Q: I did not see how you get the content of link value of the tab to display below css tab menu.
The closet I got was to click a tab and havea second window open up wit the content of the link.
A: See in Deluxe Tabs there are two modes:
1. var tabMode=0;
You can create only one level of tabs and assign Object Id's of the
DIV's to show when you click on the tab.
["XP Tab 1","content1", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 2","content2", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 3","content3", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 4","content4", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
2. var tabMode=1;
You can assign only links in this mode.
You should create top level items with subitems.
["XP Tab 1","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Link 1_1","http://deluxe-tabs.com", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 1_2","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 1_3","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 1_4","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 1_5","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 2","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Link 2_1","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 2_2","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 2_3","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 2_4","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 2_5","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 3","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Link 3_1","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 3_2","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 3_3","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 3_4","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 3_5","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
You can use Object ID as well as Link in both modes. Use the following prefixes within item's link field:
"object:" - means that there is object id after it;
"link:" - means that there is a link after it.
"javascript:" - means that there is a javascript code after it, for example:javascript:alert(\'Hello!\')
So, you should write for example:
["|Link 1_1","object:Content1_1", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
Q: The menu doesn't show the drop down sub items. If you would look at the script there are two sublinks for Accommodation which however is not visible when we are doing a mouseover. I have attached the revised data.js file with this mail. Please let me know if thre is anything else hat i need to look into.
A: You should set back color for your submenus.
For example you should create style and assign it for the subitems:
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#61420A,#B77D13","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid",,
"itemBorderColor=#3C2906,#3C2906"],//style0
];
["Accommodation","#", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|test1 text text","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ], //style0
["|test2 text text text text","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],//style0
You should also set the following parameters:
var itemAlign="left";
var subMenuVAlign="bottom";
Q: I can't seem to have a "contact us" menu item to work.
I've even tried a custom target with
<A HREF="mailto:
[email protected]"> </A>
command and get the following error:
Can you perhaps suggest a way you know that works?
A: Please, write so, for example:
["Contact us","mailto:[email protected]", , , , , , , ],
Q: I have just come across your page. I need to publish a mass of data on a site where javascript ist turned off. Is dynamic drop down menus able to work in an javascript free environment?
A: No, Deluxe Menu is Javascript menu.
When your security settings doesn't allow Javascript onpages you load you can't see a dynamic page content. So, you cannotsee your javascript menu at all.
