| Hybrid drop-down menu / image-map menus Parameter index
The advantage of loading an index from parameters is that the
applet starts faster (but your page loads slower). The pros
and cons of external indices and parameter indices are complex,
and some people prefer one or the other. With the Express and Pro
versions of this applet, you have the choice.
The parameter index loading uses a special parameter
called "entry". This parameter can be used up to about 100
times, each time with an integer tagged onto its name. So
you can start at "entry0" for the first entry, "entry1" for the
second entry, and so on.
<PARAM NAME="entry0" VALUE="....">
<PARAM NAME="entry1" VALUE="....">
<PARAM NAME="entry2" VALUE="....">
<PARAM NAME="entry3" VALUE="....">
<PARAM NAME="entry4" VALUE="....">
<PARAM NAME="entry5" VALUE="....">
Remember to start at entry0 (zero-based!) and leave no gaps in
the numbers.
The format of the entry parameter's
value is much the same as the format of a single line in the
index file (described earlier), with one difference: instead
of separating the individual elements with inverted commas, they
must be separated with the vertical line symbol |.
Thus:
"TEXT:my entry" "1" "" "LINK:myPage.html,myFrame" "description of my page"
becomes:
<PARAM NAME="entry_"
VALUE="TEXT:my_entry|1|0|LINK:myPage.html,myFrame|description of my page">
NB: if you forget to add a dummy stylesheet marker and leave the
stylesheet entry (3rd entry) blank, your links will stop working.
Enter 0 as the stylesheet marker unless you are deliberately referencing to
another style.
