public class MenuBar

The MenuBar is a TransformationBean™ that generates the appropriate HTML 4.0 and JavaScript for creating a MenuBar. The MenuBar TransformationBean™ contains Menus which contain MenuItems. The MenuBar can be horizontally or vertically oriented. The default orientation is horizontal. A MenuBar can have a type of DROP_HOVER, DROP_CLICK or NAVIGATION.

The MenuBar is one of several TransformationBeans™ that rely on a set of style classes that are used by default when generating the resulting markup language. For more information on style sheets and the default style classes that apply to this TransformationBean™, refer to the AppDev Studio Developer Site. You'll find a useful reference document entitled Cascading Style Sheets, Images, and TransformationBeans™ as well as the TransformationBeans™ Style Sheet Reference.

The MenuBar is one of several TransformationBeans™ that rely on JavaScript to provide some of its functionality. These JavaScript files are including automatically by the tbean. See JavaScriptIncludeHandler for more information about how these files are included and how to customize this behavior. The MenuBar uses the following JavaScript files:

sas_menubar.js

Note that the toString() method on this class calls the write method, which may have undesirable side effects. See BaseTransformation.toString() for more information. Debuggers often use toString() to show the value of a variable, and this may cause unexpected behavior while debugging

Examples for this class may be found on the Examples Site.

JSP custom tags provide an alternative to using the TransformationBeans™. Visit the Custom Tag Library Reference for additional information on the sas:MenuBar custom tag.
