  • Create individual styles and assign them to any submenu and item. Use individual styles to achieve stunning effects!

Recent Questions

Q: Can you please give me tips on how I can style all menuitems to have font bold when selected and normal font when not selected?

A: Unfortunately, Deluxe Tree doesn't have such a feature. You can onlyset it's color. You cannot set the font of menu item bold when selected.

You can set menu item's font bold onMouseover, see example here:
http://deluxe-tree.com/data-templates/vista-style-7-template-sample.html

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 tmenuItems = [

["<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>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],

["<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Appearance</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>User Accounts</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
 ["|<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Personalization</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],

["<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Additional Options</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];

Please, notice also that you should add this function every time whenyou change your menu in Deluxe Tuner application, as Tuner deletesthis function.



Q: I need to include background images for my navigation, so I put them in the same folder where the "data.js" file can be found. I am using the deluxe tuner in order to call these files and it looks great in the preview. As soon as I save the file and load it in the browser, the background images are missing.

Your solution refers to creating absolute paths using
  var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";

I have implemented this solution but I still think the problem persists.


A: Now you set pathPrefix parameter:
  var pathPrefix_img = "http://www.domain/folder/menudir/dataAlumni.files/";

And you have such images paths, for example:
  var arrowImageSub=["dataAlumni.files/submenuIconOff.gif","dataAlumni.files/submenuIconOn.gif"];

So you have such paths for arrows:
http://www.domain/folder/menudir/dataAlumni.files/dataAlumni.files/submenuIconOff.gif

It is not right.

You should write your paths so:
  var arrowImageSub=["submenuIconOff.gif","submenuIconOn.gif"];

Please, correct it.


Q: Is there anyway of selecting index location of the dhtml tab according to what webpage you are on ?

A: Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab aslo.

You can set "bselectedItem" and "  var bselectedSmItem" parametersbased on your link before you call your data file.

For example, move "  var bselectedItem" and "  var bselectedSmItem" parametersfrom 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; ?&g5t;;
</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>
</TD>



Q: Should it possible to make a meta tag (or script) so the menu don't put anything on the local computer?

A: If you don't want the page will be cached, try to use standard htmltags, for example:


<META http-equiv=Cache-Control content="no-cache, must-revalidate">
<META http-equiv=Pragma content=no-cache>

See more in a HTML manual.
