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

HM_PG_KeepHilite

Description

Sets the item highlight rollover behavior for all menu trees in the page. Parent menu items that spawn a child menu remain highlighted while the user navigates the child menu.

Highlight is maintained (HM_PG_KeepHilite = true)

Highlight is not maintained (HM_PG_KeepHilite = false)

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

May be specified as:

• true Boolean (true / false)
• integer Boolean (1 / 0)
• string
• string JS expression to be evaluated

JS expression: "getKeepHightlight()"

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

JS expression: "(isMac) ? false : true)"

The complete JS code is included in the parameter declaration. In the above example, HM_PG_KeepHilite will be false if a Macintosh is being used and true for all other platforms.
