Individual Item Styles


Individual item styles are special menu parameters (arrays) that you can assign to each item of the menu.
Using these styles you make your menus more attractive and more convenient.



var bitemStyles = [
        ["paramName=value", "paramName=value", "paramName=value", ...],     // style with index 0
        ["paramName=value", "paramName=value", "paramName=value", ...],     // style with index 1
        ...
];


Each style can accept the following item parameters:

paramName=value Description
bfontStyle = style1,style2,style3 Normal, mouseover and selected font styles.
bfontColor = color1,color2,color3 Normal, mouseover and selected font colors.
bfontDecoration = decor1,decor2,decor3 Normal, mouseover and selected font decorations.
Available values:
"none", "solid", "double", "dotted", "dashed", "groove", "ridge".
bitemBackColor = color1,color2,color3 Normal, mouseover and selected item background colors.
bitemBorderColor = color1,color2,color3 Normal, mouseover and selected item border colors.
bitemBorderWidth = width1,width2,width3 Normal, mouseover and selected item border width.
bitemBorderStyle = style1,style2,style3 Normal, mouseover and selected item border styles.
Available values:
"none", "solid", "double", "dotted", "dashed", "groove", "ridge".
bitemBackImage = img1,img2,img3 Normal, mouseover and selected item background images.
bitemWidth = number Item width.
biconW = number Icons width.
biconH = number Icons height.
bbeforeItemImage = img1,img2,img3 Normal, mouseover and selected item left images.
bafterItemImage = img1,img2,img3 Normal, mouseover and selected item right images.


There is also one more individual parameter:

bitemBackImageSpec = "normal-normal,normal-over,normal-selected,over-normal,over-selected,selected-normal,selected-over".

Where: normal-normal, normal-over, ... - are images for different double-states.
This individual parameter is used when you want tabs to look more impressive.



For example, following items use this parameter to make a brind-to-front effect:



To achieve this effect tabs use the following structure:

Item1 separator Item2 separator Item3 separator Item4

Each separator has 7 states:

                                   

and uses the following syntax:

["-",,,,,"0"],

Where "0" - is an individual style number that includes bitemBackImageSpec property with names of 7 images.

Once you created item styles you can assign them to menu items.
For example:

var bstyles = [
        ["bitemWidth=22","bitemBackImageSpec=images/style01_nn_center.gif,images/style01_no_center.gif,
        images/style01_ns_center.gif,images/style01_on_center.gif,images/style01_os_center.gif,
        images/style01_sn_center.gif,images/style01_so_center.gif"],     // style 0
        ["bbeforeItemImage=images/style01_n_left.gif,images/style01_o_left.gif,images/style01_s_left.gif"],     // style 1
        ["bafterItemImage=images/style01_n_right.gif,images/style01_o_right.gif,images/style01_s_right.gif"],     // style 2
];


var bmenuItems = [
        ["Style Name", "div1", "myicon1.gif", "myicon2.gif", "myicon3.gif", "Home Page Tip", "1"],       // assign style 1
        ["-", "", "", "", "", "", "0"],      // assign style 0
        ["Style Description", "div2", "", "", "", "Write Us Tip", ""],
        ["-", "", "", "", "", "", "0"],      // assign style 0
        ["Empty", "div2", "myicon1.gif", "myicon2.gif", "myicon3.gif", "Home Page Tip", "2"],      // assign style 2
];
