.
- This is a drop-down menu with multi-level submenus.
- Move the mouse over the menu to activate submenus and effects.
- This demonstration illustrates the volume capacity of X-Bar menus.
This menu navigates through over 1000 menu entries. You may only
believe this because they are all numbered. The menu only uses
3 of the 10 available sub-levels for this, and only a few centimetres
of screen space, yet the speed at which you can reach any desired
menu entry is higher than on any other kind of menu (including trees).
- This applet has been successfully tested with a single index of 100,000
entries.
- This demonstration also shows an effect that can by achieved
be subtle adjustment of the overlap parameter. The pop-up menus
overlap by exactly 1 pixel, making the blue "boxes" lign up exactly
with each other.
- When using particularly large menus (10,000+), the main issue
is not applet performance, but transferring the index from
the server to the client. A 10,000 item menu can easily
take up almost a megabyte of server space, depending how much
text you write and how complex the URL's are. IMINT.COM has
various mechanisms for optimising file size and breaking up the
full menu into smaller pieces.
