Q: I have read your FAQ’s on “When using mouse over tab menu, where do I place the text content related to the selected tab”, but I am still not understanding how to edit the script.
Cansomeone please assist me.
A: You should specify any Object ID name of the DIV.
See, for each item you should assign the ID property of the content
DIV (see data file with your menu parameters).
["Style Name","contentName", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Style Description","contentDescription", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Style Variations","contentVariations", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Empty","", "", "", "", "", "2", "", "", ],
And on your html page you should create DIV's with such ID.
You canset background image for these DIV's in styles.
<div id="contentName" style="height: 0%; visibility: hidden; background-image: url('img/back.jpg'); background-repeat:repeat-y;" class="tabPage">
<p align=center><img src="img/style01_title.gif" width=140 height=90 alt="Glass Style Tabs"></p>
You should paste your content here!!!!!

<div id="contentDescription" style="height: 0%; visibility: hidden;" class="tabPage">

Q: I am in the early stages of desgning a website for a client and am looking for a particular menu script.
I came across your site ad am impressed with the options. However, I am haivng trouble finding something that will do what the client is looking for.
With a horizontal menu bar across the top, a drop down sub-menu appears but the menu items appear side by side insdie of in a column.
I was hopeing that one of your options might be able to handle this type of menu but I do not see that there is a script for it. Is that true or is it possible to achieve this example in a setting in one of your scripts.
A: You can create such menu with Deluxe Menu.
Please, see the attached example.
You should set this parameter:
var smOrientation=1;
You can create any style of the menu.

Q: I evaluated Deluxe Menu over the weekend and I really like it. I believe I'll be buying it this week. I have one question. Is it possible for the menu to be aware of what page you have selected and highlight the corresponding menu item on that page.
A: You should set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
Q: Thank you for the information and especially for your good explaination of the ways DHTML and Java work with menus. I want to get a menu because I was asked to base a new web site on one that used 'showpage.asp' calls to createtheir menus. Can you throw some light on how I would go about doing that?
A: Deluxe Menu and Java Menus work on aclient side only and they don't depend on the server which you'reusing and they don't work on a server side as ASP.NET script.So, you can create the menu using standard html page and them movemenu code within .asp page.
Please, try the trial version of the menu. You can use GUI to createyour menu. You can find it in the trial package.
