Recent Questions

Q: I am trying to create a tab menu and I have some questions. I want a tab menu that has four tabs. Each tab is a different image, the normal and hover state uses the same image and the selected state uses a different image. This will be applied to all four tabs. All the tabs will not have any text on them because the image will already have text on it. This tab menu will not have a submenu but will use <div id> tags to populate information when a certain javascript menu master tab is selected.

I am having difficulty trying to create this type of tab menu to work with the Deluxe Tuner. Each time I try to make an image as a tab that image is applied to all javascript menu master tabs which I do not want. I want each tab to have a different image.

Please advice how I can do this.

A: If you want to use different images you should use Individual ItemStyles and assign them for your tabs.

  var bstyles = [
["bitemBackImage=deluxe-tabs.files/style04_n_back.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_s_back.gif, deluxe-tabs.files/style04_s_back.gif","bbeforeItemImage=deluxe-tabs.files/style04_n_left.gif, deluxe-tabs.files/style04_s_left.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_s_left.gif", "bafterItemImage=deluxe-tabs.files/style04_n_right.gif, deluxe-tabs.files/style04_s_right.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_s_right.gif"],

["bitemBackImage=deluxe-tabs.files/style04_2_n_back.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_2_s_back.gif, deluxe-tabs.files/style04_2_s_back.gif","bbeforeItemImage=deluxe-tabs.files/style04_2_n_left.gif, deluxe-tabs.files/style04_2_s_left.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_2_s_left.gif", "bafterItemImage=deluxe-tabs.files/style04_2_n_right.gif, deluxe-tabs.files/style04_2_s_right.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_2_s_right.gif"],

["bitemBackImage=deluxe-tabs.files/style04_3_n_back.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_3_s_back.gif, deluxe-tabs.files/style04_3_s_back.gif","bbeforeItemImage=deluxe-tabs.files/style04_3_n_left.gif, deluxe-tabs.files/style04_3_s_left.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_3_s_left.gif", "bafterItemImage=deluxe-tabs.files/style04_3_n_right.gif, deluxe-tabs.files/style04_3_s_right.gif,deluxe-tabs.files/style04_3_s_right.gif"],
];

  var bmenuItems = [

["Item 1","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ], //style1
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ], //style2
["Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "2", "", "", ], //style3
];



Q: I am spending a lot more time and have figured a few things out. One more question please: How do I specify the target link I want a dhtml submenu to go to?

I see HREF specified in the code, but no where in the program to specify it.


A: See, the following parameter sets target for all items

  var itemTarget="_self";

If you want to set different target for each item you should set it inthe "Item Parameters" window. Choose your item in the main window andset target in the target field.


Q: I recently purchased DeluxeMenu for a project I'm working on and a new requirement has been submitted.
I am looking for a way to dynamically affectthe contents of menu javascripts
after it's been rendered(displayed) in the browser.
Can this be accomplished with this component?

A: 1) You can use API functions to affect items dynamically:

http://deluxe-menu.com/functions-info.html

2) Generate your menu items dynamically from database.
Unfortunately we don't have working example with ASP.

You may generate a menu from a database or XML using any server-side script, e.g., PHP, ASP, VB, etc.
However, these scripts don't work inside of Javascript .js files, so,
you should move parameters of a menu from a .js file into an html-page, e.g.:

<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">  var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2008, http://deluxe-menu.com -->

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
// and describe parameters of a menu
  var parameter1=value1;
  var parameter2=value2;
etc.

  var menuItems = [
// here you generate items using server-side scripts (php, asp, vb, etc.)
];
</script>>

The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:

Q: I have tried various different ways,I cannot get a separator image I have specified in the Separators section to display for the navigation-bar-menu. I have verified that the image exists, but still nothing.

A: To add a separator you should

//--- Separators
  var separatorImage=""; //for subitems (top items in vertical menu)
  var separatorWidth="100%";
  var separatorHeight="3px";
  var separatorAlignment="right";
  var separatorVImage="separator.gif"; //for the top items (subitems items in vertical menu)
  var separatorVWidth="100%";
  var separatorVHeight="2px";
  var separatorPadding="";

You can create separators using menuItems (you can do it in Deluxe
Tuner, use "Add separator" button), for example:

   ["||All Images","gallery_all.html", , , , "_self", , , , ],
   ["||-"],
   ["||Pricing & Ordering Info","gallery_pricing.html", , , ,"_self", , , , ],
