Features of Sothink DHTMLMenu
Sothink DHTMLMenu generates
robust cross-browser code compatible with almost all
available web browsers. The menu can automatically detect
the visitors' browser type and load the best script
code, so the designers can be free of taking care of
the browser compatibility problems. The supported browsers
include Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla, Opera,
Firefox, Camina and Safari. The code has been fully
tested on Windows, Mac and Unix/Linux.
Auto highlight items to
indicate where the user is on the web site
 Sothink
DHTMLMenu can automatically highlight
the menu item, linking to the current page in
browsers without writing any extra code. In this
example, the Home item is highlighted as the homepage
of the site (http://www.sothink.com/index.htm)
is being visiting.

Auto scroll long popup
menus
 Popup
menu has too many items to display? Sothink
DHTMLMenu can automatically scroll long
popup menus. Both horizontal and vertical popup
menus are supported. The scroll arrow can be fully
customized to fit the menu style.
|
Integrate with Dreamweaver
 Sothink
DHTMLMenu can be used with Dreamweaver
as an extension. After the extension is installed,
the Sothink Menu will be added to Dreamweaver's
menubar as illustrated in the picture.
With a few clicks, you can accurately
add a menu to your desired position in the design
mode. You can also edit the menu later easily
without starting from scratch.
Library and Template are fully
supported, so you can edit a menu and update all
the relevant pages automatically. |
Integrate with FrontPage
 Sothink
DHTMLMenu can be used within FrontPage
as an Add-in. Once you install the program, the
Sothink Widget Toolbar will appear in FrontPage
as shown in the picture.
In the design mode, FrontPage
users can accurately insert a menu to the desired
position and edit it easily at any moment without
leaving the design mode.
Shared Border, Include File and
Dynamic Web Template are fully supported, so you
can edit a menu and let FrontPage update all the
relevant pages for you automatically. |
Edit multiple items at
one time
 You
can select multiple items in the Menu Tree as
illustrated in the picture, and edit them in the
property window at one time. You no longer need
to select and edit the items one by one. You can
also drag and drop multiple items to anywhere
in the Menu Tree so as to re-construct the menu.
|
Create database-driven
menu
 Item
conditions feature makes creating dynamic database-driven
menus easy. Item text, links, tips and other properties
can be dynamically generated from a database by
using ASP, PHP, Cold Fusion or other server side
code. All you need to do is input variables in
the corresponding fields, and write some conditions
(if-else, while, for, etc.) in Item Conditions
window instead of manually coding every line of
the menu directly on the page. Furthermore, it
is not necessary to re-write those conditions
when you decide to modify the menu style as those
conditions have already been saved in the menu
configuration file.
|
Cross-frame menu
 Cross-Frame
Wizard guides you to easily generate cross-frame
menus for framed web sites, including common Frame,
Nested Frame and Iframe. Additionally, more than
one menu can be added to a framed web site, which
functions perfectly without any problems.
|
Intelligently change the
template
 Apart
from creating a menu from templates, Sothink
DHTMLMenu has the ability to change the
template for an existing menu. Styles defined
in the new template can be inherited intelligently.
You can even selectively apply only the desired
styles (for example, only font styles) and just
ignore the others.
There are over 80 well-designed
templates available currently and more are coming
soon. |
Other Features:
Work with Flash & Form objects
Sothink DHTMLMenu can auto hide those window elements,
such as Flash, Form, Iframe, and etc.
HTML support
You can create various menus with special style by directly
inputting HTML/JavaScript code, such as table, form,
image and etc. For example, you can use HTML/JavaScript
to create a menu with multiple columns.
Site Navigation Generator
Sothink DHTMLMenu includes a Site Navigation
Generator, which enables you to generate a navigation
menu for your site by automatically analyzing the page
of an existing web site, generally the index page. The
Generator wizard will scan all links on the page and
scan the files it linked, and generate a menu based
on the relationship and structure of these links.
