Hiermenus Go Forth, XVI - DHTML Lab

Hiermenus Go Forth^*, XVI:
Version 4.0.9 - The Complete Script (Full-Window)

With Version 4.0.9, we move into the final stretch by beginning to address the parameter-as-JavaScript-expression feature of Version 4 that has not worked as documented in all cases. In this version we concentrate on menu positioning.

As always, there is no documentation other than that already presented in previous columns.
However, all the parameters used in the script are described in detail.
Just about everything you need to know about using the script has been published in Columns 36 to 42. Additional minor information has been included in the release columns (43 to 51), usually pertaining to a adjustment introduced in the particular release.

1. Column 35 - Hiermenus Go Forth, I: The External Arrays
2. Column 36 - Hiermenus Go Forth, II: The External Arrays - New Menu Tree Parameters
3. Column 38 - Hiermenus Go Forth, III: The External Arrays - Menu and Item Parameters

But before you click the above link, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING POINTS:

1. We cannot provide additional instructions at this time. They will be forthcoming, along with detailed discussion of the code once Version 4 is rock-stable.

2. The menu look and behavior in the download is only one of many possible look-behavior combinations. The parameters discussed in columns 36 --> 42 achieve menu customization. Please familiarize yourself with these.

3. Several Version 4-related questions have been anticipated in a previous column.

4. Most of the Version 3-related FAQ apply to Version 4. Please check these for a possible answer to your problem.

   Most of the mail still revolves around questions answered in the FAQ, especially FAQ#1 and FAQ#6.

5. With the volume of mail regarding HM, a reply will probably not be possible. All problems reported, however, will be considered.

Now on to the 4.0.9 improvements.
