Welcome to Menu.Applet
Welcome to Ulead's Menu.Applet, a powerful Java™-based application program
that lets you create active slider and pop-up menus for your Web pages with
maximum ease and a minimum of fuss. Menu.Applet is designed to help even novice
users create stunning Web sites and add impressive effects – without having to write
a single line of code.
Why Java™-based menus?
Menus rarely follow the one-level format of one parent item – many child items.
More often than not, one menu item leads to more options, creating multi-level
menus that would be difficult to lay out using traditional text and image–based
methods, as these require all menu items to be displayed simultaneously. This results
in increased Web page sizes and a cluttered appearance.
Java-based menus were developed to provide Web authors with an easy way to place
menus with 2 or more submenus by hiding submenu items and showing them only
when clicked. Not only are these menus functional; they are an eye-catching and
dynamic element in any Web site.
Basic terminology
Following is a list of common terminology used throughout this user guide:
Menu Interactive lists that display a
number of choices for users (in this case,
Internet Web surfers) to choose from.
When selected, each choice then displays a
graphic image, a media clip, a download
action, or another Web page.
Menu Items Options listed in a menu. In
most cases, further options (submenus) are
found within these choices, bringing about
a multi-level menu.
Pop-up Menu A menu that displays its
submenus only on mouseover.
