Among the Dynamix parameters, there's a CloseOnExit parameter which determines whether the menu closes when the mouse moves out of it. It's a fundamental behavior characteristic, and you may feel that your choice won't suit all users of your site. For this reason, we've added a public method to Dynamix which you can address via JavaScript. This way, you can add a form checkbox to the page containing Dynamix to toggle the CloseOnExit option. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Add the word MAYSCRIPT to your applet tag, along with a NAME= attribute assigning a unique name to this instance of the applet, so that it looks something like this:

   <APPLET CODE="ryElevator.class" WIDTH=200 HEIGHT=400 ARCHIVE="Elevator.jar" NAME="dynamix" MAYSCRIPT>

2. Add the following script to the page, making sure the name (in bold text) matches the name you assigned to the applet in step one:

   <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
   function toggleMenu()
   {
   document.dynamix.setCloseOnExit(document.frm.checkbox1.checked);
   }
   </SCRIPT>

3. Add the following HTML form code to your page where the checkbox should appear. The text in bold type can be anything you like.

   <FORM NAME="frm">
   <LABEL FOR="checkbox1"><INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME="checkbox1" ID="checkbox1" ONCLICK="toggleMenu()" CHECKED>Auto-collapse menu</LABEL>
   </FORM>

4. Finally, if you've set your CloseOnExit parameter to 'No', remove the word CHECKED from the INPUT tag above so that the initial state of the checkbox matches the initial behavior of the menu.
