website pages. i would like to know if menumaker is compatible with PHP, and if so, is there anything special i need to know to use it on my screens.

Hi Wrs2,

Welcome to Talkgraphics.

I'm not sure how to answer your question.

Menu Maker creates graphics files and a javascript file that processes the mouse over, click events for the menu. It doesn't interact with your website or PHP directly. There are plug-ins available to work with FrontPage and Dreamweaver, but they only paste the code to handle the mouse events into the web page files created by programs.

If you have html files on your website the javascript can be place in an html file. Or if you PHP code can interface with javascript, simply include the javascript into your PHP code.

Or if you know how to code PHP to handle the mouse events for the menu, you may be able to replace the javascript with PHP code.

In either case you will need to update the path statements to the location of the graphic files (and javascript if used).

The sample html file created by Menu Maker is very simple:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>MenuMaker produced NavBar</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="BLACK">
<script src="xaramenu.js"></script><script menumaker src="gel_square.js"></script>
</body></html>

Graphics files for each menu item, mouse events, any sub menus, and two javascript files are the only other output.

hi soquili, thank you very much for your detailed reply to my menu-maker inquiry regarding its interface with PHP.

i am an old (years ago) website creator in html, and all of the good stuff today is new to me. my partner is more uptodate and i will share your reply with him.
