Hiermenus Go Forth*, XXIII:
Version 4.1.1 - The Complete Script (Full-Window)
Welcome to a new HM release.
This release resolves a single important outstanding issue: the IE memory leak outlined in our HM Known Issues page.
You will find that HM 4.1.1 improves performance in IE for Windows and greatly increases speed in IE for Macintosh.
IE6 Note: There are a few very minor issues with HM in the newly-released IE6 for Windows. These are being identified and will be addressed in the next minor release. They all spring from IE6's improved standards support.
If you are experiencing a problem with the sizing/positioning of HM in your pages with IE6, please:
Let us know. Attach the text from the HEAD of your problem page to mail sent through this link:
Change the DOCTYPE in your page to point to a less-rigidly-standards-compliant DTD, or omit the DTD URL altogether.
If you have already sent in a report, do not resend it. It has been taken into account.
Our HierMenus columns can be appreciated by all DHTML developers and
HierMenus fans. If you plan to use HierMenus on your own Web site,
however, you will need to purchase a HierMenus license. Contact
Barry Pullen via our
contact form
or call him at (203) 662-2868 for further information (be
sure to let her know how you plan to use HierMenus and tell him a bit
about your organization, as well).
As always, there is no documentation other than that already presented in previous columns. However, all the parameters used in the script are described in detail. Just about everything you need to know about using the script has been published in Columns 36 to 42. Additional minor information has been included in the release columns (43 to 58), usually pertaining to an adjustment introduced in the particular release.
But before you click the above link, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING POINTS:
Most of the mail still revolves around questions answered in the FAQ: HM FAQ. Please check these for a possible answer to your problem.
We cannot provide additional instructions at this time. They will be forthcoming, along with detailed discussion of the code once Version 4 is rock-stable.
The menu look and behavior in the download is only one of many possible look-behavior combinations. The parameters discussed in columns 36 --> 42 achieve menu customization. Please familiarize yourself with these.
