HM_PG_SeparatorColor

Description

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

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

HM_PG_SeparatorColor can be overwritten on a per-tree basis by the separator_color parameter element in top-level menu arrays.

Value

Hexadecimal color values or color name.
IE-only: May also use CSS decimal RGB color values or user-defined system color value.

May be specified as:

string JS expression to be evaluated

Note:
Only Internet Explorer and Netscape 6 will render the separator color. Navigator 4 will always render the separator in the same color as the menu border.

JS expression: "getSeparatorColor()"

HM_PG_SeparatorColor

Default

If this parameter is omitted, the relevant Global Parameter value set in the external script is used.

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. "threedhighlight"
