| Sliding menu: iSlide Pro-X Tree Type I
Features
Red items denote
Pro-X features added in v.7.
Multi-function click operations
- Full standard hyperlink functionality with frame-targetting,
anchors, absolute and relative addressing to anywhere
on the net.
-
Multi-command functionality. Unlimited numbers of links
targeted into different frames may be triggered by a single
click.
-
A single click can trigger a combination
of link, audio and user-defined javascript/DHTML functions.
-
Remote controls: exposed methods allow various changes
to be made to the applet from outside
-
Page-sensitive menus without applet reloading. New indices
can be loaded into the applet simultaneously with each page
change in the other frame(s).
-
START command for triggering processes after applet loading
-
DRILL command for runtime loading of new indices
- ONCLOSE and ONOPEN commands for triggering user-defined scripts
when folders open or close (not Mac)
- TIMER command for timed event sequences
- Multiple DHTML event triggering - mouseOver,
doubleClick, rightClick events.
- APPLET command allows direct triggering
of events in your own applets.
Performance
- JDK 1.1 compatible - i.e. should run on all version 4+
browsers.
-
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.
- Interactive online error handling during development.
- Auto-disposal: to maintain a clean interface, unneeded
folders are automatically closed either (a) whenever a new
folder is opened, or (b) whenever a user-defined number
of visible entries is overstepped.
Text appearance
-
Stylesheets for menu entry formatting with 15 commands
per style - commands include many colour options, font, size,
style, positioning, offsets, hanging indents, etc.
-
Stylesheets may specify up to 127 styles, allowing fast group
or individual formatting of menu entries; set the styles fast using
the development environment's instantly updating WYSIWYG display.
- Separately definable colours for active, visited and highlighted
states - and each style in the stylesheet may have its own set
of colours for these purposes.
- Line-wrapping of long menu entries. Up to
20 lines per entry.
- Multi-icon entries: assign up to 127 different icons or buttons to entries
using the stylesheets - that's 127 for any particular implementation.
-
State-sensitive icons: icons may have different states reflecting
link history, mouse-activity, etc.
- Mouse-over causes a context-sensitive message display in
the browser status window.
- Text-graphics: text may be replaced in the menu with
small text-graphics allowing use of any fonts and styles you
wish.
- Background rectangle marks mouse-over state - fitted
to match line-wrapped text.
-
Text shadows: enhanced shadow or embossed effects with
crisp thin shadows or blur-edged shadows.
- Extended characters available (e.g. accented letters).

Indices
-
Powerful index format allowing
multiple command execution and tag graphics.
- Standard format for all our applets allowing 100%
portability of indices.
- Can read ZIP compressed index files
-
Dual-loading: may be read from external files, parameters, or both.
- DRILL command for runtime index switching
- ADD command for runtime insertion of temporary index segments
- INSERT command for runtime insertion of permanent index segments
- Up to 50 submenu levels.
Folder action
- Enhanced processor-speed-independent sliding action
- Optional animated bounce for lively look-and-feel
- Folders can open with just a mouse movement (no click)
- Folders can open on single or double click
- Folders can open when the +/- box is clicked
- Folders above a user-defined level can optionally
be locked open
- Folders above a user-defined level can optionally
be excluded from auto-close operations
Images
- Background images: tiled to fit if necessary - just
like HTML backgrounds.
-
Border images: also automatically tiled to fit if
necessary. These wrap themselves around the menu with
independently definable widths at top, bottom, left and
right. Ideal for putting a drop shadow, patterned or
bevelled border around your menu. A variety of sample borders
(currently 28) are supplied in a resource library.
- Tree icons have history tracking to match the colour
scheme of the text: 4 states - normal, focus, active, visited.
-
Tag-images: menu entries may be suffixed with small
images of your choice - typically used to indicate "new",
"cool", "updated" and similar notices.
-
State-sensitive text graphics and tag images: text graphics and tag images can change according
to mouse-activity and link-history.
-
Tree structure images: icons for creating the framework
of a tree structure are user-definable, allowing creative
and original menu designs.
- Scroll images: see under scrolls.
- Resource library with icons, scrolls, borders
and other specially designed images is available with the
applets.
Audio
- A global "move" sound may be defined - whenever the
mouse moves to a new entry, the sound is played.
- A global "click" sound may be defined - whenever an
item is clicked, the sound is played.
- Individual click sounds may be defined - any entry
can play its own individual sound at the same time as
performing any other functions (such as loading a page).
Scrolling
-
User-definable scrollbars can be easily implemented
from a resource library of 30+ designs; or create your
own design with an image editor using our unique and
convenient format.
- Scrollbars may be placed left or right.
- Scrollbar appearance can be optional (as needed) or
fixed.
-
If no user-defined scrollbar is entered, the applet can
optionally generate internal scrolls for you; the design of
these varies with menu type.
- Enhanced scrollbar action - scrolling continues even
if mouse accidentally moves off the scrollbar while dragging
the slider.
General
- Tool tips - optional delayed-action pop-up information
boxes over individual tree entries.
- Hand and wait cursors - appear at appropriate times
- onLoad parameter can trigger your own user-defined script when the
applet has completed loading (not on Mac).
- Define your own text message while the applet is loading.
