ActiveMenu Notes             

  • Note that the arrow-symbol on the button is in a fixed position relative to the right-edge of the button; a long 'Label' string may cover it. If this happens, just increase the applet's width (or remove the arrow using the ShowArrow parameter).

  • Button-label and arrow-symbol are vertically centered on the button. Changing the applet's height, or increasing the 'ButtonHeight' parameter won't spoil this layout.

  • The color of the spacers will usually match that of your chosen 'MenuColor' value. The only exceptions are a white menu and a black menu - the spacer for these will be gray.

  • When testing your implementation, there are times when you don't want a click to link anywhere. ActiveMenu has several options to prevent that happening: either (1) drag the mouse out of the menu before releasing it; (2) leave URL parameters blank -- ie. with nothing betwen the double-quotes; or (3) insert a hash symbol # before the URL. The third method is special to CodeBase, and has the advantage that you don't need to remove URLs when testing colors and sounds, but do remember to delete those hash symbols when you're done testing!
