What's New at CodeThatMenu v2.0?

Here you can find new features that were added at new CodeThatMenu version.

New Type "dropdown" Makes Codethatmenu Simlier for Novices.

You can create classic menu without constant settings for properties direction and anchor/anchor_side. It might be quite useful for novices and for STD version users. This property you can use either for STD or PRO version.

Use the structure like this:

var MenuDef = {
	type : 'dropdown',
	style : {
		...
	},
	...
}; 

You don't need to set direction and anchor/anchor_side properties.

First level automatically will be horizontal, the others will be vertical.

Direction for submenus will be from left to right.

Of course you can set direction and anchor/anchor_side properties to change its default values. Keep in mind that type 'dropdown' just sets default values for these properties.

Items' Shadows Can Be Transparent (msie 5.5+).

It means you can set transparent shadows for an item or for menu/submenu. And this item may be non-transparent or has its own transparency.

For example, you can set opacity property in 80 for menu and in 50 for the shadow.

Use the structure like this:

style :
{
	shadow :
	{
		color : '#334455',
		width : 2,
		opacity : 50
	},
	...
}

You Can Set Various Styles for Items' Borders.

You can set various styles just for items' borders (not for the whole menu).

You can use any style from CSS - solid, dashed, dotted, inset, outset etc.

Use the structure like this:

style :
{
	border :
	{
		color : '#334455',
		width : 1,
		style : 'dashed'
	},
	...
}

Default value for border style - solid.

For NN4 you can't change this value.
