Q: I am totally confused by this now but I have 2 data files - one for a menu bar going horizontal and one going vertical both containing the same information. But even though the content is the same, the layout is different.
You will see that on the horizontal menu,
Fleet
Financce
CPC Cards
Cashire
These are listed correctly under each other but on the vertical one, the layout differs.
A: You should write your parameters more carefully.
See, now you have
menuItems = [
["About us","javascript:alert('Coming Soon')", , , ,"" ,0 , , , ],
["|||Organisation Chart","javascript:alert('Coming Soon')", , , ,"" ,1, , , ],
First you have the 1-st level of menu items then at once 4-th. It isnot right. You should write the number of your Individual Style in ""also.
See, how you should write your menuItems:
menuItems = [
["About us","javascript:alert('Coming Soon')", , , ,"" ,"0" , , , ],
["|Organisation Chart","javascript:alert('Coming Soon')", , , ,"","1", , , ],

Q: I like your product a lot. These are the features that, unfortunately, cannot be done and hope that you can address them. I will place the order right away if these are resolved:
1. For each individual item, allow attaching a customized javascript to fire up "onclick" and "nomouseover".
2. Allow using a variable size icon for each item.
A: 1. You're able to use Javascript for each item, for example:
var tmenuitems = [
["item text", "javascript:your_code_here"]
];
Unfortunately, you can't assign onmouseover event to each item.
However, you can achieve this by using standard html objects withinitems, for example:
var tmenuitems = [
["<div onmouseover='your_code_here'>item text</div>", "index.html"]
];
2. DHTML Tree Menu uses constant icon size for all icons.
If you wantto use different icon dimensions, you can use standard <img>elements within items:
var tmenuitems = [
["<img src='icon.gif' width=10 height=10>item text", "index.html"]
];
Q: The problem that I am still experiencing (Im sure I have missed something obvious!) - is that all the pages open when you click on the relevant links but they always open with the "About Us" tab showing and then as soon as you click on a different tab you see it highlight for a second and then it just reverts back to the About Us tab even though the page has changed. As the site opens I obviously want the first tab to be highlighted as opposed to the 2nd one and the each page highlights and holds as you go through the menu.
A: See, you set
var bselectedItem=2;
That is why "About us" tab is selected.
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.
If your site is written on PHP you can set "bselectedItem" parameter based on your link beforeyou call tabs-kasper.js file.
For example, move "bselectedItem" parameter from tabs-kasper.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="tabs-kasper.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
You should define seltabs using server side script.
You can also set on every page before you call tabs-kasper.js file(for example, for solution tab).
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem=4;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="tabs-kasper.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
Try that.
Q: Your service is excellent and I am making progress learning the program. I was able to resolve the transparency issue thanks to your help but, but now I have another one that is stumping me.
I can get the menu to show up in my html document and it works as I hoped it would. However, no matter where I put the line of code in my html file, the down menu in dhtml always shows up at the very top of the page. The instructions indicate the following:
Copy the following code into clipboard and paste it into the place you want to have the down menu in dhtml:
<script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script>
For example, into a table cell:
<table>
<td><script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script></td>
</table>
No matter where I put the code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script>, the menu shows up at the top of the page.
What am I missing?
A: Check that you're using relative position for the down menu in dhtml:
var absolutePos=0;
var posX="0px";
var posY="0px";
