// Syntaxes and Information: *** START EDITING HERE, READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY! ***
//
// To customise use this script, there are 3 functions you need to use. Firstly, you create
// ItemStyles, which are a collection of dimensions, colours, and stylesheet class names used
// to control the appearance of menu items. The (somewhat lengthy) syntax is:
//
// styleName = new ItemStyle(length of items, spacing to next item, 'popout indicator HTML',
//  popout indicator position, padding of text within item, 'out background colour or image
//  filename', 'over background colour or image', 'out text stylesheet class', 'over text class',
//  'out border stylesheet class', 'over border class', out transparency percentage or null,
//  over transparency percentage or null);
//
// One thing that needs explaining is the popout indicator position -- you pass a positive
// integer to position it from the left of the item, and a negative integer to position it from
// the right edge of the item -- see the example code below if that doesn't make much sense.
// Pass an empty string '' as the over or out background to make it transparent.
// ItemStyles are simply JavaScript objects (like 'window' and 'document'), and you can access
// or change any property with JavaScript e.g. hBar.outClass = 'anotherTextClass'. See the
// construction function halfway through the menu code above for property names if you want to
// get tricky with these -- or just use them normally like so:


// 'horizontal Bar' style: items are 105px long, 0px between, no popout indicator or popout
// indicator position, 0px padding within items, a transparent background '', a hover colour
// of #669999, 'itemText' is the class used for the menu text both normally and highlighted,
// and no border classes. The last two nulls turn off alpha filtering/transparency, set them to
// numbers between 0 and 100 to enable. See the '<style>' section below for the classes used...
var hBar = new ItemStyle(105, 0, '', 0, 0, '', '#669999', 'itemText', 'itemText', '', '',
 null, null);

// The 'sub Menu' items: 22px long, 0px spacing, a 'greater than' sign for a popout indicator
// (you may wish to use an image tag?), the popout indicator is positioned 15px from the right
// edge of the item, items have 3px padding, some colours, it uses 'itemText' as the dimmed text
// class but 'itemHover' when it is moused over, and 'itemBorder' as the border stylesheet class.
var subM = new ItemStyle(22, 0, '&gt;', -15, 3, '#2E6373', '#50979C', 'itemText', 'itemHover',
 'itemBorder', 'itemBorder', null, null);

// The purplish 'crazy' style, same length 0px spacing and
// different colours/text and less padding. They also have alpha filters set -- these items
// are 80% opaque when out and 90% when over.
var crazy = new ItemStyle(22, 0, '&gt;', -15, 2, '#50979C', '#2E6373', 'crazyText', 'crazyHover',
 'crazyBorder', 'crazyBorderOver', null, null);




// The main menu section begins with the creation of a 'new PopupMenu(...)' object, which
// includes the main creation and update functions -- this example just has one object created.
// The first menu for each menu object you create must always be named 'root', by the way,
// so it's always visible. Next, we use its startMenu() function to create the individual
// menus used by the script.
//    Menus are then added with the orientation, position, dimension, and default ItemStyle
// to use passed to them. If you specify them as numbers, the Left and Top positions are
// measured from the upper-left corner of the trigger item used to pop it out on the fly.
// Otherwise, if you specify them as strings (which may include formulae), they are measured
// the top-left corner of the page. The first, 'root' menu is always positioned from the page.
//
// startMenu('menu name', Vertical menu? (true/false), left, top, width, default ItemStyle,
//  optional parent frame/window or layer in which this menu resides);
//
// Something that needs explaining - the Vertical Menu setup, which is a 'true' or 'false' without
// quotes passed as the second parameter to startMenu(). Pass 'true' is you want that menu to
// be vertical, or 'false' to have a horizontal bar (like the root menu below).
//    The 'width' depends on the orientation of the menu -- for vertical menus it's the width,
// for horizontal menus it is the height. Basically, it's the dimension constant for all the items.
//    The parent window or layer parameter is optional, if not specified the current window is
// used -- this example does not use frames. See the FRAMESET README below if you're using them.
//
//
// Finally, items themselves are passed 3 compulsory parameters -- the text to display in the
// item, the action or URL the item has when clicked, and the type of the action/target frame.
// All other parameters are optional -- you can override the menu's default ItemStyle with the
// item's own, and optionally override that was well by specifying a list of parameters in the
// same order as an ItemStyle.
//
// addItem('Text', 'URL', 'action type', optional ItemStyle, length, spacing, 'popout indicator',
//  popout indicator position....... in the same order as ItemStyles, see above);
//
// The 'action type' needs explaining. This tells the script what to do with the URL. You
// leave this a blank string '' to open the URL in the current window -- the default action.
// Or, you can set this to 'js:' to specify that the URL is a JavaScript function that gets
// executed when the item is clicked. Thirdly, you can pass a string containing a valid
// reference to a window/frame from the window/frameset in which this script is located,
// e.g. 'top.leftFrame' or 'parent.popupWin', to make the URL load in there when clicked --
// think of 'parent.main' as similar to <a target="main">.
//    Most importantly, you pass 'sm:' to specify that the URL is the name of a submenu to pop
// out when moused over. See the example below if this seems complicated, it's quite easy once
// you get the hang of it. Thanks to Martin J. Cole for originally suggesting the syntax!
//
// If you want more information, there's a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section on my
// site: http://www.twinhelix.com, on the 'Popup Menus' page.



// A PopupMenu() object must be passed its own name so it can reference itself when the menu
// is active. We also use a 'with' block to work with its properties and functions below.
var pMenu = new PopupMenu('pMenu');
with (pMenu)
{

// *** MOVE OR CENTRE THE MENU HERE ***
// To centre it, or scroll with the window etc, just include a global variable or formula as one
// of the positions. This script includes my page object, which has several useful methods, namely
// 'page.winW()', 'page.winH()', 'page.scrollY()' and 'page.scrollX()'. These return the current
// dimensions of the visible window area and the scroll position of the window, which can be
// used to position menus however you want. Try replacing the first startMenu() below with one of:
//startMenu('root', false, 'page.winW()/2 - 120', 'page.scrollY()', 17, hBar); // Centres & floats.
//startMenu('root', false, 10, 0, 17, hBar, 'frameName'); // To create in subframe.

// The 'root' menu is horizontal, positioned at (x = 50, y = 60) and is 17px high, and items
// by default use the colours and dimensions in the 'hBar' ItemStyle defined above.
startMenu('root', false, 50, 60, 15, hBar);

// The text is a space then 'File', and this item pops out the 'mFile' submenu when moused over
// as we've set 'sm:' as the action type. If you want to assign a click action (i.e. navigating to
// a file) to one of these 'sm:' items, see the 'Optional Code' section below.

// FRAMESET USERS ONLY: (Non-frameset users can delete this block of comments if you want):
// (Frameset users -- you might want to download the prebuilt frames example from the Popup
// FAQ on my site, or just follow these instructions to see how it works).
//
// This menu supports frames with a few extensions. Firstly, embed this script
// in the frameset file, that is replace the <body> below with a <frameset>. Then transfer the
// <style> section into every file in which the menus will appear -- include a CSS file?
//    Next, uncomment and include this next small script into each file in which the menus will
// appear (using a JS file would be best) -- it manages clicking and scrolling etc:
//
//var scrWin = parent, pMenu = scrWin.pMenu, isIE = scrWin.isIE, isNS4 = scrWin.isNS4;
//
//var page = new Object();
//for (var f in scrWin.page) page[f] = scrWin.page[f];
//page.win = window;
//
//if (isNS4) document.captureEvents(Event.CLICK);
//document.onclick = new Function('evt', 'pMenu.click(); ' +
// 'if (isNS4) return document.routeEvent(evt)');
//
//if (!isIE)
//{
// var nsScrollX=page.scrollX(), nsScrollY=page.scrollY();
// window.onload = new Function('document.readyState = "complete"; ' +
// 'setInterval("if (nsScrollY!=pageYOffset || nsScrollX!=pageYOffset) ' +
// '{ nsScrollX=pageXOffset; nsScrollY=pageYOffset; window.onscroll() } ", 50);');
//}
//
//window.onunload = new Function('pMenu.clearLyr("'+window.name+'")');
//window.onscroll = new Function('pMenu.position("'+window.name+'")');
//
// It's a little convoluted, all you have to do is make sure that in the first line pMenu points to
// the correct pMenu -- that is, located within that frame's parent (this script). If you're using
// multiple menu objects across frames, set them up there to. If you're nesting one frameset within
// another, panic, then alter 'parent' to 'top' or similar.
//
// You will want to use this to make the menus in sub-frames scroll with their windows.
// It copies this script's page object, which allows the frames' properties to be detected.
// All you have to do is use the page object in that frame in a formula for the positions
// of a menu, e.g. for a menu in a frame named 'xyz', we would set it to appear in
// that frame and appear near the top and 100px from the left:
//
// startMenu('menuName', false, 'xyz.page.scrollX()+100', 'xyz.page.scrollY()+10', 17, hBar, 'xyz');
//
// Of course, third-level menus in other frames can be positioned relative to their parents
// normally. (Remember: strings as positions means 'absolute', numbers mean 'relative'.
//    Finally, you'll want to specify target frames for each item, in the same fashion as
// you specified them for the menus themselves -- by default URLs will open in the window in
// which the script is located, the topmost frameset.






// Finally, we handle some global events, calling the proper functions for each menu (or
// other script, e.g. my DHTML Scroller) that needs to be notified of these events.
// Syntax: object.onevent = new Function('function1(); function2(); function3()....');
// That's similar to: <BODY ONEVENT="function1(); function2(); function3()...">

// Make sure there is no <BODY ONLOAD="..."> tag in the document, it overrides these!
// Back up the onload event in case other scripts use it. You may wish to use the same
// technique to back up some of the other events captured here.
var popOldOL = window.onload;

// One note: We call pMenu.update() on load to create the menus. Optionally, you can use the
// "Fast Create" feature -- pass it the name of one menu, e.g. pMenu.update("root") to create
// only the root menu on load and the rest as needed. This is good for very large menus,
// use if you want to speed up the script's load time a little.
window.onload = new Function('if (popOldOL) popOldOL(); pMenu.update()');
window.onresize = new Function('ns4BugCheck(); pMenu.position()');
window.onscroll = new Function('pMenu.position()');

if (isNS4) document.captureEvents(Event.CLICK);
// Likewise add in any other menu objects created into the click handler...
document.onclick = new Function('evt', 'pMenu.click(); ' +
 'if (isNS4) return document.routeEvent(evt)');



// A small function that refreshes NS4 on horizontal resize, called above.
