Likno Software Blog – Drop-Down Menus, Javascript Menus, DHTML Menus

AllWebMenus Pro application gives you the ability to choose the position of your menu inside your page.

In order to choose the position of your menu through AllWebMenus Pro, you have to click on the Menu Positioning button. After you click on this button a window as shown in the picture below, will appear.

If you want your menu to have a window-related position, then you should choose "Relative to Window", and select where you want the menu to be placed.

If you want your menu to have an element-related position (e.g. an image, a table, a div, etc) you have to choose (like in the red box) "Relative to an Element", and then the place in the element that want the menu to be placed (from the properties below - Element/Menu Anchor and offsets). Then, you have to copy the code (press the green box) and paste it into an id into the properties of the element you want your menu inside (check the samples of code by pressing '?' button next to 'Copy'). Just decide inside which element you want your menu to appear and paste the code there.

To find more info in the Help section, please go to:

Help -> Properties -> Properties Description -> Property: Positioning.

When you build a site using ASP/PHP pages, you have to follow a different way so as to link your menu to them.

If your site has master page(s), namely page(s) that include other page(s) and you want your menu to appear in the included page(s) you have to do the following:

1. Link your menu in the master page(s) using the Link procedure of your AllWebMenus Pro application.
2. Position your menu in the included page(s) adding the appropriate line of positioning code in their source code. You can find all the appropriate information about how to position your menu through AllWebMenus Pro in the Help section (go to Help -> Properties -> Properties Description -> Property: Positioning).
