SiteGrinder

How do I make a basic graphical menu?


A SiteGrinder graphical menu (not a popup menu) is just a collection of graphical rollover buttons gathered in a layer set with the "-menu" hint.


There are two reasons to gather graphical buttons in this way:

  1. To let SiteGrinder handle the rollover hilite for the graphical buttons so that when the browser displays the page corresponding to one of the menu buttons it's hilite stays on. This option is available in the SiteGrinder window's "Settings" panel, and is named 'Menu Rollovers Track active page'.
  2. Set's with the "-menu" hint are automatically programmed as popup menus if there is a button or menu item elsewhere in the document with the same name. Thus a button layer named "Portfolio-button" it will trigger a menu named "portfolio-menu".
