Hiermenus Go Forth, XXVI - DHTML Lab

Hiermenus Go Forth^*, XXVI:
Version 4.2 - The Complete Script (Full-Window)

After a hiatus of a couple of months, allowing us time to take a holiday and attend to a few chores, the HM are back with a new major version, 4.2.

This release includes a new feature for all browsers, except IE4 for Windows and IE5 for Macintosh: the ability to scroll through menu items in menus that are higher than the user's browser window.

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 61), usually pertaining to an adjustment introduced in the particular release.

Please report any problems you find, by sending mail to this address replacing <-DELETE-> with @:

hiermenu<-DELETE->internet.com

But before you do, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING POINTS:

1. Most of the mail still revolves around questions answered in the FAQ: HM FAQ. Please check these for a possible answer to your problem.

2. 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.

3. 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.

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

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

So, what exactly do we mean by "scrollable" menus??
