Q: I am trying to setup a popup tab menu like the one that you have on top part of your web pages (containing items; "Home", "Product Info", "Sample"...).
Right now I am using <div id=""> tag to load everything and break the content into each tab, but it is taking a long time to load everything first then break them down into tabs. So I thought maybe having each tab's content in each page, and have a link to each page would be more efficient. But when I put a link for each tab, for example "link:www.google.com" I get an javascript error saying "tabs[...].id is null or not an object". When I test this straight from Deluxe Tuner, I get the same message.
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong here? Or is there any better way to solve my problem? Thanks in advance.
A: Check that you have style=" visibility: hidden;" for your DIVs
<div id="content1" style=" visibility: hidden; height: 400px;" class="tabPage">
> But when I put a link for each tab, for example
> "link:www.google.com" I get an javascript error saying "tabs[...].id is
You should write:
link:http://www.google.com
Q: Would it be possible at some point to introduce more font decoration options to the mouseover variables, I would like to add bold as a mouseover font decoration, but obviously this is not possible at the moment.
A: Unfortunately, Deluxe Menu doesn't have such a feature. You can onlyset it's color. You cannot set the font of menu item bold when selected.
You should addthe following code in your data file:
function changeFont(obj, over)
{
obj.style.fontWeight = over ? 'bold' : 'normal';
obj.style.fontSize = over ? '13px' : '12px'; // You can not use this line
}
var menuItems = [
["<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Security</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Ease of Access</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Internet Options</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Windows Firewall</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Network and Internet</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Hardware</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],

A: Yes, we're planning the full support for IE8 as well as for all major browsers.
All issues will be fixed with final version of IE8.
Q: I downloaded the trial version of deluxe-menu.
I created a four tab menu using the tab'stab menu generator; so far so good.
I read the tutorial where to past codeand ensuring all items wire in the menudir/; so far so good. The problem, you talk about two> files 'dmenu.js' & 'data.js', these files were not created bydeluxe-menu program.
Where are they, so that I can see if this thing works before buying, so far; not so good.
A: You may have another name for your data file (not data.js).
If you want to use tab menu you'll have dtabs.js engine file and data file.
1. create and save .js file with your menu parameters in Deluxe Tuner(you can use "File/Save as/HTML" function).
You can enter any name you like, for example enter "tab". So you'llhave tab.html, tab.js files and "tab.files" folder with all menu files.
2. open your .html page in any text editor
3. Copy generated tab.js file and "tab.files/" folder in the same folderwith your index.html page.
4. Open generated menu.html in any text editor and copy several rows of code (<script> tags), For info see:http://deluxe-tabs.com/product-info/?installation
