Menu setup values, or what ever they are called?

Post by Brannmark »

_menuCloseDelay=500 // The time delay for menus to remain visible on mouse out
_menuOpenDelay=150 // The time delay before menus open on mouse over
_followSpeed=5 // Follow scrolling speed
_followRate=40 // Follow scrolling Rate
_subOffsetTop=10 // Sub menu top offset
_subOffsetLeft=-10 // Sub menu left offset
_scrollAmount=3 // Only needed for Netscape 4.x
_scrollDelay=20 // Only needed for Netcsape 4.x

This values, can they be set for each menu, or are they for every menu on the page???

Just wondering as how I should set this up in the asp code, if I should loop a recodset or just print whats on the first recodset position...

Here's the way I 'think' it is (from the top down)...

1 & 2 - global (unless there's something in an effect/filter I haven't seen yet)
3 & 4 - individual, as followscroll="1,100,2", for instance
5 & 6 - individual
7 & 8 - global

See the complete parameter listings on the main site for more details.

They are all global in the sense that all the menus reference them if need be...aka all the menus will have the same suboffsets. But I havent gotten a chance to check this yet (but I will tomorrow morning), but I will see WHEN the menus access these variables. If they access when they are created, then it would be okay to reset them inbetween menus and you could get menus, for example, that have different suboffsets. But if they are referenced when the menu is opened, then you cant change them individually.

My definitions were probably bad. By 'global' I meant I do not think those items can be changed on an individual menu basis. 'Individual' meant those parameters can be changed for individual menus.
