Hey, I was wondering if anybody has whooped the menu into submission for submenus? Particularly for version 3.4

Not sure about the other folks, but I'd need a bit more 'real' information before I can try to help

Well, I thought I made it clear- sorry. I was wondering if anybody knows how to add submenu's for version 3.4 of the menu. I am not exactly clear on it. -Thanks

Follow Andy's examples that came in the menu_array.js file when you downloaded the script. Something like this...

At the end of the "mainmenu" section of the array file you define your main menu items. Example...

,"Introduction","show-menu=careerplan","intro.htm","Introduction",1

That will show (in order) a main menu item called "Introduction", call for a sub-menu called 'careerplan', point the main menu item "Introduction" to intro.htm, put the message "Introduction" in the status bar, and add a separator bar to the menu (not all the items are required). Have as many main menu items as you need.

Next you need a sub-menu called (in this example) careerplan. Comes right below the ]) at the end of the mainmenu section. Looks something like this...

addmenu(menu=["careerplan",,,305,1,"",style1,,"left",effect,,,,,,,,,,,,
,"STEPS to Successful Career Planning - Overview","intro.htm#steps",,"The Career Planning Process",0

Again, have as many items as you need for the sub-menu, and finish each sub off with a ]) .

That help?

Forgot. Since you're just starting your menu you might as well download the new 3.5 version. It's current.
