- PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
- *******************
-
- AllWebMenus is a dhtml/javascript menu builder for
- web site navigation that requires absolutely no DHTML
- or Javascript experience from you.
- It creates cross-browser, popup or drop down menus
- that work alike in all browsers supporting DHTML
- (both Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer).
-
- A Javascript menu can be designed with a simple,
- tree-like approach.
- You can then fully customize it by using the
- Properties Pane or by choosing a predefined appearance
- from the Style Gallery. It can be either vertical or
- horizontal (popup or drop down menu), it can be movable,
- stay visible while scrolling, contain static or
- animated images, borders, colors and much more!
-
- Once everything is set, you can use the Compile Menu
- amd Link Compiled Menu commands to add your menu in the
- web page in a fast and easy manner,
- without any code involved!
-
-

- your menus to web pages and use them on the Internet.

- Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator browsers.
