Alien Whiteline Pop-out Menu (Enterprise version)
 

 
What can this menu do for you?   [Show detailed feature listing]
This is a pop-out site navigation menu suitable for sidebar navigation layout with the menu positioned down the left of the page.
Submenus. The menus have cascading submenus, which can pop up over anything on your page - e.g. frame edges, HTML content, flash movies, etc - but are easily removed again afterwards - just like a submenu for normal computer applications. Click here to find out more about submenus.
Pop-out action. Pop-out menus don't drop-down from the top of the page - they pop out sideways from a menu down the left of the page.
Whiteline theme. The Whiteline design is one of the most popular generic menu styles. Menu items have a simple white border separating them into distinct items. Each menu item has a background colour of your choice. Different menu types are categorised into themes, so you can obtain a variety of matching menus. Click here to see all the menus which match this theme.
States and colours. The buttons or menu-items each have three states and you can change the colours of these states. Click here to find out more about states and colours.
Fonts and text formatting. The menu supports true-type fonts and you can format text colour, size, weight and alignment. The professional and enterprise versions additionally offer text shadows, italics and underline options. Click here to find out more about fonts and text formatting.
Layout and line-wrapping. This menu features automated text layout and line-wrapping. Submenus are sized according to both content and aesthetic criteria. Click here to find out more about layout and line-wrapping.
Icons. Dual-state user-defined icons are supported. Click here to find out more about icons.
Stylesheet formatting. This menu supports multiple styles - much like cascading stylesheets (CSS), a stylesheet can be created with pre-defined styles. Click here to find out more about stylesheet formatting.
Scrolling submenus. Submenu content can be scrolled if its size exceeds certain pre-defined reasonable proportions. Carousel scrolling is used for user-friendliness. Click here to find out more about scrolling submenus.
Hyperlinks. Every menu item can have hyperlinks attached. Click here to find out more about hyperlinks.
Script triggers. If you like writing your own javascripts, you will be happy to find that this applet can directly trigger your scripts. Click here to find out more about scripts.
Separators. Insert specially styled separators wherever you like. Separator appearance is dependent on the menu theme and some have dramatic visual effects to enhance the menu interface. There is no separator for this theme - separators in the index file will be ignored.
Index capacity. The Enterprise version of this menu is designed to support many thousands of menu items as standard, and to be able to extend this through efficient dynamic interaction with the server to an indefinite (unlimited) number. We will also advise on scalability strategies. If you encounter scalability problems, please contact us for advice, as scalability is one of our speciality areas which makes our products outstanding.
Dynamic indices. To accommodate dynamic sites, this menu is able to read dynamic indices drawn from any server-side scripting language. Click here to find out more about dynamic indices.
Compressed indices. To accommodate very large indices, this menu is able to read ZIP-compressed indices, which allows an approximately tenfold (900%) increase in index-reading speed. Click here to find out more about compressed indices.
Additional index features. This menu version additionally offers runtime index switching, DBCS support for indices, and the ability to read indices from parameters as an alternative to static or dynamic server files. Click here to find out more about additional index features.
Programming interface. The enterprise version offers an API for interfacing the menu with your web application. Click here to find out more about the programming interface.
Tools. An online visual configurator is available. Just click configure. It can be used to edit the size, appearance and content of your menu.
Sound effects. The menu can trigger sounds of your choice.
