Javascript Menu. DHTML Menu.

  • There can be multi level menus - create as many rows or columns of the menu as you want.
  • Use a mouse to drag a menu as a usual window. Also you can construct the menu where each submenu can be "detached" from the main menu (MSOfficeToolbarLike mode).
  • When the page is scrolled the menu remains visible. The DHTML menu can "float" along one or two coordinate axes.

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>



Q: Is the Deluxe Tuner application compatible with Deluxe Popup Window?
I haven't been able to use the Deluxe Tuner to create any content through Deluxe Popup Window based on the instructions on the Deluxe Popup Window website.
I feel like I'm missing instructions somewhere.

A: There are 3 types of window content in popup window:Iframe(url); Object_id; text(html content).

You can set the type of the content in the Deluxe tuner (winContent parameter).
Change popup window parameters, use templates.
Then export your project to HTML "File -> Export - > To HTML".
Open the generated data file with all popup window parameters in any text editor and make changes to your content.

For example:

content:"<div style=\"text-align:center;\"><b>Sample content</b></div>This is a simpleHTML code for content. Here you may also set link to content page or ID of some element.",

If you'll have further questions - write us, we'll try to help you. You can also write us what content you want to add inside the popup window and we'll help you to create such popup.


Q: I would like when I click on what ever link of the php dhtml menu that the visited link stay in a different color and with a different background

A: Deluxe Tree doesn't save a presseditem as it saves a tree state. It works within 1 page only and if youreload the page you should set a pressed item using Javascript API:

function dtreet_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, itemID)

Please, see here:
http://deluxe-tree.com/functions-info.html

You can also set
  var tsaveState = 1;

More info you can find
http://deluxe-tree.com/data-samples/tree-menuxp-save-state.htm

To expand specific items you should use API functionfunction dtreet_ext_expandItem (itemID, expand)

Q: Under Opera everything works fine but under IE the submenu’s are way down the page and go off the bottom of the screen.


A: See, the problem is that the script can't get css properties of the object if they are described in separate .css block (or file).
In other words, you can't get the value of "position" attribute of the object if the object doesn't have this property within inline style(style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px;"). To get the value you should move .css style into style="" attribute.

Please, try to add your

css file -> inline css, for example:

You should add style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px;"

to the

<DIV class=department-menu>

So, you'll have:

<DIV class=department-menu style="POSITION: absolute;PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px;">
