Recent Questions Code Save Tree Menu Item Sothink
Q: I've been working with your javascript menu sample and like what I see so far. One issue I have seems to be with the smColumns variable. I'm assuming it was for just the sub menus but in the trial when I change this the entire menu goes into multi- column mode. I exported the project to HTML thinking I could manually change it there, that produced the same result, changed the entire menu to multi-column.
Our menu will be dynamic (populated from SQL Server) with only some of the sub menus being multi-column. We will even have multiple sub menus for certain items and we'll need to have the capability to set which one of those will be displayed in Multi-columns and which ones will not. (See Below) So the question becomes; Is there a way to set the number of columns only for the javascript menu sample subitems we desire to have multi-column and if so how?
A: You should use Individual Styles and set number of javascript menu sample submenu columns foreach submenu individually.
var menuStyles = [
["smColumns=2","smOrientation=undefined"],
];
Q: I am setting up a 3 tab script and each tab opens a new page but the state of the javascript tab menu selected reverts back to the default tab.а Howdo I keep the tab selected when advancing to the next tab (new page)?
A: You should change the selected tab depending on the page you are now.
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) or using any server-side script (php, asp, etc.)
Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return theselected tab.
So, you can set "bselectedItem" parameter based on your link beforeyou call data.js file.
For example, move "bselectedItem" parameter from data.js file to yourcode.
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem=<?php echo $seltabs; ?>;
</script>
<SCRIPT src="data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
</TD>
You should define seltabs using server side script.

You should place this folder in thesame folder with your index. html page.Try that.Q: I like your product and we would like to use it for our web-site.
Our site uses Frames with the following names in the FrameSet:
frame name = “top”
frame name = “middle”
frame name = “bottom”
I don’t understand how to set the target of the Deluxe Tuner navigational link to populate the frame “middle” or “bottom”
When I try to input my own name it will not allow me to do so.
We are using the “top” (horizontal) frame as a header which will contain the navigational component we developed using your product.
We are using the “middle” frame to contain most of the html pages the user will load
We are using the “bottom” frame to contain auxiliary text
Can you help me?
A: More info about the installation of the menu in cross-frame mode youcan find here
http://deluxe-menu.com/cross-frame-mode-sample.html
You should replace dm_init() function with dm_initFrame() function.
Please, open your data.js file with the menu parameters in any texteditor and change it.
You should write, for example so:
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 1, 2, 0);
