Q: Hi, just a quick question, is it possible to change which tab is displayed when the page is first rendered.

For instance, if you have 4 tabs, going right to left, can you load the css menu tabs with the second tab being displayed first?


A: See, if you use Tab Mode
  var tabMode = 1;

  var bselectedItem = 0; //main items
  var bselectedSmItem = -1; //submenus

If you use
  var tabMode = 0;
  var bselectedItem = 0;

See, the ID of the item starts with 0.

So, if you use TabMode (  var tabMode=1;):

  var bselectedItem = 4;

["-", ] - separator, ID = 0
["Mac Tab 1", "content1"], ID = 1
["Subitem1","testlink.html",] ID = 2
["Subitem2","testlink.html",] ID = 3
["Mac Tab 2", "content2"], ID = 4 // selected tab
["Subitem1","testlink.html",] ID = 5
["Subitem2","testlink.html",] ID = 6
["Mac Tab 3", "content3"], ID = 7
["Subitem1","testlink.html",] ID = 8
["Subitem2","testlink.html",] ID = 9
["Mac Tab 4", "content4"], ID = 10
["Subitem1","testlink.html",] ID = 11
["Subitem2","testlink.html",] ID = 12

If you use tabs (  var tabMode=0;):

  var bselectedItem = 2;

["-", ] - separator, ID = 0
["Mac Tab 1", "content1"], ID = 1
["Mac Tab 2", "content2"], ID = 2 // selected tab
["Mac Tab 3", "content3"], ID = 3
["Mac Tab 4", "content4"], ID = 4


Q: I have a question about tab menu java. I would like the use the version where tabMode = 1. However, I don't want a separate page loaded when a tab item is clicked. I would like it to display a <div> the same way it does when tabMode = 0. Is there a way to do this in tab menu java?

A: Download the new version from the same link in your license messageand install it.

You can use Object ID as well as Link in both modes. Use the following prefixes within item's link field:

"object:" - means that there is object id after it;
"link:" - means that there is a link after it.
"javascript:" - means that there is a javascript code after it, for example:javascript:alert(\'Hello!\')

So, you should write for example:

 ["|Link 1_1","object:Content1_1", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],



Q: We are using a licenced version of your tree-menu.
Now we have a situation, where we should show the actualclicked menu position with an icon or a color for a collapse tree menu.

A: This can be found with the help of external function of tree menu.
dtreet_ext_userClick(itID, event) - this function is called when clicking a mouse button on the item.

itID - item id
event - standard structure of events generated browser
dtreet_ext_getItemParams (menuInd, itemID) - returns all item parameters.

<!-- (c) 2005, Deluxe-Menu.Com -->

  What's wrong??


A: What version of the menu you're using?

Now we have new version of the menu v2.4. We've fixed "IncorrectCopyright" message in IE7 in it.

How to upgrade to v2.4

You can download the licensed engine .js files from the same link in your license message.
Deluxe Menu v2.4 has new parameters and features.

Step 1.
1.1 For Windows users
a. Install new license package. (you can download it from the same link in your license message)
b. Run Deluxe Tuner v2.4
c. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed):
select File/Open…
d. Save the file: select File/Save, then click "No" button when the dialog box appears.

1.2 For other OS users
a. Open menu data file (.js file where menu parameters are placed) in a text editor.
