Indices
-
Powerful index format allowing
multiple command execution and tag graphics.
- Standard format for all our applets allowing 100%
portability of indices.
-
Dual-loading: may be read from external files, parameters, or both.
- High index capacity - tested with single index files up to 100,000 entries.
-
Unlimited index size using index hyperlinks (drills) to manage
multiple part indices.
-
Index editor facility with drag-and-drop functionality and
wizards for creating efficient multiple index systems in seconds.
- 10 submenu levels (more can be customised on request).
- ZIP compression of indices can reduce indices in external files by about 85% in size.
Images
- Background images: tiled to fit if necessary - just
like HTML backgrounds.
- Specify different background images for the top level and
submenu systems.
- Use the text graphic option to substitute top level menu items
with mouse-sensitive dual-state images.
-
Tag-images: menu entries may be suffixed with small
images of your choice - typically used to indicate "new",
"cool", "updated" and similar notices. (Tag images only
appear when the menu is left-aligned).
Performance
- JDK 1.1 compatible - requires version 4+ browsers.
- Comes with optional signed CAB file for removal
of browser warning messages attached to
bottom of MSIE submenus.
- Comes with optional signed JAR file for removal
of browser warning messages attached to
bottom of N6 submenus.
- Windows compatible.
- Unix/Linux compatible.
- Mac compatible - but with modified behaviour and
lower performance, particularly on Netscape for Macintosh.
-
Online demonstrations include examples with indices
approaching 3,000 items, and yet load and perform at high
speed; much larger indices should be possible with no
performance loss.
-
Can optionally be implemented without any external
graphics to speed up performance and loading time; likewise
indices may optionally be loaded from parameters with similar effect.
-
Advanced safety management: JVM error detection with
lifeboat page safeguards your site reputation.
Tools and Templates
-
Applet designer application turns applet implementation
into a game. Click and point to design the applet interface and contents.
-
Site indexing application creates the indices which the menu applets
visualise. Application includes numerous wizard operations and
drag-and-drop editting.
-
Around 40 preset designs are included with the downloadable trials.
These can be used as templates to help you create your own menu design.
Other features
-
Multiple cursor types: "hand" and "wait" cursors
appear at appropriate times (not Mac).
