Q: I would love to buy your product BUT, I am not sure if it will do what I want - can I call javascript within the dynamic menu?
For example my old page for disaster recovery we have inserted a URL substitution :
The javascript function is called at the top of the nav page:
<script LANGUAGE = "JavaScript" SRC = "../urlSub.js"> </script>
then the link on the nav menu
<a> href="#" ONCLICK = "urlSubstitution('transco/sheet.asp?stype=1')">Table of Contents </a>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOWEVER, Im not sure if this is possible with your product?
A: Yes, it is possible.
Actually you can use your own Javascript code instead standard links and html code inside item text. For example:
var menuItems = [
["text", "javascript:your_code_here"]
];
or
var menuitems = [
["<div onClick='urlSubstitution(\'transco/sheet.asp?stype=1\')'>Table of Contents</div>", ""]
];
Q: Hello, I am interesting in purchasing your product, but first I need to know if it is possible to call a JavaScript function from the menu. I have read the FAQ and noted where it lists that you can perform an alert call, and that worked on my end as well, but when I attempted to call a function I created I could not get it to respond. Is it possible to call a function from your menu? Could I get an example?
A: You can write your own functions within menuItems, for example:
["|Real-Time Data Query","javascript:window.open('http://www.domain.org/', '_blank','height=758,width=1024,status=yes,toolbar=no, menubar=no,location=no');",,,'Query real time water quality data' ,'' , '', '', ,],
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: Now it works fine in Firefox and mostly in IE.... Only problem... In IE...
When the page with dhtml tab menu first loads ... It does not load the content of the first DIV....
It's fine in Firefox...now IE just does not load the first div... I've tried added a JS function to set to visible the first DIV onLoad...but that does not work either...
Is there anyway to hard-code in ...to set the first DIV to visible?
A: I've just checked your website. Your dhtml tab menu work correctly.
You should check that you use correct value of
var bselectedItem=1;
parameter.
That is mean that second item in menuItems array will be highlighted.
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ], //0
["About","content1", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ], //1
["FAQs","content2", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ], //2
["Before & Afters","content3", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ], //3
["Pre/Post Care","content4", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ], //4
["Special Offers","javascript:location.href = '../specials/index.htm'", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ], //5
Now you have also:
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-tabs.js"></script>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="500">
<tr>
<td align=center valign=top>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width=500 height=250 align=center>
<tr>
<td valign=top height=1>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../scripts/templates/tabs-opera.js"></script>
</td>
</tr>
I think that it is not correct. You should write:
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="500">
<tr>
<td align=center valign=top>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width=500 height=250 align=center>
<tr>
<td valign=top height=1>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-tabs.js"></script>
</td>
</tr>
