Q: My mainmenu items are not links. So i need no link cursor. My submenu item are links, so i need a pointer(hand).
How can i define 2 different cursors. I tried all the possible settings for the cursor in the program but noting works.
I tried is also with a CSS class for the submenu, but that wasn't also working.
In brief: i want an arrow cursur in my mainmenu, and an hand cursor in my submenu. With smart scroll doesn't solve my problem.
Can you give me a hint to do this.
A: Unfortunately, you can't change cursor type for different items.
But you can write so:
["<a href='http://deluxe-menu.com/'>Home</a>","", , , , , , , , ],
["Product Info","", , , , , "0", , , ],
["|What's New","", , , , , "0", , , ],
In all items with links you should use <a> tag.
Set this parameter:
var itemCursor="default";
Q: I am using your Deluxe Tabs software, and I am simply trying to implement your dhtml menu samples:
http://deluxe-tabs.com/file/templates/deluxe-tabs-style-3.html
I have downloaded the trial software and built my tabs, but at this point, all I have is the tabs... I need the entire box under the tabs, and I need to be able to insert my content for each tab.
Please explain to me how to use your dhtml menu samples.
A: You should specify any Object ID name of the DIV.
See, for each item you should assign the ID property of the contentDIV (see data file with your menu parameters).
["Style Name","contentName", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Style Description","contentDescription", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Style Variations","contentVariations", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Empty","", "", "", "", "", "2", "", "", ],
And on your html page you should create DIV's with such ID. You canset background image for these DIV's in styles.
<div id="contentName" style="height: 0%; visibility: hidden; background-image: url('img/back.jpg'); background-repeat:repeat-y;" class="tabPage">
<br><br><br>
<p align=center><img src="img/style01_title.gif" width=140 height=90 alt="Glass Style Tabs"></p>
<br><br><br>
You should paste your content here!!!!!

Q: Can you please give me an example of how I would return the full path to the selected item of the web site menu?
A: See the following example:
function getFullPath(mInd){
var result='';
// get pressed item
var params = dm_ext_getMenuParams(mInd);
if (!(params[2]>=0)) return '';
function getPathForItem(mInd,smInd,itInd){
// get for this item
var params = dm_ext_getItemParams(mInd,smInd,itInd);
var result = params[2]+ '('+ params[3]+')';
// find root item id
if (smInd <= 0) return result;
params = dm_ext_getSubmenuParams(mInd,smInd);
for ( var smInd_=0;smInd_ for ( var itInd_=0;itInd_ itParam = dm_ext_getItemParams(mInd,smInd_,itInd_);
if (itParam[0]=arams[2])// id
return result + '->' + getPathForItem(mInd,smInd_,itInd_);
}
}
return result;
};
return getPathForItem(mInd,params[1],params[2]);
}
Q: We are using the javascript drop down menu code to create an external link. The absolute path is recognised but it does not work. At the bottom of the page the browser displays an "error on page" message and nothing happens.
A: Now you have
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "wdmenu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="wdmenu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath="wdtabs.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="wdtabs.files/wdtabs.js"></script>
The second call for dmWorkPath is incorrect. Delete it. So you'llhave:
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "wdmenu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="wdmenu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="wdtabs.files/wdtabs.js"></script>
Your menu will work correctly.
