Q: Will tab titles ever automatically wrap?
Is there a way to force a wrap of a tab title in a tab menu java?
A: No, unfortunately, tab menu cannot wrap item text automatically.
But you can use
tag within item text, for example
var bmenuItems = [
["Item 1 text <br> text text text <br> text text text ","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
Q: Extremely new at this and likely way over my head…..but why when I attempt to use my own button image in the “itemBack Image” selection under “Edit Individual Styles” does it keep showing up blank in the preview screen?
A: Please, check all your paths.
You can also use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Please, try to use these parameters.
Q: I have a Dynamic tree menu now.
Can I change the style of expandable javascript menu on the fly when I click the style menu items of the tree I made?
A: Theoretically you can do it.
Try to use
function dtreet_ext_userClick(itemID)
{
// Your Javascript code here
return true;
}
function and call
function dtreet_ext_changeItem (menuInd, itemID, itemParams)
function in it.
You should create Individual item style for this item and and assignthis style when you click on the item.
Q: Can you tell me the difference between a target and a link.
Also can you explain what self, blank, top, parent, search and custom mean in the javascript menu table please.
A: Link is the url you want to open when you click on the javascript menu table item.
Target controls where you'll open your link:
"_self" - open link in the same window
"_blank" - open link in the new window
"_parent" - will load the linked document where the inner frameset file had been
"_top" - loads the linked document in the topmost frame
custom - you should write here the name of the frame where you want to
open the linked document, for example:
"framename"
"_search" - this target causes the link to load in the browser's Search pane. (Internet Explorer 5.0 and later.)
