Q: I have read your FAQ's on "When using javascript tabbed menu, where do I place the text content related to the selected tab", but I am still not understanding how to edit the java text menu. Can someone please assist me. This is for our Pack website and I have subscribed to a non-profit license. Thank you for your time.
A: You should specify any Object ID name of the DIV.
See, for each java text menu item you should assign the ID property of the contentDIV (see data file with your menu parameters).
["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">
<br><br><br>
<p align=center><img src="img/style01_title.gif" width=140 height=90 alt="Glass Style Tabs"></p>
<br><br><br>
You should paste your content here!!!!!

Q: I have bought this from you. What is the name of the divlayer(s)? Here's a bit of the modified menu code:
["|<iframe height=400 width=435 frameborder=0 scrolling=no src=my_bookmarks.asp></iframe>","","","","0",,,],
I open an Iframe inside the javascript menu design item, and it works fine, but is there a way to close it? I know the commands for hide layers, but I can't find any div layer names to use.
A: I'm not sure I understand you.
Do you want to hide your items?
You can try to use API functions
function dm_ext_changeItemVisibility (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, visibility)

Q: How do I apply styles to submenu items that are different from the styles of top javascript drop down menu items? For instance, I want to know how to apply background images for the submenus, but not for the menu items. I also want borders around the submenu ITEMS, not just the entire submenu. Here is the link to my page with the menus. The menu I am referring to is the top right hand menu (black with grey).
A: Create Individual Item and Submenu styles and assign it to your submenu items.
var itemStyles = [
["itemHeight=23px","itemBackImage=deluxe-menu.files/btn_black.gif,deluxe-menu.files/btn_cyan.gif","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,groove","itemBorderColor=#2C2C2C,#FF0000"],
];
var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=transparent","menuBorderWidth=0","menuBorderStyle=none","itemSpacing=0","itemPadding=0px 0px 0px 10px"],
];
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Product Info","", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Features","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", "", "", ],
["|Installation","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ],
["||Description of Files","testlink.html", "deluxe-menu.files/icon6.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon6o.gif", "", "", "0", "0", "", "", "",],
["||How To Setup","testlink.html", "deluxe-menu.files/icon6.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon6o.gif", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ],

Assign Individual Items style to all submenu items and Individual Submenu Style for the first item in each submenu.Q: I am having problems with my html files that are located in sub folders of my site the menu html does not work on them.If they are in the root directory there is no problem.
A: You can 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
