Q: I have a quick question: I have an iframe menu item (see note 1) for the dhtml menu sample,
and when I click a link in that iframe, I would like to close the menu.
Is this possible, perhaps by using a javascript call?
A: You couldn't close the menu, you can only hide it.
You can try touse the following code to hide the menu.
["||test menuitem
<iframe src='test.php' onClick='document.getElementById(\'dm0m0\').style.visibility=\'hidden\';'
></iframe>","", , , , ,"0" , , , ],
You can also place your Iframe in DIV tag with indents.
["||test menuitem
<div style='padding: 10px;'><iframesrc='test.php'
onClick='document.getElementById(\'dm0m0\').style.visibility=\'hidden\';'></iframe></div>","", , , , ,"0" , , , ],
Q: I've added a tab menu to a site but I want to know
how to get the active tab to stay a certain color in the html tabs menu
when you're on that tabs page.
A: Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab.
You can set "bselectedItem" and " var bselectedSmItem" parameters
based on your link before you call your data file.
For example, move " var bselectedItem" and " var bselectedSmItem" parameters
from your data file to your code.
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem=<?php echo $seltabs; ?>;
var bselectedSmItem=<?php echo $selsmtabs; ?>;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
You should define seltabs and selsmtabs using server side script.
You can also set it on every page before you call data.js file, forexample:
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem=4;
var bselectedSmItem=3;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
Q: I still am having no luck with Firefox showing an Incorrect Copyright nag (Again, just Firefox for Mac; no problem with other browsers.)
Also, I am still requiring a long delay to keep the pop-up window open from loading as the page loads. Script reads:
deluxePopupWindow.attachToEvent(win,'openAfter=,,onClick=Image2,,,') }, 'load')
A: Delete 'openAfter=' at all from deluxePopupWindow.attachToEventfunction (in all files):
deluxePopupWindow.attachToEvent(win,',,onClick=Image2,,,')
deluxePopupWindow.attachToEvent(win,',,onClick=Image21,,,')
deluxePopupWindow.attachToEvent(win,',,onClick=Image22,,,')
deluxePopupWindow.attachToEvent(win,',,onClick=Image23,,,')
deluxePopupWindow.attachToEvent(win,',,onClick=Image24,,,')
In that case popup windows won't show till you click on the images.
You should write NOSCRIPT tag in the following way:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxepopupwindow.com">menu drop down by DeluxePopupWindow.com</a></noscript>
I've just checked it. There is no nag message in Firefox in that case.But notice that you won't have nag message on your website only. On alocal machine you'll have nag message.
Q: How can I use Danish characters in my menu using javascript? In normal html you would use something like this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
What should I do in Deluxe Menu?
A: You should turn on "Tools/Use utf8 encode" property.In that case your data file will be saved in UTF-8 encode. So, youshould set UTF-8 encode on your page too
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html"charset="UTF-8">
If you don't want to use UTF-8 encode on your page you should turn off"Tools/Use utf8 encode" property, save your data file and manuallychange your letters in any text editor.
You can also replace your letters with special sets, for example
É - Capital E, acute accent
var menuItems = [
["É....","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
