Q: Is it possible to use this easy drop down menu as a static HTML form element so it does not behave like a link but its value is posted with other form elements on submit?
A: You are able to paste any html code within items.
So you can paste a form too.
For example:
var menuItems = [
...
["<nobr><FORM method=GET action='http://www.google.com/custom'>
<input name='as_q' value='searchthe web' size=15 style='font-size:10'>
<INPUT type=hidden name=cof value='LW:144;L:http://domain.edu/images/sulogo.gif;LH:45;AH:center;GL:0;S:http://domain.edu;AWFID:e01cb67b8afe383e;'>
</form></nobr>","", "images/icons/search.gif", "", "", "", "", "2", "", "", "",],
Q: After I successfully click and load the data in to my window using the tab menu, the tab defaults back to the original default tab. Because I have to reload my page after the tab has been selected the tab chosen is lost. What do you recommend for "remembering" the tab so that when the page reloads the correct tab is highlighted.
A: Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab aslo.
You can set "bselectedItem" and " var bselectedSmItem" parametersbased on your link before you call your data file.
For example, move " var bselectedItem" and " var bselectedSmItem" parametersfrom your data file to your code.
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem= var bselectedSmItem=</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
You should define seltabs and selsmtabs using server side script.
You can also set it on every page before you call data.js file, forexample:
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem=4;
var bselectedSmItem=3;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
Q: I'm not getting information when the move the mouse over the dhtml dynamic menu etc., however if use it on a local machine it shows the necessary information in the status bar of my ie7 . . . any ideas ?
A: You should set the following browser setting:
"Tools/Internet Options/Security/"
click "Custom level..." button and enable "Allow status bar updates viascript" in "Scripting" column (almost at the end of the list).
This is IE7 feature. In the other browsers you won't have suchproblem.

Q: Here is a snapshot from the javascript drop down menu:
["admin","/Main/Administration.asp", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
["|test1","http://www.vg.no", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", ],
["|test2","/Main/Setup.asp", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", ],
If I click on test1 which is a Norwegian newspaper, it works.
But it I click on test2 which is a link to my page – it does not work.
A: You cannot use "" symbols within menuItems. It is not correct.
Try to write your javascript drop down menu items in the following way:
["admin","/Main/Administration.asp", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
["|test1","http://www.vg.no", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", ],
["|test2","/Main/Setup.asp", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", ],
