Control : PopupMenu

Description

When an item is left-clicked, the PopupMenu can drop down (or pop up) to display a list of commands to execute.

Click on the PopupMenu to cause a drop-down menu to appear. Once you make a selection from the menu, the menu disappears, and the behavior represented by that menu item executes.

How To

For a detailed example of how to use the control, see the tutorial...

Limitations

When placed above an embedded Flash movie or Java applet your Popup border (Chrome) may not appear.  This is because in older browsers attempts to place a DHTML layer on top of a Flash layer will fail.

Newer browsers add the ability to layer Flash content with DHTML using the WMODE parameter, which will allow your popup border to appear.

If you use an OBJECT tag, add this child element:

<param name="wmode" value="transparent">

If you use an EMBED tag, add this attribute:

wmode="transparent"

This WMODE fix appears to work with newer browsers in Windows and Mac, but not consistently with browsers under Linux.
