Q: Hi There. I wanted to use your product, but couldn’t figure out how multiple users could get varying menus using the file driven approach.
I currently use a java menu that I build on the fly without any files.
The only thing I could come up with was having each user refer to his/her own data.js file, that I can build on demand.
Does that make sense to you?
A: Deluxe Menu is Javascript code only. It requires several .js files andit's generated on a client side.
Theoretically it is possible to have varying menus for multiple users.You should create your own server-side script (for example, php) thatwill change the menu for your users. The menu doesn't support such afeature.
Q: I have another question.. after I successfully click and load the data in to my window using the mouseover tab, the tab defaults back to the original default tab.
Because I have to reload my page after the tab has been selected the tab chosen is lost. What do you recommend for "remembering" the tab so that when the page reloads the correct tab is highlighted. I know that I need to set the var bselectedItem but if you have a "nifty" way for me to do that I am all ears.
A: 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 would like to open some javascript menu drop items in a JavaScript popup window of a certain size using something like this code:
window.open("FileName.asp,"PopName","scrollbars,toolbar=0,location=0,resizable=1, directories=0,menubar=0,width=575,height=375,left=100,top=100");
How can I do that?
A: I'm not sure I understand about what product you're saying. Could youclarify this?
You can write any HTML code within menuItems (Deluxe Menu):
["Home","javascript:window.open('FileName.asp,'PopName','scrollbars,toolbar=0,location=0,resizable=1, directories=0,menubar=0,width=575,height=375,left=100,top=100')", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["<a href="javascript:window.open('FileName.asp,'PopName', 'scrollbars,toolbar=0,location=0,resizable=1,directories=0,menubar=0, width=575,height=375,left=100,top=100')">Product Info</a>","", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
