Q: I am setting up a 3 tab script and each tab opens a new page butthe state of the tab selected reverts back to the default tab.
How do I keep the tab selected for the html vertical tabs 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.
Q: I am using the dhtml-tabs code. I have 2 tabs that I use for a basic form and an advanced form. The advanced form is on the second tab. When I submit, I get results. When I click the back button, the selected tab is the first one, and not the second. Is there a way to configure the tabs to be persistent or sticky. Such that clicking on the back button will result on being on the second tab, which was the last dynamic drop menu tab before going to a new page?
A: You can try to use the following dynamic drop menu function:
dtabs_itemClick(0,1)
To open your second tab.

Q: If is there any way I can give some space between pressed_item and hover item for the rollover menus
A: You can try to specify spacing parameter:
var itemSpacing=1;
You can also try to use separators.
You should add separator between menu items:
["item","#", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["-",],
["item","#", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Use "Add Separator button in Deluxe Tuner.
Set separator parameters in the following way:
//--- Separators
var separatorImage="";
var separatorWidth="100%";
var separatorHeight="2px";
var separatorAlignment="left";
var separatorVImage="data.files/separator.jpg";
var separatorVWidth="2px";
var separatorVHeight="100%";
var separatorPadding="0px";
