===================================================================== WebMenu Studio Code Snippets File ===================================================================== This file is a quick reference for some of the code which you will use in the main HTML file. For full details, please refer to the WebMenu Help file. There are 4 main requirements for integrating WebMenu with HTML your file: 1. JavaScript Include statement which calls the Loader code. 2. Load event handler which handles any necessary behavior when the page is finished loading. 3. Resize event handler which handles any necessary behavior when the browser window is resized. 4. (Optional) If not using the MenuBar object, invoking cswmShow() and cswmHide() when you want to display a menu. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Javascript Include Statement --------------------------------------------------------------------- The following script tag should be placed directory after the tag in your document, or directly before the tag. If using a relative positioned MenuBar object, place this line in location where you want the MenuBar to appear (such as in between tags). --------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Load Event Handler --------------------------------------------------------------------- In certain situations, instructions need to be carried out to set up any MenuBar options, such as the MenuBar position on the page or the Dock state. This is accomplished by invoking cswmMenuBarInit() as a Load event handler. Attaching this function to the Load event can be accomplished several ways: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Choice a. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Attach to OnLoad event via HTML Body tag: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Choice b. ------------------------------------------------------------------ You can append or prefix to already existing OnLoad event: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Choice c. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Attach to OnLoad via script: window.onload = MyLoadHandler; function MyLoadHandler() { cswmMenuBarInit(); } --------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Resize Event Handler --------------------------------------------------------------------- In certain situations, the DHTML code will need to carry out instructions when the browser is resized. This is accomplished by invoking cswmRefresh() as a Resize event handler. This can be accomplished several ways: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Choice a. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Attach to OnResize event via HTML Body tag: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Choice b. ------------------------------------------------------------------ You can append or prefix to already existing OnResize event: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Choice c. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Attach to OnResize via script: window.onresize = MyResizeHandler; function MyResizeHandler() { cswmRefresh(); } --------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Invoking cswmShow() and cswmHide() --------------------------------------------------------------------- If you are not using the MenuBar object (MenuBar.DisplayMode = None), then you can invoke the cswmShow() and cswmHide() functions as necessary to display the menu's groups from custom areas on the page. The following statements demonstrate several different ways to control the placement of the menu, which react to MouseOver and MouseOut events. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Relative Position Below an : ----------------------------------------------------------------- In this sample statement, an HTML is used as the Button for displaying the menu group with the ID of "File". Note that the contains both and id= and name= attribute with the same value. This is so that the WebMenu's DHTML code can target the for automatic relative positioning.

----------------------------------------------------------------- Relative Position Below an , with 10 px offset: ----------------------------------------------------------------- In this sample statement, an HTML is used as the Button for displaying the menu group with the ID of "File". The menu appears in relation to the Button, but is offset by 10 px from the Buttons position.

----------------------------------------------------------------- Absolute Position at coordinates 50 x 50: ----------------------------------------------------------------- In this sample statement, a standard HREF anchor invokes the cswmShow() function to display a menu at the specified coordinates.
