All menu global properties, where can I find documentation?

Post by Brannmark »

Building an ASP driven menu. In the process of setting up the table for "Global" menu properties like:

fixMozillaZIndex=true; //Fixes Z-Index problem with Mozilla browsers but causes odd scrolling problem, toggle to see if it helps
_menuCloseDelay=500;
_menuOpenDelay=150;
_subOffsetTop=2;
_subOffsetLeft=-2;


What else should I include in this table? Can find where the above mentioned properties are specified. Just other global properties?

_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=10 // Sub menu top offset
_subOffsetLeft=-10 // Sub menu left offset
( see the first url listed above)

maybe you are color-blind, as the explanations given there are green and red.

Yeah, I see them but I also know these variables exists:

_followSpeed
_followRate
_scrollAmount
_scrollDelay

So once again, why arent these listed under global variables / properties documentation?

Hi

its a good question, but you are asking the users (this is a users forum)
so why don´t you forward your question to the creators/producers/programmers ?

Cause I was under the impression that this was a support forum, and that the staff is reading these messages.

But thanks for your help and input so far.

Lets see what the makers has to say.

Hi

accept some comments:
Why do you need documentation on global parameters, which have self-explaining names and where the timing is controlled (as it is normally performed) in milliseconds or by a number per time unit ? And - I´m very certain, you haven´t even made efforts to find it by using the SEARCH function, item of the main menu.


_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=0 // Sub menu top offset
_subOffsetLeft=-3 // Sub menu left offset
_scrollAmount=3 // Only needed for Netscape 4.x
_scrollDelay=20 // Only needed for Netcsape 4.x

This was very easy to find by using the Search Item, Milonic Home Page, main menu.

Yes, but what I would like to have is a complete list of all these properties / variables as I'm building a system that will generate all the menus from a database. So I can add these into my system and give the "fields" a correct description so my users will understand what they are used for. Ie, are these all the properties / variables that one can set?

Yes, there is a list, but to me it seams uncomplete, when as you cleary see that there are other values that can be set than the listed ones.

All I wonder is what else isnt on the list, besides those I have found myself....

All I'm asking is for a complete list, so that I dont miss any value that might be needed. Sure, I have made my system flexiable for adding new properties and variables just by adding more fields to the tables, but I rather start with as complete as possible.

There was a request in September 2005 for such a list, I have revived that, in order to "mobilize" someone maybe to look after that. M.

What happends if I set these to false by default, would that make the menu work like not setting them at all??? Or are some true when not setting them?
