Q: I recently purchased your Deluxe-Tabs product and I am trying to create tabs that occupy 100% width with each tab being equal width.
Right now when I specify 100% menu width all of the tabs are difference sizes (widths).
How do I control the individual tab width?
A: You should use Individual Item styles to achieve this effect.
See the attached example.
You should set:
var bmenuWidth="100%";
I have 5 items in my example, so I've created Individual Style
var bstyles = [
["bitemWidth=20%"],
];
And assign it for all items:
["Item 1 aaaaa ssssss","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 2 ffff jjjjjjjjjj","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 3 text text","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 4 text text","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 5 text text","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
But notice that items width cannot be smaller than the width of its'text. So it is possible that you'll have different size of some itemsif your window have a small size.
Q: Question: How do you enable or configure settings so that on default a specific "Tab" is always set to on or shown as the preload tab, I have a eStore page where I would like to insure that a specific Tab is always shown on default and all others are hidden on the first revealing of the page? Can you help?
A: Use the 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 have the dynamic dropdown menu working perfectly on the main page of the website, but when I try to install it onto html files that appear in subfolders of the site, the images do not appear. I have put ../ before all the links I can find and have the following codes placed in my file, what am I doing wrong?
A: You can use additional parameters to make dynamic dropdown menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Please, try to use these parameters.
