Q: I was testing your suite and I like it very much, but I do have problems with IE 7 (last updates) on a winXP Pro machine. The javascript menu sample doesn't show up on the site. Do you know something about this or can you tell me what I have made wrong? I tried the normal export and also the export code for search friendly sites.
Please give me a short hint, what I must change.
Looking forward in hearing from you soon
A: Try to set exact width for the menu.
var menuWidth="400px";
Q: I have been trying to get ‘Content’ in to the float tab, and I cannot find how that is done.
A: You should specify any Object ID name of the DIV.
See, for each 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">
<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!!!!!
</div>
Q: When the page initially loads, the sizing of all the tabsappear the way I want them to.
The first time any of the tabs are clicked on in the dhtml tab menu, I get a little bit of white space and a faint vertical line just to the left of tab 1.
A: Try to set your tabs in the following way:
var bmenuItems = [
["TRACING SYSTEM","link:tracing.html", "", "", "", "AUTOMATED TRACING SYSTEM", "", "", "", ],
["DOCUMENT RETRIEVAL","link:docret.html", "", "", "", "DOCUMENT RETRIEVAL SYSTEM", "", "", "", ],
["ON SPOT BY BOOKING NUMBER","link:onspot.html", "", "", "", "ON SPOT BY BOOKING NUMBER", "", "", "", ],
["CUSTOMER PORTALS","link:portals.html", "", "", "", "CUSTOMER PORTALS", "", "", "", ],
["EDI","link:edi.html", "", "", "", "ELECTRONIC DATA INTERCHANGE", "", "", "", ],
["GPS TRACKING","link:gps.html", "", "", "", "GPS TRACKING", "", "", "", ],
["WMS","link:wms.html", "", "", "", "WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM", "", "", "", ],
];
You should also set
var bselectedItem=0;
to select your first item by default in that case.
Q: The dropdown menu works perfect locally, but when hosted it doesnt seen to work, im sorry i dont completly understand what you mean when using the other parameters to make it absolute... here is the html files, and the .js files included in a zip file.
A: Now on your website you have the following code:
["Home","C:\Documents and Settings\Josh\Desktop\Josh\Alsek Website\home.htm", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
["Products","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Lift Kits","C:/Documents and Settings/Josh/Desktop/Josh/Alsek Website/Pages/LiftKits.html", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
...
On your website you're using paths to the pages situated on a localdisk. It is not right.
You can try to write
["Home","pages/home.htm", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
["Products","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Lift Kits","pages/LiftKits.html", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
...
You can also use pathPrefix_link parameter.
var pathPrefix_link = "http://www.domain.com/";
and write
["Home","home.htm", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
["Products","", , , , , , , , ],
["|Lift Kits","pages/LiftKits.html", , , , "iframe", , , , ],
