OverviewThank you for using Selteco Menu Maker. Menu Maker enables you to design DHTML dropdown menus for your web pages. Your menu is saved as simple JavaScript file, and can be easily included in any web page. JavaScript menu created using Menu Maker is safe for any browser version. Menus are compatible with following browsers:
Getting StartedThe document consists of two panes. Left pane with menu tree, right pane with browser preview, updated live whenever the menu content changes. To add new menu item use "Add Item" command located in "Edit" menu. Specify menu name in the dialog and the URL. New item is added after currently selected item.Menu ModesMenu Maker provides 2 ways to create your web menu - "relative" and "fixed""Relative" menu is easier to design and integrate with your web page. It appears on the page according to current html flow, wherever included using "script" tag. It doesn't need exact positioning and specifying width or height of the menu. "Fixed" menu provides additional submenu level. It is independent of the html flow, you have to specify x and y position, menu width and height. Unlike "relative" menu, "fixed" menu is compatible with browsers other than Internet Explorer. To position fixed menu on the screen choose "Fixed Menu Properties" command under "Menu" menu.
Switching Menu ModesTo switch between "fixed" or "relative" mode use commands located under "Menu" menu:
Using the menu on your pageTo include the menu in your page you need to perform 2 steps:
Free HTMLFreeHTML option gives you virtually unlimited access to menu cell contents. You can use any HTML tags available for HTML body, such as <B>, <FONT> or <TABLE>. Menu Maker does not verify your HTML code so you are responsible for checking your syntax and closing HTML tags. You can not use line breaks in the code.Base URLBase URL is used to resolve relative links in HTML code. You have to specify base URL when including images with relative paths or using relative links, otherwise the images will not be visible. To specify base URL go to Select Base URL in the Menu menu. Base URL is valid only in design mode, it is not saved with .js file. If it's necessary you have to include base URL in your page by your own. The syntax is:<BASE HREF="yoururl"> Base URL is usually your home page or the folder on your hard drive with your home page. |
