Q: I am trying to use your Deluxe-Tabs, to use on our wwebsite, and to be honest, I am not much of a developer. So please forgive me for my naпve question(s). I have been trying to get 'Content' in to the tabbed dhtml menu build, and I cannot find how that is done.
Do you have an example with all the files (html too!) that shows a simple tabbed dhtml menu build with content for each Tab that I can look at to see how it is done.
I thought I was going to be able to generate the TABs, and point them to the HTML files I want them to use, and each time I selected a tab, that page would be displayed. That does not appear to be what is happening.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
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 dhtml menu build 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: How can I add a submenu to the parent javascript menu horizontal?
A: You should add '|' symbols before item's text.
["Samples","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Sample 1","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Sample 2","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["||Sample 2","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Actually you can create your menu easily in Deluxe Tuner GUI tool.
Q: I have used your Deluxe-menu on my websit. With the browser Opera I have problems with the dhtml scrolling menu item-color. If I select the menu at the first time, the item color is black. After select a menu item the menu item color is #f0e4cc, this is correct. After re-select the menu the item color is #f0e4cc also. After browser re-start the menu item color is black :-(
A: See it is not correctly to write colors in the following way (without # symbol):
var fontColor=["f0e4cc","f0e4cc"];
You should write:
var fontColor=["#f0e4cc","#f0e4cc"];
Your menu will work correctly in all browsers in that case.
Q: Just wondering if it is possible to select a specificdhtml tab via JavaScript.
Eg. A link on the page to select the next tab (or any other for that matter)
A: You can use the following function to open appropriate tab:
Unfortunately Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions now.
You can use the following function to open specific tab:
dtabs_itemClick(menuInd,itemInd);
where
menuInd - index of a tab menu on a page, >= 0.
itemInd - index of a item, >=0.
For example:
<DIV onClick="dtabs_itemClick(0,2)" style="width: 200px; border: 2px solid #000;">Click to open the third tab</DIV>
