What can this menu do for you?
» This is a sliding java menu applet suitable for use as a navigation bar down the side of your page.
» Submenus. The menus have one level of sliding submenus. The Iridium-II sliding menu uses an expanding button design - the parent menu item expands its border to include the submenu. Move the mouse over the sliding menu to try out this effect. Click here to find out more about sliding submenus.
» Iridium-II theme. The Iridium-II design is a particularly complex design. Based entirely on a single colour of your choice, a wood-grain or metal-brush effect is generated. For wood-grain results, shades of brown are recommended. For brushed metal effects, experiment with gray and yellow as base colours, to produce silver and gold results. This is a simpler variant of the primary design. Each top-level menu item is clearly demarcated with its own border. Different menu types are categorised into themes, so you can obtain a variety of matching menus. Click here to see all the menus which match this theme.
» States and colours. The menu items each have three states combining to distinguish rollover items and submenu items. Click here to find out more about states and colours.
» Fonts and text formatting. The menu supports true-type fonts and you can format text colour, size, weight and alignment. Click here to find out more about fonts and text formatting.
» Layout and line-wrapping. This menu features automated layout. Automated layout means that the menu adapts itself to the content you enter into it. For example, buttons and menu items will be automatically sized and the thematic elements recalculated to fit precisely. Click here to find out important information about layout and line-wrapping, including design tips and essential guidance.
» Icons. Icons are supported. Icons are multi-state and easily redefined by the user. Click here to find out more about icons.
» Hyperlinks. Every menu item can have hyperlinks attached. Click here to find out more about hyperlinks.
