Q: I am using the dhtml-tabs code. I have 2 tabs that I use for a basic form and an advanced form. The advanced form is on the second tab. When I submit, I get results. When I click the back button, the selected tab is the first one, and not the second. Is there a way to configure the tabs to be persistent or sticky. Such that clicking on the back button will result on being on the second tab, which was the last dynamic drop menu tab before going to a new page?
A: You can try to use the following dynamic drop menu function:
dtabs_itemClick(0,1)
To open your second tab.
Q: I try to use the javascript menu popups to show an image; then when the mouse is over the image I dynamically generate a panel of http links. It works perfectly, but the problem is that I would like to do the same with several images (for instance 2) and different links : I'm not able to do that, whether I change the value of menuItems var or not, I display the same link values on both images (it seems menuItems is a global var and can be set only once).
Have you heard about this problem and could you give me a solution (this is a bit urgent, I have sold this solution to my customers) ?
A: See how you should call dm_popup() functions:
<img src="../../../../fileadmin/img/flag_de.gif" width="50" onMouseOver="return dm_popup(0, 2000, event);" style="cursor: pointer;">
// 0 - is ID of the first menu
....
<img src="../../../../fileadmin/img/flag_fr.gif" width="50" onMouseOver="return dm_popup(1, 2000, event);" style="cursor: pointer;">
// 1 - is ID of the second menu
// 2 - is ID of the third menu
... and so on.
Q: I want to use my own function within menuItems in the drop down menu button.
A: You can use Javascript instead standard links. For example:
var menuItems = [
["text", "javascript:launchWin('popups/popup_member_browser.cfm','css_MemberBrowser',600,720,0,0,0)"]
];
Q: How can we add a css horizontal dropdown menu separator? I’ve tried the following code but it only adds a menu item with the text “|-“ which is unselectable.
dm_ext_addItem(0, 1, ["|-"])
A: You should add separator without "|" symbol:
dm_ext_addItem(0, 1, ["-"], 1);
