Q: I am trying to setup a popup tab menu like the one that you have on top part of your web pages (containing items; "Home", "Product Info", "Sample"...).
Right now I am using <div id=""> tag to load everything and break the content into each tab, but it is taking a long time to load everything first then break them down into tabs. So I thought maybe having each tab's content in each page, and have a link to each page would be more efficient. But when I put a link for each tab, for example "link:www.google.com" I get an javascript error saying "tabs[...].id is null or not an object". When I test this straight from Deluxe Tuner, I get the same message.
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong here? Or is there any better way to solve my problem? Thanks in advance.
A: Check that you have style=" visibility: hidden;" for your DIVs
<div id="content1" style=" visibility: hidden; height: 400px;" class="tabPage">
> But when I put a link for each tab, for example
> "link:www.google.com" I get an javascript error saying "tabs[...].id is
You should write:
link:http://www.google.com
Q: I am trying to make the tab menu to work correctly and after extensive testing and I have come across a problem that I can seem to get resolved. I am using images for the tab menu with no text and <divs> to display information about each tab. However while the page loads I can see all the content from all the <div> java menu bars and when the page if fully loaded, the web page then displays the content correctly with all the content hidden until the correct tab is selected. Mind you this is the only thing on the webpage so there shouldn’t be any load time problems.
Please advice what is happen to resolve this issue.
A: Try to set display: none; property for the style of your DIV, forexample:
<div id="content1" style="display: none;" class="tabPage">
<br><br><br>
<p align=center><img src="../image/img/logo_DM.gif" width=262 height=56 alt="Deluxe-Menu.com"></p>
</div>
<div id="content2" style="display: none;" class="tabPage">
<br><br><br>
<p align=center><img src="../image/img/logo_DT.gif" width=262 height=56 alt="java menu bars"></p>
</div>
Q: I am setting up a 3 tab script and each tab opens a new page but the state of the javascript tab menu selected reverts back to the default tab.а Howdo I keep the tab selected when advancing to the next tab (new page)?
A: You should change the selected tab depending on the page you are now.
This Tabs menu can save pressed item automatically within1 page only. If you open another page, the menu can't remember presseditem. You should do that manually using Javascript and menu parameters( var bselectedItem) or using any server-side script (php, asp, etc.)
Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab.
So, you can set "bselectedItem" parameter based on your link beforeyou call data.js file.
For example, move "bselectedItem" parameter from data.js file to yourcode.
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem=<?php echo $seltabs; ?>;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
You should define seltabs using server side script.
Q: Can i install and run this on a server running OS X?
