Recent Questions Creating Menu With Java Treemap
Q: Can I create menus with cross-frame capability using your drop down menu generator?
With the menu beingin one frame and the submenus opening to the other frame?
A: See how should you create cross frame menu:
1. To initialize the cross frame menu call dm_initFrame()
function instead of standard dm_init() function within data.js file:
dm_initFrame(framesetID, mainFrameInd, subFrameInd, orientation);
framesetID - id attribute of the frameset;
mainFrameInd - index of the main frame (where the top-menu is placed), >=0;
subFrameInd - index of the subframe (where the submenus will be shown), >=0;
orientation - frame orientaion: 0 - top-to-bottom, 1 - left-to-right; 2 - bottom-to-top; 3 - right-to-left.
So you should create your menu in Deluxe Tuner, save it.
Create html file with your frame set.
Set ID for the first frameset:
<FRAMESET id=frmSet rows=220,*>
<FRAME id=frame1 src="JavaScript Tree Menu Samples_files/cross-frame-horizontal-1.htm"> //menu frame
<FRAME id=frame2 name=frame2 src="JavaScript Tree Menu Samples_files/testlink.htm"> //content frame
</FRAMESET>
Then you should open your data file in any text editor and change
dm_init(); for example to dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);

Q: I have a question regarding deluxe tab implementation.Can you guide me on how to change tab selection dynamically for the tabbed navigation.
A: Deluxe Tabs doesn't support API functions which can return the selected tab.
You can set "bselectedItem" and " var bselectedSmItem" parameters based on your link before you call your data file.
For example, move " var bselectedItem" and " var bselectedSmItem" parameters from your data file to your code.
<TD vAlign=top align=left>
/* Select Tab */
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem= var bselectedSmItem= </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, for example:
<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>
Q: I am using your Ajax menu and am generally delighted with it. Its ability to load sub menus on the fly is just what I have been looking for.
However, I have noticed in IE7 that it can leave sub menus displayed when you have moused off that particular ajax drop down menu. Can this be fixed?
Also, can you get the menu to disappear when you mouse off the menu, rather than having to hover over another menu or click the page off the menu.
A: See, now you've set the following parameter:
var smHidePause=-1;
It means that your submenus won't be hidden till you click or scroll your page.
If you want to hide your submenus on mouse out you should set another value, for example:
var smHidePause=1000;
or
var smHidePause=500;Q: Hi, is there a way to fire an event when a net javascript menu tab page loads? I want to turn on a section of the page that is not part of the tab when a tab page is made visible.
A: Actually you can use your own Javascript code instead standard links. For example:
var bmenuItems = [
["text", "javascript:your_code_here"]
];
or
var bmenuItems = [
["<div onClick='your_code_here'>item text</div>", ""]
];
