We're putting the finishing touches on HierMenus version 6 now. Among the highlights: Menu and item specific parameter settings, new styling options (including support for menu and item class names), and support for Internet Explorer filters and transitions.

Synchronized Link Rollovers
Though often not realized, it is possible in HierMenus to synchronize an image-based link's rollover action to the display and hiding of its designated menu. This quick tutorial shows you how.

When TLC Isn't Enough
Need to position your HierMenus based on something other than the Top-Left Corner? With only a few lines of custom code, you can position a menu based on its top, bottom, left, or right corner.

The much-heralded and long-awaited Version 4 of the Hierarchical Menu Script is finally here. Well, almost. In the first of a series of articles, we look at the new Version 4 menu-creating arrays. No prior knowledge of the script is necessary as we begin a complete discussion of a major version. Hopefully, it's been worth the wait!

[34] Speeding Up Frame Rates For DHTML Animation in Win98  IE4+ NN4
a.k.a. Everything you always wanted to know about setTimeout() and setInterval() but were afraid to test.
More on DHTML Animations and trying to overcome timer and inherent OS clock problems. This time guest writer Mark Szlazak provides us with extensive test results, and several ingenious workarounds.

[33] Array Power, Part III  IE4+ NN4 
The final installment of our three-part series. We take a detailed look at the most powerful and complex array method available in the Navigator JavaScript core language and the ECMAScript Version 3 specification but missing from Internet Explorer: splice(). This versatile method is a must for Web Applications, and to facilitate its use, along with all the other prototyped methods, we create a use-everywhere external JS file, arrayprototype.js, that includes all the code we have created in this series.

[32] Array Power, Part II  IE4+ NN4 
In the second of our three-part series, we look at two more methods available in the Navigator JavaScript core language and the ECMAScript Version 3 specification but missing from Internet Explorer: push() and pop(). We make them available for Explorer using the Array.prototype object, but also standardize the behavior of push() across all Navigator versions, given that JavaScript 1.2 and JavaScript 1.3 define the method in different ways.

[31] Array Power, Part I  IE4+ NN4 
The Navigator JavaScript core language and the ECMAScript Version 3 specification contain several, powerful methods for the Array object not found in Explorer's JScript engine. These methods are essential in the creation of Web Applications and so far have been little used given the lack of cross-browser support. In the first of a three-parter, we create new array methods for Explorer using the Array.prototype object, allowing authors to finally use them in cross-browser applications.

[30] Identifying Installed Fonts  IE4+ NN4 
Be kind to your server, load pages faster for the user and give your Web applications a sleeker, more professional look. Use dingbat fonts already installed on user systems in place of downloaded images. In this tutorial, we use cross-browser and cross-platform DHTML to identify installed fonts, with a single function. Your users will thank you.

[29] DHTML Application Toolbars  IE4+ 
More on building interfaces for web applications.
Using techniques discussed in previous columns, we build application-like toolbars for Internet Explorer. Both text-only and more complex text and image toolbars complete with keyboard access are discussed.

[28] Smooth animation using DHTML  NN4 IE4+
Do your DHTML animations look different on different browsers and platforms? Have you ever wanted to sit down and create benchmark tests and run them on many different browser-system configurations?
Well, don't! Morten Wang has done it for us.
DHTML Lab welcomes its first guest writer in the first of a series of articles devoted to comprehensive DHTML animation tests.

[27] Dynamic Headline Fader, Version 3.0  NN4 IE4+
The Fader keeps coming back. New features include no-fade (flip) and multiple headline display options.
The many other modifications in this version make it compatible with more browser versions than you can fade/flip a stick at, with special attention to old-but-still-used browsers like IEmac 4.0 and Navigator 4.0 - 4.03.

[26] IE4 / IE5 Rendering Differences  IE4+

[24] Accessing the User-Defined System Colors, Part I  IE4+ 
Introducing a new thread at DHTML Lab: Creating Web Applications.
The first step in the programmatic creation of web pages, that look and act like OS applications, is the correct use of the user-defined system colors. We'll look at how each of these colors is set by the user, what effect they have on browser rendering, and how they are reflected into Explorer DHTML. Then we'll create draggable OS-like popup dialogs, complete with active and inactive colored titlebars, that adapt to any color scheme the user has chosen.

[23] Scrollbars for Navigator 4 Positioned Elements (LAYERs), Part I  NN4

Add vertical OS-type scrollbars to your Navigator 4 positioned elements. Learn to script all scrollbar events in the first of two columns devoted to giving your scroll controls a professional look and feel.

[19] Cross-Browser Visibility Transitions   NN4 IE4+
Hide or show your positioned elements with flair. Using the Explorer 4 Reveal Transition Filters and Navigator 4 clipping, we create a cross-browser transition library. Cinematic effects like wipe, box-in and split-screen transitions can be applied to any positioned element with a simple function call to a re-usable external JavaScript file.

[18] Hierarchical Menus in Frames   NN4 IE4+  

[17] Dynamic Synchronized Frames  NN4 IE4+
Frames as static navigational tools are dying. Add new life to the frameset concept with dynamic synchronized frames. Parallel frames scroll in tandem, allowing for the publication of large spreadsheets with row and column headers kept aligned at all times. Track longitude on maps without the use of atomic clocks. Keep your table headers on-screen. Any large columnar page can now make it to the Web intact, so paste those pieces back together, and learn to love frames all over again.

[16] Dynamic Page Segments  NN4 IE4+
Minimize page scrolling, do away with redundant framesets and organize your already existing pages into popup page segments. This fully cross-browser and backward-compatible technique can give your existing page a new look in minutes, or allow you to organize your lists into popup filecards.

[15] Cross-Browser Hierarchical Menus  NN4 IE4+  

[14] Hierarchical Menus, Part I - Concepts/NN4  NN4  

[13] Dynamic Headline Fader  NN4 IE4+
Use transitions to display live, linked, fading headlines in the same page space. This technique includes our first look at transition filters, to be included in CSS2. Our cut-and-paste code grabs current headlines from a simple updatable, text file, and creates a customizable fader anywhere in your page flow for both DHTML browsers, with alternate content for older browsers.

[12] Expandable/Collapsable Outlines  NN4 IE4+
Maximize the use of precious page real estate with on-demand expandable outlines. Our cross-browser technique allows outlines anywhere in your page flow, without the use of frames or dedicated pages. Learn how the two browsers handle the CSS display property, and how to use the powerful Explorer tags() and item() methods.
Experience expandable/collapsable outlines on our links page.

[11] DHTML Lab Jigsaw Puzzle, Part IV - Cross-Browser  NN4 IE4+
Jigsaw puzzle mania continues with a streamlined, full-featured cross-browser version.

[10] DHTML Lab Jigsaw Puzzle, Part III - NN4  NN4
Our popular single-image, low-bandwidth, jigsaw puzzle, adapted in its entirety for Navigator 4. Using a new set of images, we discuss the complete code necessary for creating, breaking, solving and customizing the puzzle.

[09] DHTML Lab Jigsaw Puzzle, Part II - IE4+ (cont'd)  IE4+
Continuing our series on puzzles, we complete our creation of a low-bandwidth, customizable jigsaw puzzle for Explorer 4. We discuss solving, both manual and automatic, adding a control panel and changing puzzle images and piece dimensions on-the-fly.

[08] DHTML Lab Jigsaw Puzzle, Part I - Concepts/IE4+  IE4+
Just for fun, a fully customizable low-bandwidth jigsaw puzzle. Any image, local or on the web can be loaded into the puzzle template and split into a user-defined number of pieces. Using positioned elements, clipping, and drag & drop, the DHTML Lab Jigsaw Puzzle demonstrates the steps necessary in the creation of dynamic applications. We start with an Explorer 4 version.

[07] Drag & Drop, Part II - Explorer 4/Cross-browser  NN4 IE4+
Concluding our two-part series on drag and drop, we look at dragging in Explorer 4. Combined with the Navigator script from Part I, we create a cross-browser version. Using this technique, you can add drag & drop capabilities to any page with a universally-accessible external file.

[06] Drag & Drop, Part I - Concepts/Navigator 4  NN4
In the first of a two-part series, we examine the concept of dragging a CSS-positioned element on your page. A technique useful in such diverse applications as games, education and e-commerce, drag & drop is discussed in the context of the two browsers separately. This column, we look at creating drag code for Navigator 4.

[05] Dynamic Content in Internet Explorer 4+  NN4 IE4+
IE4 introduces four new object properties and two new methods for dynamically updating an already-displayed page. Any element's contained HTML can be retrieved, modified, or deleted. Our live in-page examples demonstrate all three of these options. We conclude with a script for a dynamic client-side Q&A quiz.

[04] Database Front End  NN4 IE4+
Using JavaScript multi-dimensional arrays, CSS-positioned updatable elements and image swapping, we build a simple front end for a client-side database. An example of combining techniques to create a new dynamic application.

[03] Dynamic Images  NN4 IE4+
Tired of supplying thumbnail images to your readers to avoid long pages or server connections? With DHTML, your images can zoom out in-page. We build a cross-browser backward-compatible application for creating zoomable images that can be appended to all existing documents with just one line! The step-by-step coding will also allow you to experience first-hand the procedures used in creatingcross-browser/cross-version dynamic pages.

[02] Low Bandwidth Rollovers  NN4 IE4+
With Dynamic HTML we no longer have to rely on single image swapping for menu rollover effects. Combining Cascading Style Sheet positioning and clipping with JavaScript scripting we can load multiple frames in one image and selectively display any frame. Learn to create lightweight dynamic menus, with techniques that can be applied to sophisticated graphic animations.

[01] New JavaScript Event Handlers  NN4 IE4+
Introduce yourself to new, dynamic events. This column, we discuss how to use the new onMouseDown and onMouseUp event handlers to create custom dynamic link buttons with a Rollover-Click effect.
