Hiermenus Go Forth, V:
Version 4 - The Page-Specific Parameters (cont'd)

HM_PG_BorderColor

Description

Sets the border color for all menus in the page. All menus, in all cascades (top-level and children) are affected.

HM_PG_BorderColor overrides site-wide global settings declared in the external script.

HM_PG_BorderColor can be overwritten on a per-tree basis by the border_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: "#99AD3F"

All menu borders will display in the color defined by #99AD3F

string: "red"

All menu borders will display in red.

JS expression: "getBorderColor()"

A custom function that you have created will be called. The return value of this function will be the HM_PG_BorderColor parameter, and all menus in the page will comply.

JS expression: "(IE4) ? 'threedhighlight' : 'black'"

The complete JS code is included in the parameter declaration. In the above example, HM_PG_BorderColor will be threedhighlight (an IE4+ user-defined system color value) if Explorer for Windows is being used and black 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 borCol 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. "activeborder"

Next, HM_PG_BorderStyle.
