A Menu Control/Component by Coalesys, Inc.

Advanced DHTML for the Browser
At the client, the run-time DHTML has many features and abilities. These are a few:

• MenuBar Object - WebMenu can render an optional horizontal or vertical MenuBar. The MenuBar responds to mouse click events in a manner consistent with many Operating System menus. (also can respond to mouse over)


• Button-less Menus - Client-side functions allow the developer to create their own menu buttons in HTML to control when a menu group will appear. The group's position can be relative to an HTML element (such as an Image) or be absolutely placed on the page.


• Drag & Dock - When using the MenuBar object, dragging enables users to position the MenuBar themselves. Docking can be used to affix the MenuBar to the top or bottom of the page.


• Intelligent Repositioning - All groups will detect the edge of the window and reposition accordingly so that the menu remains visible always. Advanced logic prevents group "stacking".


• Cover IE Select Boxes - Using a new technique, the MenuBar and groups can overlay IE Windowed objects (Select boxes, IFrames, Flash, etc.) without the need for hiding them.


• Scrollable Groups - When the size of a group exceeds the available window space, scroll buttons can be provided that allow the user to adjust the viewable portion of the group.

Highly Customizable Look - Colors, sizes, borders and fonts can all be customized to visually integrate with any project. Also supports custom image replacement throughout.
Client-side Events - In addition to navigating to a URL, you can invoke custom JavaScript functions at the browser when the user clicks on an Item.

Interchangeability
Because the WebMenu DLL is fully compliant with ActiveX, it can also be hosted within other components and even run on other web servers which support COM and Windows, such as ColdFusion 4 and PHP 4.

Cross-Browser Support
Automatically detects and renders a tailored DHTML menu for Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 - 6, Netscape Navigator 4 - 7, Opera 7, Mozilla and other Gecko-based browsers running on Windows, Mac and Linux.

Includes WebMenu Editor
A stand-alone design program that can be used to visually prototype a menu and save state files for loading directly by the WebMenu DLL..
