Welcome ItemStyle() startMenu() addItem()

What is this?

This is a script designed to ease the creation of DHTML popup menus via my "Cascading Popup Menus v5.2" JavaScript engine. It is not required to create menus, but can assist with the somewhat complicated syntax if you are not overly familiar with JavaScript. You still need to read the comments and especially the "Conditions of Use" in the menu script, so you know where the various commands go.

How does it work?

Simply click on the appropriate tab above to create the syntax for a JavaScript command. Paste the result into the menu script once you are happy with the options you've set. You can point at any underlined text for a popup tooltip if you want to find out what an option means.

Donation-Ware:

If you find this useful, that's great. I make all my code freely downloadable, rather than force people to purchase it. However, if you want to give something back in return, please consider making a donation via my homepage to support the development of this and other scripts.

Good luck - Angus.
