Q: I am interested in purchasing your product (in particular – Mac Tabs). I downloaded a trial to test Mac Tabs. The trial Mac Tabs is not the same as shown on your website where the “links” appear horizontally under the “tab”. In this trial version the “links” appear as tabs also and not in a horizontal bar under the tab.
In testing the XP Tabs trial, I found it worked correctly.
Is there something wrong with the trial version of Mac Tabs?
A: See, if you want to add links to the tabs you should create your tabmenu in Tab mode.
var tabMode=1;
You can find all instructions how to create such tabs in the Templatewindow "MAC" tab.
You should add subitems for the items and assign Tab Style for thesubitems.
For example try to use MAC Style 2 Tab Mode.
Q: I am in the process of evaluating the deluxe-menu product V3.2.7.16 and have created a simple HTML using the deluxe-menu Vista Style #6. This works great and displays with the animation in IE and also using FireFox V2 with IE tabs.. However, in basic FireFox and Safari, the javascript menus display but without the swirling animation. Pls advise !!
A: Filters and transitional effects are features of Internet Explorer5.5+ only.

Q: First, i like the time I save with this program, but it isn't going to help me that much if I can't put the menu where I want it on my page.
No matter how I set the "positioning", it shows up in exactly the same place over and over. I've put it in table cells, I've given it absolute positioning... none of it matters.
A: If you want to center the menu paste itwithin the <div> or <table> with a static position and specify a center alignment for it, for example:
<DIV align=center>
<<SCRIPT src="data/data.js" type=text/javascript>
</SCRIPT>
</DIV>
<table width=800>
<tr>
<td align=center width=600><script type="text/javascript" src="data/data.js"></script></td>
</tr>
</table>
Please, set exact value for var menuWidth parameter, for example:
var menuWidth = "600px";
This can help to align your menu correctly in all browsers.
Try also to specify units in "px".
Set also:
var absolutePos = 0;
Try that.
Q: However when recreating the menus after deleting all trace of the trial version and loading on the licensed version I have developed problems.
When I create menus and test using expression web on explorer it works well but when published to web the dropdown menu appear but cannot be clicked on to be diverted to the relevant links. Also since loading the licensed version when using the test browser in expression web firefox a message appears as follows “firefox dosen’t know how to open this address, because the protocol (c) isn’t associated with any program”.
Please advise I have loaded the licence in the correct way I’m sure.
A: You cannot use local paths on your website. They won't work.
