Q: How do you go about labeling the various segments of your page to utilize the tab navbar?
A: See, for each item you should assign the ID property of the content
DIV (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">
<p align=center><img src="img/style01_title.gif" width=140 height=90 alt="Glass Style Tabs"></p>
You should paste your content here!!!!!
</div>
<div id="contentDescription" style="height: 0%; visibility: hidden;" class="tabPage">
<p align=center><img src="img/style01_title.gif" width=140 height=90 alt="Glass Style Tabs"></p>
You should paste your description here!!!!!
</div>
You can paste any code within DIV's (PHP, Javascript ...)
Q: I was trying out the Vista samples and was able to change the sub-item font size but not the cascade menu javascript item(s) font size. Is this by design?
A: You should change font for the main items in the Individual Styles.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11pxTahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=data-vista-03.files/btn_magentablack.gif,data-vista-03.files/btn_magenta.gif"],
];
Try that.
Q: Looking at the tab menu code below, am I right in guessing what the first 6 parameters are, and can you tell me what the last 3 are forplease?
var bmenuItems = [
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Title","...link.asp", "iconNormal", "iconMouseOver","iconSelected", "tootip", "?", "?", "?", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
A: var bmenuItems = [
[item_text, object_to_show, normal_icon, mouseover_icon, selected_icon, tooltip, item_style],
[item_text, object_to_show, normal_icon, mouseover_icon, selected_icon, tooltip, item_style],
...
];
so it's a item_style, the last two are reserved and not used.

Q: I'd like to create a tabbed menu which has about 9 or 10 main tabs.
I'd like to conserve the horizontal space, and wrap the menu after 4 or 5 tabs to have two rows of main tabs. Some tabs have sub menus, some don't.
The first main tab has about 10 items, and I'd like the user to be able to click on that main tab to see the 10 items.
I was going along splendidly with tab mode on. Then I get too far to the right and want to wrap.
hence that is why I want two rows, and apparently need to add the $ to wrap the menu around to a second row.
Do I need to use two tab menus to accomplish this?
A: This doesn't work in TabMode=1.
I suppose that it will be better to use two menus on the page.
