Q: Could I use the javascript menu system tab with ASP pages.
A: Deluxe Tabs is a javascript menu system. It works on aclient side and doesn't depend on server-side implementation.
So there is no limitation for server-side scripting.
Q: Could you please help me with another question?
I am using your regular dhtml menu inside an asp page.
I want to make a call to different javascripts with parameters from different menu items (Which should work fine.. )
I have now been trying to do this by using the alert() java metod....
This line works perfect:
["|Test A","javascript:alert('Test');", "", "", "", "", "0", "-1", "", ],
But if I try to write the same line within ASP brachets ( <% %> ) the menu does not show up:
<%
response.Write( " ['|Test A','javascript:alert('Test');', '', '', '', '', '0', '-1', '', ], " )
%>>
I have also found that if I remove the parameter inside the javascript like this:
<%
response.Write( " ['|Test A','javascript:alert();', '', '', '', '', '0', '-1', '', ], " )
%>>
the menu will show up and the script will work but since I can not insert any parameter it is pointless..
How can I achieve this?
I really hope you can help me with this one!
A: Try to write your code in the following way:
<%
response.Write( " ['|Test A','javascript:alert(\'Test\');', '', '', '', '', '0', '-1', '', ], " )
%>
Q: I want to buy your product today, but have a few questions:
How do I change the font style for java menu templates to 9pt Verdana bold, but leave the sub-menus 9pt Verdana normal? I understand there’s a "fontStyle" variable, but is there an "itemfontStyle"? How do I make the left hand padding greater for the menu? I’m using the XP Style 1 and the far left top menu item is running up against my left hand border. I want to add about 10px of spacing to the left of the menu. How do I make the options in a menu have equal spacing? For instance, if there are 5 items in the menu, how can each have 100% / 5?
A: You can use Individual Item styles to set specific parameters for eachitem or submenu.
1.
var fontStyle=["normal 9pt Verdana","normal 9pt Verdana"]; //for subitems
//style for the top items
var itemStyles = [
["itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=#F2F3F2,#1665CB","fontStyle='bold 9pt Verdana','bold 9pt Verdana'"],
];
2., 4. You should specify itemPadding parameter in "px". You shouldadd "px" in your style for subitems:
var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=#F2F3F2","menuBorderWidth=0","itemSpacing=1","itemPadding=4px","smOrientation=undefined"],
];
Notice also that you can set multiple value for itemPadding parameter,for example:
itemPadding=4px 10px 4px 10px
top right bottom left
4. You should set the exact width for the java menu templates:
var menuWidth="500px";
and set width for the top items using Individual styles:
["itemWidth=100px","itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=#F2F3F2,#1665CB","fontStyle='bold 9pt Verdana','bold 9pt Verdana'"],
Unfortunately it is not possible to specify item's width in '%' inIndividual styles. The following width parameters won't work.
var menuWidth="100%";
["itemWidth=20%","itemHeight=21px","itemBackColor=#F2F3F2,#1665CB","fontStyle='bold 9pt Verdana','bold 9pt Verdana'"],
Q: I haven’t had any problems using the drop line menu, until now when I had to make some changes. After adding some sub-menu items on two of the drop line menu buttons, those menu’s drop down upwards, instead of downwards like the rest. I tried deleting them and remaking them, but then the menu appeared to have no image behind it, only a colour. So I duplicated a working menu item, and then modified it to be what I wanted – and it still drop down upwards!
A: Please check the following drop line menu parameter:
var subMenuVAlign="top";
