294 Chapter 12: Creating Buttons and Pop-up Menus
About the Pop-up Menu Editor
The Pop-up Menu Editor is a tabbed dialog box that guides you through the creation of a
pop-up menu. Its many options for controlling the characteristics of a pop-up menu are
organized in four tabs:
Content
has options for determining the basic menu structure, as well as the text, URL link,
and target for each menu item.
Appearance contains options that determine the appearance of each menu cell’s Up state and
Over state, as well as the menu’s vertical and horizontal orientation.
Advanced
contains options that determine the cell dimensions, padding, and spacing; the cell
border width and color; menu delay; and text indention.
Position contains options that determine the menu and submenu placement:
■
The Menu setting places the pop-up menu relative to the slice. Preset positions include
bottom, lower right, top, and upper right of a slice.
■
The Submenu setting places the pop-up submenu to the right or lower right of the parent
menu, or below it.
Depending on the design of the pop-up menu, you may not use all the tabs or options in the
Pop-up Menu Editor. You can edit settings in any tab anytime, but you must add at least one
menu item in the Content tab to create a menu that you can preview in a browser.
