Q: When I click between tabs, only one tab remains in its active state for a dhtml tab navigation.
Why isn't the tab changing to look "active" to reflect the page that it's on?
Please let me know where this setting is.
A: Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab.
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>
Try that.

Q: Can you tell me what fields control the lines around the top level of menu items?
What fields control the lines around each sub-menu item?
I would like to test and see if the program will allow me to create a top menu that displays as follows:
Home | Proposal Reponses | Marketing Info |
As you can see I would like no borders around the top level and a tilda (vertical line) separator between each top level menu item.
For the sub-menu items I would like there to be a thin line box around the sub-menu but no lines in between each item within the sub-menu. What fields control these paramenters?
A: Home | Proposal Reponses | Marketing Info |
Yes, you can create such menu.
Please, use Individual styles.
Set these parameters:
var menuBorderWidth=1;
var menuStyles = [
["menuBorderWidth=0"], //style 0
];
["Home","testlink.html", , , , , , "0", , ], //style 0
["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , , , , ],
To add lines between main items you can paste the separators.
Please, see the following parameters:
//------- Separators -------
var separatorWidth = "10";
var separatorHeight = "20";
var separatorAlignment = "center";
var separatorImage = "C";
var separatorVWidth = "150";
var separatorVHeight = "10%";
var separatorVImage = "image.jpg";
You can create separators using menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],
];
