Q: Things are mostly working great. I want my menu to appear centered at the top the page. Here's the code:
<table style="text-align: left; width: 100%;" border="0" cellpadding="2"cellspacing="2">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="width: 100%; text-align: center;"><script type="text/javascript" src="navbar.js"></script>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
The table appears at the far left edge of the window. I tried with both absolute (x=20, y=10) and relative (both x and y unset) coordinates. Help!
A: If you want to center the menu paste itwithin the <div > or <table> with a static position and specify a center alignment for it, for example:
<DIV align=center>
<SCRIPT src="data/data.js" type=text/javascript>
</SCRIPT>
</DIV>
<table width=800>
<tr>
<td align=center width=600> </tr>
</table>
Please, set exact value for var menuWidth parameter, for example:
var menuWidth = "600px";
This can help to align your menu correctly in all browsers.
Try also to specify units in "px".
Set also:
var absolutePos = 0;
Q: When the html tab menu is initialized can you not have any selected tabs?
I do not want to select any tabs when the menu is initialized for some cases.
A: No, unfortunately it is not possible. Some top item should behighlighted.
But you can try to add separator in the beginning of the menu and set:
var bselectedItem=0;
var bseparatorWidth="0px";
var bmenuItems = [
["-",],
[" Deluxe Menu","content1", "img/icon_ie.gif", "img/icon_ie.gif", "img/icon_ie.gif", "", "", "", "", ],
[" Deluxe Tree","content2", "img/icon_ie.gif", "img/icon_ie.gif", "img/icon_ie.gif", "", "", "", "", ],
[" Deluxe Tabs","content3", "img/icon_ie.gif", "img/icon_ie.gif", "img/icon_ie.gif", "", "", "", "", ],
[" Contact us","content4", "img/icon_mail.gif", "img/icon_mail.gif", "img/icon_mail.gif", "", "", "", "", ],

Q: I am struggling with my menu on my site the submenu is under the main text area. How do I make the submenu come to the front.
A: Check your z-index for <DIV id=navigation>.
Try to write it, for example, so:
<DIV id=navigationstyle="Z-INDEX: 10; LEFT: 0px; WIDTH: 170px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 5px; HEIGHT: 600px">
Try that.
