Q: I am currently testing the DHTML Tabs product, and I am trying to find ways of replicating how it is being done in your website at
http://dhtml-menu.com/dhtml-tabs/tabs-examples.html.
In your website, when I click on a Tab, the content relevant to that tab appears. I understand that the site is using "div id= " method to control. However, my question is how can I code the DIV to appear in the JS file ?
A: I advise you to try our new Javascript menu -- Deluxe Tabs,
http://deluxe-tabs.com.
This is a newer version of DHTML Tabs. It works better.
See, for each item you should assign the ID property of the contentDIV (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.
<div id="contentName" style="height: 0%; visibility: hidden;" class="tabPage">
<br><br><br>
<p align=center><img src="img/style01_title.gif" width=140 height=90 alt="Glass Style Tabs"></p>
<br><br><br>
You should paste your content here!!!!!

<div id="contentDescription" style="height: 0%; visibility: hidden;" class="tabPage">
<br><br><br>
<p align=center><img src="img/style01_title.gif" width=140 height=90 alt="Glass Style Tabs"></p>
<br><br><br>
You should paste your description here!!!!!

Q: I am spending a lot more time and have figured a few things out. One more question please: How do I specify the target link I want a dhtml submenu to go to?
I see HREF specified in the code, but no where in the program to specify it.
A: See, the following parameter sets target for all items
var itemTarget="_self";
If you want to set different target for each item you should set it inthe "Item Parameters" window. Choose your item in the main window andset target in the target field.
Q: Is there a problem with your menu software and IE 7?
My menu was working fine, now that I upgraded the browser to IE 7, the menu doesnot show any more.
A: Try to set exact value for menu width.
For example:
var menuWidth="800px";
Your menu should work fine.
Q: I had to put the site live and had taken out the white border. I've used one of the better elements of your application and put a second data file (data1.js) and a sample page up that recreates the aberrant behavior in IE and the missing border-bottom in Firefox and Opera.
In IE, the entire border of each element has about a 5px white border until you mouseover each element. Then the border-bottom (1px solid white) shows correctly.
In both Firefox and Opera the border doesn't show at all.
A: Try to write so:
var absolutePos=1;
var posX="10";
var posY="400";
var itemStyles = [
["itemBorderWidth=0 0 1px 0","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBorderColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF"],
];
