Q: I still am unable to make content show for each menu with dhtml tab.
I can make it open a new webpage, but that isnt what I want.
What I want is when the visitor clicks a tab, then content for that tab shows, on the same page, and the tab menu still there.
A: 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 theDIV'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 menu with dhtml 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: But given the sample on
http://deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html#ind
we want to delete menuentry 'Sample1' and do
dm_ext_deleteItem(2, 4, 0)
This raises an error but according to your javascript menu master manual the first argument should be the menuindex ....which is 2 in our opinion.
A: See, if you have several menus on your page they will have differentID's, for example:
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data1.js"></script> //ID=0
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data2.js"></script> //ID=1
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data3.js"></script> //ID=2
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu/data4.js"></script> //ID=3
So, if you have only one menu on your test page you should use ID=0
Q: Hi there, hope someone could help me out.
We have recently purchased your menu product, and I would like to know how I indicate on a javascript slide menu, the root node that was selected. So in other words, if I have a horizontal navigation and I select the 3rd index along the menu and select something from this, how can I make the 3rd index highlighted?
I am not sure how else to phrase this question and hope this makes sense. You help will be appreciated.
A: You can find more info here:
http://www.deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html
Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Slide Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem. You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
Q: I made a html CD presentation based on cascading drop down menu but it works good only onIE and Google Chrome web browsers.
It doesn't work good on Mozilla Firefox browser. It shows menu properly but there is a problem with normal navigation.
The problem is with paths. I put the main js file in "menu" folder and I also have few folders with many html files in them.
For path I use the following "file:/(direct path to specific html file)". It works fine with IE and Google, but Mozilla/Firefox doesn't show the menu.
I tried also to use prefix "file:/" but it also doesn't show the cascading drop down menu on Mozilla/Firefox.
Is there any way to solve this problem?
Thank you for your answer.
A: It is not correct to add "file:/" in the link field.
You should write:
menu/image.gif
or
../menu/image.gif
You can try also to write links in the following way:
file://html/other/1.html
But I don't think that this will help you.
This is a feature of Firefox browser, Opera and Safari. These browsers cannot determine the root folder ofthe website (D:\ in the examples below) on a local machine (as IE and Google Chrome).
IE: D:\html\other\page.html (works)
Opera: file://localhost/html/other/page.html (link doesn't work)
Google Chrome: file:///D:/html/other/page.html (works)
Safari: file:///html/other/page.html (link doesn't work)
Firefox: file:///html/other/page.html (link doesn't work)
You use relative paths (and your folders have several embedded folders), so your links won'twork correctly in Firefox, Opera and Safari. The reason is not in the menu. Standard linkswon't work too.
So I think that the unique solution in your case is to move ALL link files (1.html,2.html, a.html ...) into the same folder with your index.html file.
