Q: The asp drop down menu should indicate with on which page I me just considers
(with anothercolour of the font of the active Link from the navigation, or an underline, bolder font, ...).
A: Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover, but
you can highlight menu items in two ways:
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.

Q: I am trying to follow your directions on how to load the application and I am completely lost as to what I need to do.
Do you have instructions on how operate the application; I am having a very difficult problem trying to maneuver around.
I am looking to create css vertical tabs, and the tabs are my personal images and I want to place html text into tabs.
A: To set your own images for tabs you should use the following
parameters (see how we created images in the attached example):
var bitemBackImage=["img/styleIE7_n_back.gif","img/styleIE7_o_back.gif","img/styleIE7_s_back.gif"];
var bbeforeItemImage=["img/styleIE7_n_left.gif","img/styleIE7_o_left.gif","img/styleIE7_s_left.gif"];
var bafterItemImage=["img/styleIE7_n_right.gif","img/styleIE7_o_right.gif","img/styleIE7_s_right.gif"];
You can also use a whole images for you tabs you should use only
var bitemBackImage=["img/styleIE7_n_back.gif","img/styleIE7_o_back.gif","img/styleIE7_s_back.gif"];
Set the dimensions of the menu here:
var bmenuWidth="600px";
var bmenuHeight="33px";
See in Deluxe Tabs there are two modes:
1. var tabMode=0;
You can create only one level of tabs and assign Object Id's of the
DIV's to show when you click on the tab.
["XP Tab 1","content1", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 2","content2", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 3","content3", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 4","content4", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
2. var tabMode=1;
You can assign only links in this mode.
You should create top level items with subitems.
["XP Tab 1","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Link 1_1","http://deluxe-tabs.com", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 1_2","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 1_3","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 1_4","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 1_5","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 2","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Link 2_1","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 2_2","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 2_3","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 2_4","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 2_5","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["XP Tab 3","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Link 3_1","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 3_2","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 3_3","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 3_4","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Link 3_5","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
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: I need to create a pop-up menu triggered from a flash movie button. Is this possible, and if so, do you have any documentation on this? (coding for flash button, etc)
A: Unfortunately you cannot assign OnClick or OnContextMenu event forflash file.
Q: I've recently purchased and implemented your menu. While it's definitely very good, I have a small issue I'm hoping you can help me resolve.
When running over regular http, the menu drops down and shows in front of any form select dropdowns as it should. However, when running over SSL (https), the menu shows up with the form select box in front of it.
Any help for fixing this would be greatly appreciated.
A: Please, check that you've set the following parameter:
var dmObjectsCheck=1;
Please, use dmenu_add.js file.
