Q: We just bought your product suite including deluxe tabs control. For some reason that the tabs onload is not working in IE 7 only. It works in IE 6 and FF, Chrome and Safari. Attached is the sample page which will show the problem. I also attached our receipt of order for your reference.
Pleae help me to figure out what is the problem with my code ASAP.
A: Try to set exact height for your content DIV. Change height:0%; to height:200px;
<div id="content1" style="height: 200px; visibility: hidden;" class="tabPage">
<div id="content1" style="height:0%; visibility: hidden;" class="tabPage">
Q: I am currently using your free trial version to see if it will work with an application I am working on. I am having a problem with using it in cross-frames mode when the frame that the sub menu appears in has a vertical scrollbar. Basically I have a header frame and a large content frame below it. The menu itself is appearing in the header frame and the sub menus are dropping down and appearing in the lower frame. There is a vertical scrollbar in the lower (content) frame and when I scroll down, the sub menus get scrolled off the screen. This is because they are being rendered at the very top of the content frame and disappear when the top of the frame is no longer visible due to scrolling. Setting the floatable = 1 attribute does not work because the menu itself is not being scrolled off the screen, just the sub-menu drop down is being scrolled off. Is there anything I can do to make this work with my framed application? Thank you for your time.
A: Unfortunately submenus won't float in cross-frame mode. Deluxe Menudoesn't have such feature now.
Q: I have a popup that in one of the submenus has an input field. There is a problem – if the user clicks into the entry field, but moves the mouse outside the java swing menu, the menu can close while the user is still typing. Is there any way to prevent that from happening?
A: You can make submenus to stay visible till you click outside the menu or scroll your page.To enable this feature you should set the following parameter:
var smHidePause=-1;
You can set this parameter to each submenu individually usingIndividual Submenu Styles.
Q: Can you please give me tips on how I can style all menuitems to have font bold when selected and normal font when not selected?
A: Unfortunately, Deluxe Tree doesn't have such a feature. You can onlyset it's color. You cannot set the font of menu item bold when selected.
You can set menu item's font bold onMouseover, see example here:
http://deluxe-tree.com/data-templates/vista-style-7-template-sample.html
You should addthe following code in your data file:
function changeFont(obj, over)
{
obj.style.fontWeight = over ? 'bold' : 'normal';
obj.style.fontSize = over ? '13px' : '12px'; // You can not use this line
}
