| menu_n_m |

You can have a maximum of 10 submenu items per main menu

| url_n_m |
The URL to go to

and 'm' relate to the values on menu_n_m. For each
menu_n_m you MUST have a corresponding url_n_m parameter. |
| target_n_m |
The target window
to open this URL in. Valid values of _top _self
_parent or _blank (see below). Values 'n' and 'm'
relate to the values on menu_n_m. For each menu_n_m
you MUST have a corresponding target_n_m parameter. |
Further explanation of the menu_n parameters (an example) :
Say we want a menu with two main menus, where each main menu
options has 3 sub menu options. First we would have our
main menu options as follows :
<param name="menu_1" value="My Menu 1">
<param name="menu_2" value="My Menu 2">
Now, we must list at least one sub menu for each of those main
menu options ... we want three each, so that's fine.
<param name="menu_1_1" value="sub menu 1
of 3">
<param name="menu_1_2" value="sub menu 2 of
3">
<param name="menu_1_3" value="sub menu 3 of
3">
<param name="url_1_1" value="http://www.yoururl.com/">
<param name="url_1_2" value="http://www.yoururl2.com/">
<param name="url_1_3" value="http://www.yoururl3.com/">
<param name="target_1_1" value="_top">
<param name="target_1_2" value="_top">
<param name="target_1_3" value="_blank">
Note that the _1_ in all the above parameters refers to the 1
in menu_1 (i.e. the first main menu button).
Our second menu options would look the same, but with a _2_ as
follows :
<param name="menu_2_1" value="sub menu 1
of 3">
<param name="menu_2_2" value="sub menu 2 of
3">
<param name="menu_2_3" value="sub menu 3 of
3">
<param name="url_2_1" value="http://www.another.com/">
<param name="url_2_2" value="http://www.another2.com/">
<param name="url_2_3" value="http://www.another3.com/">
<param name="target_2_1" value="_blank">
<param name="target_2_2" value="_top">
<param name="target_2_3" value="_top">
Note, each sub menu option has it's own URL to go to, has it's
own text value, and it's own target window to open the URL
into.
We recommend you group together the menu options as shown in
the example above in HTML Example for clarity of
reading, however that's not totally necessary for the applet
to work.
Note, the number of sub menus can vary from main menu button
to main menu button .... button 1 can have three sub menus,
but button 2 may have 8, and so on.
Color Hex Values and URL Target Values

and what URL Target window values mean can be found

Download Demo
There is a demo version which you can use to try out the
applet before purchasing. Demo version is fully
functional, but menu options will always send the user to this
site. Replace the name of the class in the html
specified above with jonetMenu3Demo.class Download here : jonetMenu3Demo.class
