Q: I am getting stuck with trying to set a default tab in the div tab menu to be selected when a window opens...
What I've been trying to do is changing this line here :

  var bselectedItem=0;

At 0 (default) it has the first tab selected. Any other number and notabs are selected.
Is there a setting somewhere else that I am missing?A: You can set "bselectedItem" and "  var bselectedSmItem" parameters based on your link before you call your data file.

For example, move "  var bselectedItem" and "  var bselectedSmItem" parameters from your data file to your code.

<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
  var bselectedItem=   var bselectedSmItem= </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, for example:

<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&tg;




Q: We are testing you menu in our application. It is being used in cross frame mode. It works very nicely except a couple issues.

The main one is after loading a new page in the sub menus window when I go back to the main menu to select another option but on the initial mouse over it takes several seconds for the menu to come up. Once the delay of loading the initial submenu is over it loads all others very quickly until a new page is loaded again. Is there a way to optimize the menu to reduce this load time? I have already set dm_writeAll=0 but that only increased the speed of the initial display of the main menu.

And the other question is does the dmObjectsCheck option work in cross frame mode? I have it set =1 and the submenus still underneath objects (such as select list) which have a higher z order.


A: Try to do the following:
move all <script> calls into <head>, but delete dm_initFrame()function from data .js file -- move them instead of files calls, i.e.:

<head>
<script src=data.js>
...

</head>

...

<div><script>dm_initFrame("frmSet", 1, 2, 1); </script></div>

It this case data will be loaded when <head> will load, but after thatmenus must be shown quickly.
Let me know about results.

Deluxe Menu overlap select objects in cross-frame mode.


Q: There seems to be a "glitch" when I use Firefox.
I have rebuilt the page twice but I always end up with themenu floating to the left, instead of under the main menu (the second or third mouseover will correct the issue). Also, sometimes I have to mouseover twice before the submenu comes up (in I.E.).

I have validated...however I wondered if there could be a conflict in the javascripting (yours and mine). Any suggestions?


A: The reason is in your <!DOCTYPE>.

Try to specify units in "px".
  var menuWidth="780px";
  var menuHeight="27px";
  var smWidth="200px";
  var smHeight="200px";
It's necessary to specify exact value for Mozilla browsers. It helpsto position menus correctly.

You can also try to set the following parameter:
  var dm_writeAll=1;


Q: I hope you have a instructions so we can install css menu in our website.

A: Unfortunately we don't have step by step tutorial yet.
We'll try to create it in the nearest time.

1. Create your Css menu in Deluxe Tuner.

When you open Deluxe Tuner you can click "File/New" and add items
and subitems using buttons "Add Item" and "Add Subitem" on the main window.
See the parameters for the menu on the main window.

More info about menu parameters you can find on our site
http://deluxe-menu.com/css-menu/parameters-info.html

2. You should install the menu on your page.
You can click, for example, File->Save Css Menu/Export HTML

So, you'll have folder with images and .css file ("deluxe-css-menu.files/" folder by default),
deluxe-css-menu.html file and deluxe-css-menu.js file with all menu parameters
(project file you need, if you want to modify your menu later,
there is no need to upload deluxe-css-menu.js on your server).

Open deluxe-css-menu.html file in any text editor and copy several rows of
code into your page (for example index.html page of your website).

Copy and paste several rows into your html page (index.html).

<head>
...
<link type="text/css" href="deluxe-css-menu.files/style.css" rel="stylesheet">
...
</head>

<body>
...
<!-- Deluxe Css Menu -->
<ul id="cssMenu">
<li><a href="testlink.html">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#"><span>
<img class="def" src="deluxe-css-menu.files/icon1.gif"/>
<img class="over" src="deluxe-css-menu.files/icon1o.gif">Product Info</span>
<![if gt IE 6]></a><![endif]><!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]-->
<ul style="width:161px;">
....
</ul>
<!-- (c) 2009, Deluxe-Menu.com -->
...
</body>

You should also copy "deluxe-menu.files/" folder with all images and .css file
into the same folder with your index.html page.

More info about installation:
http://deluxe-menu.com/css-menu/installation-info.html

Try that.
