Q: I have setup some tabs on a site that I am designing and for some reason when I click on a drop down menu links tab and it links to another page it automatically highlights the first tab in the row. I have tried fiddling with it and have not been able to figure it out. Can someone point me in the right direction to have the correct tab selected after i click it and goto the page.
A: Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected drop down menu links tab.
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" drop down menu links parametersfrom your data file to your code.
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem=<?php echo $seltabs; ?>;
var bselectedSmItem=<?php echo $selsmtabs; ?>;
</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>
Try that.
Q: When set up link by using Tuner app, it point to different dir.
For example I set to: c:\test(HTMLfolder)\Test Link\IntrAC-DC.swf,
then Tuner sets: ["|||||Item b SWF","Test Link/IntrAC-DC.swf", , , , "_parent", , , , ],
It does not work until I move linked files to “c:\test(HTMLfolder)\data-samples\Test Link”
A: Try to set the following parameters
var pathPrefix_img="";
var pathPrefix_link="";
Q: I can not figure out how to get the grey separator gif to show up in the navigation bar scripts.
Where in the DeluxeTuner do you select that?
A: You should add separators between your items,
use "Add separator" button on the mainwidow of Deluxe Tuner.
var menuItems = [
["Item1","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item2","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item2","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item4","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item5","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item6","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item7","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
var separatorVImage="separv1.gif";
var separatorVWidth="1px";
var separatorVHeight="21px";
Notice that I've used my on separator image, you should use your own image.
Q: Could you also tell me where I should place the images I wish to use in the menu, eg arrows. When I select an image to use they are not appearing in the preview, or when I launch deluxe-menu.html?
A: Please, check images paths within data .js file.
For example, if you have data.js file here:
c:/website/data.js
and your images are stored here:
c:/website/images/
you should set image name so (for example):
var arrowImageMain = ["images/arrow1.gif", "images/arrow2.gif"];
If you use Tuner, you should save data .js file before you'll selectimages. When you save .js file it means that you set a root directoryfor the project, so Tuner can make all selected images with relativepaths.
