Can a Main Menu option also link to a page?

[mperemsky]

For example, let's say I have a Gallery menu item with 3 sub menu items (vacation, birthday, xmas). Is there a way to click on the Gallery main menu option and have it load a page?

Yes...

Code: Select all

aI("text=Student Affairs;showmenu=stuaff;url=http://www.west.asu.edu/sa/;image=/sai/graphics/xpblank.gif;status=Student Affairs Home Page;");

Note this has both showmenu and url statements.

See it at http://westcgi.west.asu.edu/sai/ under the Home menu.

After being thouroughly confused by the example. I checked the file I have and it has Version 3.x listed at the top. I tried to download the menu again and it still lists Version 3.x at the top.

Is there a way to do this in version 3.x?

Since you posted your question to the v5 section of the Forum I gave you a v5 answer.

However, the answer is still yes...

Code: Select all

,"Item Title","show-menu=whatever","link.htm","Status bar text if desired",1

I did not realize that I had v3 until I saw your response. Not sure why I went with 3 insted of 5. I think it had to do with frames (which I am no longer using).

Thanks for the help. Maybe I will see what v5 offers and make the change.

No problem.

Trust me, v5 is the way to go. Andy will still support v3, but no more development will be done on it. v5 will have all the goodies, and more to come.
