Hiermenus Go Forth, VI:
Version 4 - The Page-Specific Parameters (cont'd)
HM_PG_TopSecondsVisible
- Description
- Sets the time, in seconds, that the top-level menu of a menu tree remains visible after the user mouses out of the menu tree. All menu trees in the page are affected.
HM_PG_TopSecondsVisible overrides site-wide global settings declared in the external script.
HM_PG_TopSecondsVisible is only meaningful if HM_PG_ClickKill is not set to true.
HM_PG_TopSecondsVisible can be overruled on a per-tree basis by the top_is_permanent parameter element in top-level menu arrays, which causes the top-level menu to be permanently visible and its display is not instigated by any user action.
- Value
- Number
May be specified as:
- integer
- floating point number
- string
- string JS expression to be evaluated
- Example Values
- integer: 1
The top-level menu will remain visible for one second after the user mouses out of the menu tree.
- floating point number: .5
The top-level menu will remain visible for a half second after the user mouses out of the menu tree.
string: "1.5"
The top-level menu will remain visible for one and a half second after the user mouses out of the menu tree.
JS expression: "getTopSecondsVisible()"
A custom function that you have created will be called. The return value of this function will be the HM_PG_TopSecondsVisible parameter, and all menus in the page will comply.
JS expression: "(isMac) ? 1 : .75)"
The complete JS code is included in the parameter declaration. In the above example, HM_PG_TopSecondsVisible will be 1 if a Macintosh is being used and .75 for all other platforms.
- Default
- If this parameter is omitted, the relevant Global Parameter value set in the external script is used.
- Differences from Version 3 equivalent
- The secondsVisible parameter in Version 3:
- accepted only number values.
- was mandatory.
