to work with deluxe menu for a site that I am developing. I will soon be going through the purchase of a license but have not yet reached that point.
At the moment though, as I build the framework for the site locally on my computer, I notice that the menu behave a looks differently in IE 6 and Firefox (I am focusing on a CSS base menu). Is this something that will be worked out once I have purchased the licensing key or is there something else that I am missing?
A: Deluxe Menu works fine in all browsers.
Try to set exact width for the menu width and menu height, try to specify unitsin "px":
var menuWidth="500px";
It's necessary to specify exact value for Mozilla browsers. It helpsto position menus correctly.
var menuHeight="20px";
You should also check your padding parameter, you should write it so:
var itemPadding="1px 1px 1px 12px";
You can also send us a copy of your html page (including .js files) ora direct link to your website, so we can check it.
Q: My Submenu is faded too quickly if I pull the mouse away from the java drop down menu.
A: You can try to use Deluxe Menu - this is a newer version of DHTMLMenu. You can use the following parameters there:
var smShowPause=200;
var smHidePause=5000;
Q: I am having a difficult time trying to integrate your menu into a frame system of my clients. The url that I am testing at is...
I believe that I have followed your instructions to the letter, but can't seem to get the cross-frame system to work. Any help would be appreciated.
A: Please, check dmWorkPath parameter. You should write in the followingway:
<SCRIPT type=text/javascript> var dmWorkPath = "nav_011907_files/";</SCRIPT>
See also how you should write your dm_init function
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 1, 2, 1);
Please, notice also that Deluxe Menu can work within 1 frameset only.
It can't work correctly within nested framesets. It is possible that you'll havesome errors.
