Programming a WEBDEV drop-down menu
Once the drop-down menu of your site is created, all you have to do is associate an action with each menu option. Programming the menu options can be done: - In the page editor, in the option description.
- In the code editor, by programming in WLanguage or in JavaScript.
Several WLanguage functions can also be used to programmatically handle menu options. For more details, see Menu management functions. Remark: You have the ability to only program the ending options of the menu. Page editor: defining the actions associated with the menu options The action associated with the menu option is defined in the description window of the menu option. Reminder: To display the description window of a menu option: - Double-click the menu: a yellow border appears.
