Insert Nav Menu

Keystrokes: None
Menu Command: Insert > Navigation Menu
 

This is a combination of HTML forms and JavaScript, which provides a viewer with a drop-down list of links to choose from. ScriptWorx generates all the code for you, but you must specify the following when prompted:

Number Of Items

The number of options you wish to appear in the menu. From one up to any number which a browser can cope with, but ten should be a rule-of-thumb as a maximum.

Name Of Menu

This is required for the JavaScript to work. Only basic a-z letters and 0-9 numbers.

You'll see a table in the middle of this window. Select the row (which is equal to one row on the menu) and enter the following values for it in the text boxes provided below the table.

Current Link

This specifies what page should be displayed when an option on the menu is selected.

Current Text

This is the text that will appear for that menu option.

Do this for each of your menu items, and then click "Ok" to add the menu to your page.

WARNING!: Netscape Navigator has problems if you use file://C:\ commands to local pages, so you should ideally just use the "relative" link style instead (eg. /directory/filename.html).
