Q: How can I open the links that I created for the web drop menu /sub-menu on the same window (not on a new window)
A: You can set target parameter for all items:
var itemTarget="_self";
or for each item individually:
["","testlink.htm","http://images.myregistry.com/images/myregistry/tabs/thingstodo.gif", "http://images.myregistry.com/images/myregistry/tabs/thingstodo1.gif", "Home Tip","_self", "0", "0", , ],
Q: How can I have the option for the navbar tabs that initiated the action highlighted once the new page is reloaded?
I want to highlight the tab which is done with 'bselectedItem', please tell me about thesub-tab option.
A: See you cannot create subitems in:
var tabMode=0;
it is not correct.
You should set
var tabMode=1;
The following parameters set the pressed items for top items andsubitems:
var bselectedItem=0; //top items
var bselectedSmItem=2; //subitems
where 0,1,2... is the index of the item in bmenuItems.
- delete var bselectedItem=1; and var bselectedSmItem=2; parameters from your data file
- set correct parameters on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-tabs.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Tabs.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dtabs.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var bselectedItem=3;
var bselectedSmItem=5; </script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
Q: I am looking at purchasing the Drop Down Menu Program. I cannot find any examples of other sites that may be using your product.
And each link that I click on for help gives me code to use on the page. Does this mean that I need to know JavaScript to use this program effectively? How recent is the newest version of your program?
Please advise if there is a support forum, also.
A: I advise you to try our new Javascript menu -- Deluxe Menu, http://deluxe-menu.com.
This is a newer version of DHTML Menu. It works better.
I can send you some links to the websites with Deluxe Menu.

No, there is no need in deep knowledge of javascript to use the menu.
You can use Deluxe Tuner application to create your menus easily.
We release the new version of the menu about two times a year.
Q: I want to be able to have all of the submenus start at the top of the menu. For example, when I hover across each of my menu items in a vertical level, I want the sublevel menu to start at the very top of the menu, not out beside the menu option. How can I achieve this
A: You can have such effect only for the first subitems.
Others subitems will have Y offset.
Please, see the attached example.
You should adjust the following parameters:
var topDX=-116;
var topDY=-31;
var DX=-148;
var DY=-32;
