Q: When I click into a field and the calendar pops up that it doesn't pick up the date/time values.
I can display time in 12 or 24 hour format - however for the selection it only allows 24 hour format. My boss is yelling at me that it has to be in 12 hour selectable format.

But you haven't specified hour in the date format. Now you have
%L %d, %Y, %l: %M %p
month day year abbreviated month name minute either `am' or `pm'
So, you have: January 29, 2009, Jan:54 am

A: Unfortunately Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions now.
You can use the following function to open specific tab:
dtabs_itemClick(menuInd,itemInd);
where
menuInd - index of a tab menu on a page, >= 0.
itemInd - index of a item, >=0.
For example:
<DIV onClick="dtabs_itemClick(0,2)" style="width: 200px; border: 2px solid #000;">
Click to open the third tab
</DIV>
Q: It seems that if I try and use the syntax ["| with some HTML such as <DIV class = 'myclass'> inside dropdown menu it IGNORES the HTML and just treats it like another link.
But if I don't start the line with ["| ..... Then I get a syntax error.
For example:
I am trying to place 4 links in a square shape in the top left of my screen. To do this I was going to create DIV's and set the TOP and LEFT to different values from within a loop (I left out the code that does the updating for myleft and mytop...)
var menuItems = [
<loop>
["|<div style='position: absolute; left: <cfoutput>#myleft#</cfoutput>px; top: <cfoutput>#mytop#</cfoutput>px>'","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],
["|#ParentMenuDesc#","index.cfm?Workflow=#Workflow#&role=#Privilege_id#&cacheid=#createuuid()#&Process_Type=#Process_Type#&PageMode=#Process_Logic#", "#menu_option_icon#", "", "", "_top", "", "", "", "", "",],
["|</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],
<end loop>
];
What am I doing wrong here?.... Can you show me how to accomplish this task?
A: No, this syntax is incorrect. It won't work.
var menuItems = [
<loop>
["|<div style='position: absolute; left: <cfoutput>#myleft#</cfoutput>px; top: <cfoutput>#mytop#</cfoutput>px>'","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],
["|#ParentMenuDesc#","index.cfm?Workflow=#Workflow#&role=#Privilege_id#&cacheid=#createuuid()#&Process_Type=#Process_Type#&PageMode=#Process_Logic#", "#menu_option_icon#", "","", "_top", "", "", "", "", "",],
["|</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],<end loop>
];
You should have <div> ... </div> tags in each dropdown menu item!
It is not correctly to write <div> ... </div> tags for wholesubmenu.
var menuItems = [
["|<div style='position: absolute; left:<cfoutput>#myleft#</cfoutput>px; top: <cfoutput>#mytop#</cfoutput>px>text</div>'","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],
["|#ParentMenuDesc#","index.cfm?Workflow=#Workflow#&role=#Privilege_id#&cacheid=#createuuid()#&Process_Type=#Process_Type#&PageMode=#Process_Logic#", "#menu_option_icon#", "","", "_top", "", "", "", "", "",],
["| ","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "",],
];
