What is NU2 XML Menu
XML Menu is a simple menu system that uses
XML and DOM to describe popup menus for your website. At the moment it is
written for Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher. By the way, the NU2 website uses
Hiermenus just for compatibility reasons. You can find the link at the bottom of
this page.
Why NU2 XML Menu
I just keep asking me that same question over
and over again! Well, the real reason is that my knowledge of XML was below zero
and the knowledge of DOM (Document object model) wasn't much better. And of
course I needed a menu system for our intranet website.
Examples
The menusystem works only with IE5.5 or higer
!!!-
example one
shows a horizontal main menu with some sub menus at an absolute position,
-
example two shows a horizontal
and a vertical main menu with some sub menus at an absolute position.
Download
There are two version you can download:
- normal,
with some info in the source,
- compressed (!?!).
When i have some spare time...
- add target node (xml),
-
optimize the menusystem, remove unnecessary _nu2MObj.goto's,
- add a document
type declaration (DTD) for making it well formed,
- maybe and i say maybe a
Netscape 6 compatible version.
