Q: I want to be able to right-click somewhere on the page and have the menu javascript pop up where the mouse is and have at least one level of submenus available.
A: See how to create javascript pop up menu using Deluxe Menu here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/popup-mode-sample.html
Q: Extremely new at this and likely way over my head…..but why when I attempt to use my own button image in the “itemBack Image” selection under “Edit Individual Styles” does it keep showing up blank in the preview screen?
A: Please, check all your paths.
You can also use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Please, try to use these parameters.
Q: I have configured the Deluxe Tabs menu for the purpose that this menu will form the basis of a website's navigation, once clicked a tab it will take you to the appropriate page.
However one problem I have faced is that menu, regardless of current webpage will display the same active/ selected menu item, having looked in the menu parameters I know that the following set the positions of the selected tab :
* var bselectedItem=0;
* var bselectedSmItem=0;
Is there anyway of selecting the dhtml tab menu index location according to what webpage you are on? On your website it shows an example of a PHP server-side script, however is there an example of this in ASP ?
A: No, unfortunately we don't have such examples in ASP.
Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab also.
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" 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>Q: When using website tab menu, where do I place the text content related to the selected tab,
(the text presented on the rest of the screen under the tab)?
And who do I connect a specfic text to a certain tab?
A: See, for each item you should assign the ID property of the contentDIV (see data file with your menu parameters).
You should set var tabMode=0;
["Style Name","contentName", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Style Description","contentDescription", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Style Variations","contentVariations", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Empty","", "", "", "", "", "2", "", "", ],
And on your html page you should create DIV's with such ID.
You canset background image for these DIV's in styles.
<div id="contentName" style="height: 0%; visibility: hidden; background-image:
url('img/back.jpg'); background-repeat:repeat-y;" class="tabPage">
<p align=center><img src="img/style01_title.gif" width=140 height=90 alt="Glass Style Tabs"></p>
You should paste your content here!!!!!
</div>
<div id="contentDescription" style="height: 0%; visibility: hidden;" class="tabPage">
<p align=center><img src="img/style01_title.gif" width=140 height=90 alt="Glass Style Tabs"></p>
You should paste your description here!!!!!
