Example Working Page: THE ORIGINAL PAGE PROVIDED BY CPRIEST HAS BEEN REMOVED, I created a page to show this as a working function, though it is not the exact page as originally provided http://support.milonic.com/ruth/column_test.html
In order to use this, the key is the "onfunction=myShowMenu()" directive, this must be placed/used for all items in the any menu that will have columned submenu. This is used instead of 'ShowMenu' function so that it will call/ use the created function which is placed in the menu_data file.
Code: Select all
_menuCloseDelay=500 // The time delay for menus to remain visible on mouse out
_menuOpenDelay=150 // The time delay before menus open on mouse over
_subOffsetTop=7 // Sub menu top offset
_subOffsetLeft=-15 // Sub menu left offset
