Q: I recently purchased your Deluxe-Tabs product and I am trying to create tabs that occupy 100% width with each tab being equal width.
Right now when I specify 100% menu width all of the tabs are difference sizes (widths).
How do I control the individual tab width?
A: You should use Individual Item styles to achieve this effect.
See the attached example.
You should set:
var bmenuWidth="100%";
I have 5 items in my example, so I've created Individual Style
var bstyles = [
["bitemWidth=20%"],
];
And assign it for all items:
["Item 1 aaaaa ssssss","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 2 ffff jjjjjjjjjj","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 3 text text","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 4 text text","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 5 text text","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
But notice that items width cannot be smaller than the width of its'text. So it is possible that you'll have different size of some itemsif your window have a small size.
Q: I have problem with our characters also, the иж№рѕИЖ©Р® are all messed up. The program doesn't work on iso-8859-2 charset.
How can I change the charset of the code it generates? I did in templates, bt generator still generates the menu in windows-1250 charset.
Well, I can edit by hand later but...
A: You should set charset attribute on your page:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-2" />
Unfortunately, you can't see these characters correctly in Deluxe Tunerapplication.
Q: How do I disable the menu link for the page that is currently being displayed? I don’t the menu item removed, I just want the link to be inactive and possibly a different color.
A: To disable items you should set the target parameter to "_".
Unfortunately, Deluxe Menu doesn't have such a feature.
You should write your own code, for example, on PHP.
You can try to use the following function
function disable() {
dm_ext_changeItem(1, 1, 1, ["", "", "", "", "", "_"]);
}
to disable your items.
The example you can find on our site

Q: I'm looking at evaluating your Deluxe menu software for inclusion in our current web based software solution and am particularly taken with the 'Ajax style' loading.
Could you please answer a couple of questions with respect to that.
At what point does it load those file ¦ initially when menu is drawn (so multiple small hits to app server) or when the user selects the menu? Does the link href *have* to be a .js file ¦ or can it be any valid file type that returns the correct data? I have to generate the menu options dynamically from a DB and therefore really need to include a JSP style file.
Our current menu system (made up of 4 levels deep contains over 300 links, which is why I want to minimise server hit as much as possible!
A: It loads when the user move his mouse above the menu items.
You can use any extension for these files. But the file structureshould be the same as in our example.
