Hiermenus Go Forth, IV:
Version 4 - The Page-Specific Parameters
HM_PG_BGColor
- Description
- Sets the background color of all menu items in the page. All menus, in all cascades (top-level and children) are affected.
HM_PG_BGColor overrides site-wide global settings declared in the external script.
HM_PG_BGColor can be overwritten on a per-tree basis by the background_color parameter element in top-level menu arrays.
- Value
- Hexadecimal color values or color name.
IE-only: May also use CSS decimal RGB color value or user-defined system color value.
May be specified as:
- string
- string JS expression to be evaluated
- Example Values
- string: "#0038AD"
All menu item backgrounds will display in the color defined by #0038AD
string: "green"
All menu item text backgrounds will display in green.
JS expression: "getBGColor()"
A custom function that you have created will be called. The return value of this function will be the HM_PG_BGColor parameter, and all menus in the page will comply.
JS expression: "(IE4) ? 'threedface' : 'lightgrey'"
The complete JS code is included in the parameter declaration. In the above example, HM_PG_BGColor will be threedface (an IE4+ user-defined system color value) if Explorer is being used and lightgrey for all other browsers.
- Default
- If this parameter is omitted the relevant Global Parameter value, set in the external script is used.
- Differences from Version 3 equivalent
- The backCol parameter in Version 3:
- was mandatory.
- did not accept JS expression values.
- Comments
- If you are writing for an IE-only environment, for example, a corporate intranet, you can also use:
- CSS decimal RGB color values in the form: rgb(red green blue)
Ex. "rgb(205 5 122)"
- user-defined system color values. See Column 24 for a complete list of these values.
Ex. "infobackground"
