Property Values - an explanation of their use and meaning

Property Values - an explanation of their use and meaning:

All properties are composed of the property name followed by a colon and a value that is quoted if it is a literal or unquoted if it is a pure number or true/false value. All property values are followed by a comma except for the last one for a given menu (usually the links/headings array). All properties have the default values shown and are therefore optional, unless described as REQUIRED.

id:"menu1", // A unique id is REQUIRED for each menu

wrapbar:false, // For left and right menus only, will wrap the 'draw' bar around the bottom of the menu if true

menutop:150, // For left and right menus only, the initial distance from the top of the page

keepinview:30, // For left and right menus and only with kviewtype:'absolute' - distance from top after page has scrolled beyond menutop

menuleft:"50%", // For top menu only, initial left position. May be an unquoted number referring to pixels or a quoted percentage value.ex: menuleft:400, - for pixels, no units or quotes used or menuleft:'45%' - quotes and percent sign for % value

menuspeed:20, // Speed of menu sliding, smaller is faster (interval of milliseconds)

menupause:500, // How long menu stays extended when mouse is not over it (in milliseconds)

d_colspan:2, // Number of columns to make available in the menu body

allowtransparent:false, // Ordinarily, the table's bgcolor is the border color, use true here to make it transparent

barwidth:22, // Width of 'draw' bar (this will be its height for the top menu The below hdingwidth plus (for left and right menus) the above barwidth and (2+d_colspan) times the borderwidth will be used for the table's width.

hdingwidth:149, // This will be the menu body width as well as any single column headings.

hdingheight:22, // Heading height

hdingindent:1, // Text indent for headings

linkheight:16, // This will be the height for linked cells

outbrdwidth:0, // If an outer border (for the containing division) is desired, this will be its width. A single unquoted pixel value without units or quoted top right bottom left values may be used, ex: outbrdwidth:5, or outbrdwidth:'5px', or outbrdwidth:'2px 3px 2px 5px',

outbrdcolor:"none", // Outer border color

outbrdstyle:"none", // Outer border style ('solid', 'dashed', 'outset', etc.)

borderwidth:1, // Border width used inside menus and for menu table (unquoted number without units referring to pixels)

bordercolor:"black", // Border color used inside menus and for menu table

baralign:"center", // Bar text align

menufont:"verdana", // Font for menu, use any you like, defaults to sans-serif if not supported

fontsize:"80%", // Font size, use quoted percent value

hdingcolor:"white", // Headings - text color

hdingbgcolor:"#170088", // Headings - background color

hdingfontweight:"bold", // Headings - font weight

hdingvalign:"middle", // Headings - vertical align

hdingtxtalign:"left", // Headings - text align

linktopad:0, // Top padding for links, use quoted em values (@8px each) or 0

linktxtalign:"left", // Links text align

linktarget:"", // Default link target

menupos:"left", // Menu position - left, top, or right

bartext:"SIDE MENU", // Text for 'draw' bar. Quoted <img> tag may be used, ex: bartext:'<img src="my_bar.gif">',

user_defined_stylesheet:false, // Set to true if you wish to override the script's stylesheet

user_defined_markup:false, // Set to true if you wish to override the script's markup

design_mode:false, // Set to true to see the generated styles and markup

kviewtype:'absolute', // The method used to keep menu visible when page is scrolled - 'fixed' or 'absolute'. Fixed will not appear to move at all while 'absolute' will follow scrolling in a fluid motion: defaults to 'absolute' (floating) unless menu is top menu.
