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"],
];

Assign Individual Items style to all submenu items and Individual Submenu Style for the first item in each submenu.Q: I’m currently testing your product and using the tabs. My question is that not all my javascript html tabs point to the same target, I tried doing your suggestion on your FAQ but when I do that the tabs do not even display, here is my code
["|Manage Users","user.asp",,,,,"fmeMain"] also tried different points in the parameters
I know the break down is as follows
[Display,Url,Icon1, icon2, title,supposedToBeTarget]
A: See, you can use links if you have
var tabMode=1;
only.
If you have
var tabMode=0;
You should use the ID of the DIV.
Unfortunately, you cannot set target parameter for each item.
bmenuItems has the following structure:
var bmenuItems = [
["text", "divID or link or javascript function", "icon1", "icon2", "icon3", "tip", "styleN"],
];
But you can try to open your pages using different targets in thefollowing way
["tab text", "javascript: window.open('test.html', 'frameName')", ...],
["tab text", "javascript: window.open('test.html', '_self')", ...],
["tab text", "javascript: window.open('test.html', '_blank')", ...],
Where frameName - the name of the frame where to open the page test.html.
Using this method you can create Deluxe Tabs in var tabMode=0; and var tabMode=1;
Q: I've got an xp style menu that I'm trying to place within a table... Things are not rendering as I'd expect
I am trying to put the menu in the left column of the table, a form on the right side, and then center the entire table.
The html table is surrounded by a center tag (have tried a div tag with no difference).
It appears the xp menu is obeying the center tag, but not keeping it relative to the containing table...
How can I fix this issue? I have also attached the html source code as it is rendered in the browser in case that is of some use.
A: You should set the following parameter:
var tabsolute = 0;
You're using absolute position for the menu now.
Q: We are in the stage of design, we have a requirement to have the items
fly out from right to left in the dhtml menue.
A: The following parameter controls the ways of showing submenus:
From left to right:
var subMenuAlign="left";
var subMenuVAlign="top";
From left to right + upwards:
var subMenuAlign="left";
var subMenuVAlign="bottom";
From right to left:
var subMenuAlign="right";
var subMenuVAlign="top";
From right to left + upwards:
var subMenuAlign="right";
var subMenuVAlign="bottom";
