Function

Values
|
|
General parameters
|
audioclick
audiomove
|
Sounds produced by any mouse click or mouse move
action over the menu. (Sounds can also be individualised
for entries using entries in the index file.)
|
The name of an .au file
|
copyright
|
Fixed parameter which must be present for the menu to work.
|
Copy and paste exactly from the starter package or demos.
|
entry
|
For entering menu information via parameter.
Parameter name must be suffixed by the number
of the entry - zero-based.
|
The format is described in the index file
documentation.
|
entryheight
|
Vertical space assigned to menu entries is
normally the same as the icon
image height (see parameter imgheight); the
vertical space may be increased or decreased
using this parameter.
|
A small positive or negative integer.
|
entryindent
|
The pixel distance by which a tree view
sub-menu shifts horizontally relative to
its parent.
|
An integer - 8 to 16 is recommended.
|
escapepage
|
Sets the page loaded by the applet if any
fatal error is detected by the applet.
|
Should normally be the HTML name of your
non-java menu page; the page should be in
the same directory as the applet.
|
menustyles
|
The number of styles in your stylesheet.
|
2 to 127.
|
menuanimspeed
|
The animation speed of sliding when folders
open and close.
|
0: off
1-50: speeds from slowest (1) to fastest (50)
|
menuclosetrigger
|
The number of menu entries actually visible at
which the applet triggers an automatic tidy-up
by closing old folders.
|
0-400.
|
menudeftarget
|
If any entries in the index are not assigned a
target frame in the link command, this parameter
specifies the default target frame.
|
The name of a frame as set in your <FRAME> tags.
|
menufile
|
The name of the first index file to be loaded
into the applet. If using parameters to load
the first index, leave out this parameter.
|
Anything delivering an ASCII stream. Normally
a .txt file created by the development
environment. The stream or file must originate
from a URL that is the same directory as or a sub-directory of
the directory holding the applet.
|
menuXoffset
menuYoffset
|
Move the whole menu around relative
to the sides of the applet.
|
Integers.
|
locklevel
|
Folders at this indentation level, and folders
hierarchically above this level (their parents)
can never be closed. This forces the top elements
of the tree to remain open all the time.
(From version 7)
|
A very small integer, preferably 1 or 2.
|
forcelevel
|
Similar to locklevel, except that it only
prevents folder auto-closing. A click on one of these
semi-locked folders can still nevertheless force a close.
(From version 7)
|
A very small integer, preferably 1 or 2.
|
onLoad
|
When the applet has loaded, it can trigger
a javascript of your choosing. Don't use
this to fire anything back the applet or
a loop may cause timing problems. (From version 7)
|
The name of a javascript function in your HTML page
|
tips
|
Switches to tooltips feature on and off.
Switching it off may improve performance.
|
on / off
|
bounce
|
Switched the folder bouncing on and off.
Switching it off will increase the speed
of folder opening.
|
on / off
|
loadtext
|
Text message to display while applet
is loading (from version 7)
|
A string
|
indexmaxsize
|
The maximum number of entries the applet
should hold client-side at any one time.
Make this too high, and performance may
suffer. To manage very high index sizes,
use the DRILL, ADD, INSERT and dynamic
index-reading facilities. (From version 7)
|
An integer, preferably between about 500 and 5000.
|
|
Graphics parameters
|
bgcolour
|
The background colour. Set this even when using
a background image.
|
An HTML hex code value. Do not preface with #.
|
bgimage
|
A background image for the menu. Tiled to fit
if necessary just like an HTML background.
|
A JPG or GIF file. All image files must be
in the same directory as or a sub-directory of
the directory holding the applet.
|
imgfile
|
A set of images for icons.
If unspecified, default icons are created.
|
A JPG or GIF file. All image files must be
in the same directory as or a sub-directory of
the directory holding the applet.
|
imgheight
imgwidth
|
The height and width of the individual images
contained in the file specified by imgfile
above. Allows the applet to disect out the individual
images.
|
Pixel sizes.
|
imgXoffset
imgYoffset
|
If your index file specifies graphic images
to replace or put alongside text, you can
correct their positioning if necessary.
|
Integers specifying pixel distances. Negative
moves the images up or left.
|
imgtranscol
|
Image resources for the applet should not use
a transparent index as this is interpreted
unreliably in java. For greater reliability use
non-transparent image files, and specify a colour
using these parameters which the applet should
make transparent.
|
An HTML hex code value. Do not preface with #.
|
scrollvert
|
Controls the positioning and appearance of
vertical scrolls.
|
0: off
1: "normal"
2: depending on applet, may result in forced
appearance even when not needed, or appearing
on both sides of the applet.
Negative/positive values: may switch the
scrollbar from left to right or top to bottom.
|
scrollimages
|
A specially formatted image file with symbols
for creating user-defined scrollbars. We provide
a small library of scrollbars and instructions
for making your own. If this parameter is not
specified, each menu applet has a default internal
scrollbar. To deactivate scrollbars, set the above
parameters (not this one) to zero.
|
A JPG or GIF file. All image files must be
in the same directory as or a sub-directory of
the directory holding the applet.
|
scrolljump
|
Sets the distance by which a single click on the
end of a scrollbar will scroll the menu up or down.
Specifies a percentage of the maximum scrollable
distance.
|
10 to 100. Do not include % sign.
|
scrollwidth
|
The width of the scrollbar. If an image
file is used to create the scrollbar appearance,
this must specify the pixel height of the image
file.
|
An integer, normally about 6 to 16.
|
frameimage
|
A border image to go around the menu. Will not
work until a border width greater than zero has
also been set (see below). If necessary, the image
will be tiled to fit like an HTML background image.
Can be used for shadow and other effects.
|
A JPG or GIF file. All image files must be
in the same directory as or a sub-directory of
the directory holding the applet.
|
frameleft
frameright
frametop
framebottom
framewidth
|
Specify the border widths for the border image.
All four sides can have a different width - useful
with shadow or title borders.
|
Integers.
|
Text parameters
|
|
Note that most of these parameters are stylesheet
parameters. If the parameters are suffixed with nothing,
they set the stylesheet defaults (globally). If a stylesheet parameter
is suffixed with a number, then only a single style in the stylesheet is
set. Styles are only available if the menustyles
parameter is set correctly. The numbers suffixed on the
ends of stylesheet parameter names must correspond with the
stylesheet markers in the index file.
|
textNcolour
textHcolour
textScolour
|
Stylesheet parameters, specifying respectively
the normal text colour, the highlighted (mouse-over,
focus) text colour, and the shadow colour behind
the text (if specified). Shadows are switched off
using the textshadow parameter.
|
An HTML hex code value. Do not preface with #.
|
textAcolour

Stylesheet parameters with extended colour
effects of various kinds. Active and visited
text colour states and a background colour.
