xml menu builder 2.0
Create XML Menus, which are web menus that use XML files for content and CSS for presentation. XML Menu Builder was designed to be a graphical interface that will help users create XML Menus, which are web menus that use XML files for content and CSS for presentation.
Here are some key features of "XML Menu Builder":
Uses XML Data: An XML Menus content is described entirely by an XML file, loaded client-side via AJAX. No special server software or plug-ins are required.
Dynamic Content Loading: XML Menu can load/replace menu content in real time. Here is a simple example.
Uses a CSS Skin: An XML Menus look is described entirely by CSS. By separating content from presentation, XML Menu is able to mimic the look of virtually any menu.
Fast : XML Menu was built for web designers who value speed. Sub Menus snap open without delay.
Scalable : Rather than requiring web designers to hardwire fixed widths/heights for menus, XML Menu is scalable. Scalable menus automatically size themselves, based on the width/height of the menus text/images. This ensures that menus are sized appropriately when menu content is dynamically generated from a database, and allows the developer to change the menu text/images or font size at a later point without having to reset menu widths.
Modular : Many menu vendors expect users to place menu data and code on every single page of their website in the form of nested li or div tags and blocks of inline JavaScript code. While this may look straightforward, the reality is that it makes menu modification and upgrading difficult, as you need to not only modify every single page in your website, but make sure that all pages have the same exact redundant menu information. This is simply a bad idea and is why computer scientists developed the concept of Modular Programming decades ago. XML Menu data and code are kept in separate, self-contained external modules, or in other words ? files. This way, changes only need to be made to individual modules rather than site-wide.
Full Search Engine Support : XML Menu Builder can optionally generate an XML Sitemap, ensuring that pages referenced by XML Menu are indexed by all major search engines, without the heavy overhead of redundant menu markup having to be added to each page. For more information, see the Configuring Search Engine Support section of the Users Guide.
No Unlock Codes : There are no confusing and annoying unlock codes to worry about which you must add to web pages in order to use XML Menu. Unlock codes are common in the web menu industry, yet are contrary to XmlMenu.coms ease-of-use philosophy.
Supports Asian Languages : XML Menu seamlessly supports characters of all Asian languages, including Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
Supports European Languages : XML Menu seamlessly supports characters of all European languages, including Slavic languages, Greek, and accented western European languages.
Cross-Browser Menu Scroller : You no longer need to worry about your sub menus having too many elements to fit in the page. Using the optional Menu Scroller, you can have sub menus with unlimited elements, and have users easily scroll menu elements into view. Unlike many menu vendors that offer Menu Scrollers, ours works on all browsers, including Safari!
Cross-Browser Drop Shadows: XML Menu allows for fine granular control over the exact color and transparency of up to three shadow layers, and gives you complete control over shadow offset.
No Headache Positioning : XML Menu supports static, absolute, and even fixed positioning! You can attach an XML Menu to any
XML Menu Builder 2.12 is a new and better approach to creating web menus. Instead of menu content being described by placing unordered list elements on every single page of your website, XML Menu uses a single XML file to describe menu content. Uses no plug-ins!
XML Menu is a state-of-the-art, client-side web menu builder that uses XML (Extensible Markup Language) to describe menu content and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to describe menu presentation (look and feel). XML Menu is powered by an AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) kernel.
A major feature of XML Menu is XML Menu Builder, an easy-to-use wizard that enables people with no web design experience to create versatile, powerful, and sophisticated web menus. Power users can still take advantage of the AJAX kernel while coding or modifying their XML/CSS by hand, using the editor of their choice.
XML Menu departs from traditional DHTML menus that require users to supply menu data for every single page of their website in the form of unordered list elements. Instead, XML Menu generates data that is kept in a standards-compliant, external XML file, making it both easy-to-modify and validate. Menu presentation information is kept in external CSS files. This fulfills the ultimate goal of web development purists, since XML Menu provides both full-standardization and full separation of content from presentation.
XML Menu provides full search engine support through the standardized XML Sitemap protocol.
XML Menu does not require Flash or any other plug-in. It is completely client-based, and does not require any server-side software. XML data is loaded via AJAX, which is native to all browsers in use today.
Major Benefits:
- Menu powered by AJAX
- Menu content described entirely with XML
- Menu presentation described entirely with CSS
- 100% standardized search engine support via XML Sitemaps
- Unlimited domains
- Unlimited developers per site
- Cross-browser
- Easy to modify with XML Menu Builder or by hand
- No Unlock Codes
- No JavaScript data
- No having to place list elements on every page of your website
- No plugins
- No server software

The menu script can be customized highly and easily through the SCP(Script Configuration Program). You can specify caption, font, color, link and more to script. It is unnecessary to write any code manually. SCP will generate all necessary codes automatically.
You need to upload some files to web server to get the menu to work and all these files will be saved along with the project file so that you can easily find and publish them to the Internet or deploy to Intranet. Help documentation is included but you may not need it with this easy-to-use tool.
With this easy-to-use script authoring tool, you can make a professional menu just in minutes!
This tool was included into Web Designers Toolkit. It includes some other script tools with a lower price.
It was designed to overcome problems found with using JavaScripts for rollovers in page inserts.
Menus need to be fast loading, retrievable from cache, and workable with page inserts. From the publishing point of view they need to be able to be placed into pages efficiently.
Menu Builder enjoys the same rollover functions as JavaScript, but in a simple package that can be easily copied to your web pages. To increase your directory, simply paste another Menu Builder to the page.
There is no limit to how many can be used on a page or the variations possible. On MouseOver it displays background tiles, swaps images, displays text, plays sounds and is clickable for linking.
