Q: When you hover over words the background color is light blue - How do I change dhtml context menu so that the color when you hover over items is different?

var itemBackColor=["#FCEEB0","#65BDDC"];
Q: How can I from javascript code change a displayed tab selection to another one in the dynamic menu tabs... lets say from first tab to the third tab?
A: This Tabs menu can save pressed item automatically within1 page only.
If you open another page, the menu can't remember presseditem.
You should do that manually using Javascript and menu parameters
( var bselectedItem and var var bselectedSmItem) or using any server-side script (php, asp, etc.)
Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab.
If your site is written on PHP you can set "bselectedItem" and "varbselectedSmItem" parameters
based on your link beforeyou call your data file.
For example, move "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; ?>;
</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></SCRIPT>
</TD>
Try that.
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: How do I get a second javascript popup window on the same page?
A: You should create another popup for the second link. Notice that you should use differentID's:
<a id="win2" href="javascript:;">
<img height="173" align="bottom" width="150" x-sas-useimageheight="" x-sas-useimagewidth="" src="gifs/vargas2.gif"/>
</a>
in Deluxe Tuner specify another parameters:
WinID = window2
(Use another winID than you have in your first data file if you don't want to
close 1-st popup window after you open the 2-nd one or use the same winID=win if you want to close 1-st popup.)
new url
onClick = win2
Save this popup (use another name, for example: popup2.html).
