Q: I can see that you can have multi menus on the same page can you have multi tabs? I did create two different tab menus and when I put them on the same page they display correctly but you cannot navigate to the required web pages.
A: You can use as many tabs on the one page as you want.
But notice that you should call dtabs.js file on each page only once.
There is no need to call it several times on the one page.
You can see such examples in the trial package:
c:\Program Files\Deluxe Menus\deluxe-tabs\tab-style-mac.html
Q: Can search engines follow the menu items of the website design navigation?
A: You should generate search engine friendly code and install it on yourpage.
Deluxe Menu is a search engine friendly menu since v1.12.
To create a search engine friendly menu you should add additional html code within your html page:
<div id="dmlinks"> <a href="menu_link1">menu_item_text1
<a href="menu_link2">menu_item_text2
...etc.
</div>
To generate such a code use Deluxe Tuner application.
Run Tuner, load your menu and click Tools/Generate SE-friendly Code (F3).
Q: I got the menu to display across frames, but it displays differently in Firefox & Mozillavs. Internet Explorer. Is that to be expected?
In The Mozilla-based browsers, the submenu butts right upunder the main menu – which is how I want it. In IE, it is about 10 pixels below.
Also, I can’t get the submenus to drop down directly under the main menus – they are offset by about 100 pixels to the right.
A: The problem is in a structure of your frameset.
Mozilla browsers can't determine absolute coordinates for a frame, sosubmenus drop down with an offset.
You should create the following frameset structure:
--|------------
| menu
--|------------
|
| submenus
|
Now a top row has 2 columns and all browsers can determine awidth of the 1st column in the second row.
Q: Is there any way through script to call the function that would be called if the user clicked a dhtml tabbed menu?
A: You're able to use Javascript for each item, for example:
var bmenuitems = [
["item text", "javascript:your_code_here"]
];
Unfortunately, you can't assign onmouseover/onClick event to each item.
However, you can achieve this by using standard html objects within items, for example:
var bmenuitems = [
["<div onClick='your_code_here'>item text</div>", "index.html"]
];
