Q: When I check my website for accessibility it shows NoAlt on the dhtml drop down menu!.
Where do I add an alt tag in the data file?
A: You should use the fifth parameter in menuItems
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, tip, target, itemStyleInd, submenuStyleInd, jsFilename],
For example:
["Home","index.htm", "", "", "Home", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Dr. Copeland's Bio","bio.htm", "", "", "Dr. Copeland's Bio", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Destiny History","history.htm", "", "", "Destiny History", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Contact Destiny","contact.htm", "", "", "Contact Destiny", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Dr. Copeland's Itinerary","itinerary.htm", "", "", "Dr. Copeland's Itinerary", "", "", "", "", ],
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: Is there a way to hide a javascript top menu options using either CSS or the java api based on the site user?
(I use ColdFusion for scripting)
A: Deluxe Menu supports Javascript API.
You can find more info here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/dynamic-functions-sample.html
You can try to use API functions in that case:
function dm_ext_changeItemVisibility (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, visibility)
To disable items you should set the target parameter to "_".
You can try to use the following function
function disable() {
dm_ext_changeItem(0, 1, 1, ["", "", "", "", "", "_"]);
}
to disable your items.
