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: How can I place the dhtml pull down menu onto multiple pages using FrontPage 2000? I am not using CSS. Do I need to copy the html into all of the pages, or just place the script into each page?
A: Yes, you should paste the following html code on your pages:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="dmenu.js"></script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="data.js"></script>
If you don't want to add such code on each page, you can try to useframes, the dhtml pull down menu has a cross-frame mode. Also you can use aserver-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages fromtemplates on your server.
Q: In deluxe tuner, on a horizontal dropdown menu, how I make sure long menu items can wrap into 2 lines? Losing my mind trying to figure this out.
For example...
Instead of.. International Music X Home Decoration X Books..... I want to to do:
International X Home X Books
Music Decoration
A: You should set the following parameter:
var noWrap=0;
Or use standard <br> tags inside item's text:
["International Music X Home<br>Decoration X Books","", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", "", "", ],
Try that.
Q: > Does you tree menu php support right-to-left layout? that is to say it opens thebranches/submenus from the right to left .
A: Yes it is possible to create a menu for right-to-left languages with Deluxe Tree in the same way as in standard htmlcode.
Please, set <HTML dir="rtl">.
You should set the following parameters:
var titemAlign="right";
var ticonAlign="right";
var texpandBtnAlign="right";
Deluxe Menu support right-to-left languages.
In Deluxe Menu you can set the following parameter:
var dmRTL = 1;
Set this parameter to 1 if you're using right-to-left direction of html page <HTML dir=rtl>.
