Q: I have been working with the trial package for the last couple of days, of which I have been really impressed with. However there have been a couple of things that have frustrated me greatly...
The natural place that I first tried was replacing the "content1" line with a direct URL in the var bmenuItems section but this made no difference at all. I am also trying to work out what each set of "" equate to as I have found a couple of pages on the Internet very similar to this but none of them have nine different sections.
["Home","content1", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
Is it possible to allow one of the tabs on this template to just open another page? I look forward to your response in regards to these questions and hope to hear from you again soon so that I can crack on with this project.
A: You can't assign links in Dhtml Tabs when you're using var tabMode = 0;.
You can assign only the object's ID of <div> on your page.
Try to set var tabMode = 1;
and use links for your items.
Q: Is there a way to increase the margin between the text on the main tree menu and the edge of the dhtml menu control. The text appears to be right up against the left margin.
A: You can add symbol before item's text, for example:
[" Deluxe Tree: XP Style","", "", "", "", "XP Title Tip", "", "0", "0", "", ],
or you can write:
["+<div style='padding-left: 15px;'>Deluxe Tree: XP Style</div>","", "", "", "", "XP Title Tip", "", "0", "0", "", ],
Actually you can use any html code within dhtml menu control items.
Q: I have read your FAQ’s on “When using mouse over tab menu, where do I place the text content related to the selected tab”, but I am still not understanding how to edit the script.
Cansomeone please assist me.
A: You should specify any Object ID name of the DIV.
See, for each item you should assign the ID property of the content
DIV (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: I would like to create my own jpeg images and use them as the mouseover-items in the top level drop down menus. I am not talking about the backround. I mean the actual upfront button.
I seem to be locked into the size which is the default and would like to change it to width = 180px and height = 45px for each item in the menu.
Is there any way to do that?
A: You should create Individual Style and assign it for all top items.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=180px"],
];
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Product Info","", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
