DynarchMenu [2.9]

Thu Mar 30 15:20:30 2006

This version includes support for scrolling menus. You can enable this feature by passing “scrolling: true” to DynarchMenu.setup. 2 scroll speeds are supported, which can be easily configured.

Some minor bug fixes as well.

DynarchMenu [2.8.2]

Sun Mar 5 13:41:13 2006

Fixes a minor bug described by one of our customers. Added a new sample that shows how to setup menus that popup upon keybindings.

DynarchMenu [2.8.1]

Tue Oct 18 07:36:15 2005

This is a bugfix release that fixes the menu functionality within an IFRAME or in cross-frames mode.

Previous version (2.8) had problems when menus were defined in an IFRAME document. As for the cross-frames menus, it only worked when the menu frames were direct sub-frames of the toplevel frameset. Version 2.8.1 fixes all that.

DynarchMenu version 2.8 features experimental support for cross-frame menus and a few fixes for menus over IFRAME-s. Check out the demos: cross-frames vertical, cross-frames horizontal, iframes.

DynarchMenu [2.7]

Besides the most obvious licensing change—you can now use DynarchMenu for free, provided that you offer us a link back and you don't have commercial purposes—here's what's new in this release:

The ability to call a custom event handler when a popup is displayed. This allows you to customize the menu dynamically—such as disabling some items, or hide/show items, etc. See the sample.
A new special class name ("open-left") on the submenu <ul>-s will instruct DynarchMenu to always open that popup to the left, even if there is room on the right side. We're using that in our shopping cart menu and submenus.
[bugfix] Lazy mode can now be used with context menus.
DynarchMenu will now add an extra class to items that have a submenu, allowing for special customization—for instance you might want to assign them a different background, etc.
An alternate, semantic way of adding shortcut keys is now supported: just use the "accesskey" attribute on the <a> tag. This means you no longer need to have those underscores in code, which could improve SE opinion about your page. ;-) Of course, the old way is still supported.
If you use the "clone popups" feature, you now need to pass "clone: true" to all invocations of DynarchMenu.setup. We made this change because the clone feature is rarely useful, so it makes sense not to clone the elements by default—saves memory, runs faster. ;-)
Added an utility function to preload CSS background-image-s for Internet Explorer. Dramatically improves load time in IE and reduces bandwidth consumption.
Several new skins are included (BeOS™, Longhorn™), and some subtle fixes on the others. Documentation improvements and new samples are also provided.
Finally, it fixes a couple of rare bugs that sometimes occurred in electric mode (sometimes the menus failed to close when the mouse leaves them).

This is the first version tested with Internet Explorer 7.0 Beta, and we have to say, it works excellent. The PieNG hack is no longer necessary (but it doesn't hurt to use it anyway, for IE5.5 and 6). Microsoft is finally delivering.

Enjoy! ;-)
