| Introduction This tutorial will guide
you through the complete process of creating working menus from
scratch.
If you would like to see how the menus and the
project will look like at the end, download the
zip file containing everything mentioned
in this tutorial.
The Toolbar Feature
DHTML Menu Builder can create a toolbar from the group
elements on your project so each group element is treated as an
item inside the toolbar. From now on we will call these items
"toolbar items".
Using the Toolbar feature is the easiest way of creating and
implementing the menus on your web site. You don't have to concern yourself with
issues
like alignment, positioning, preparing and creating your
hotspots because DHTML Menu Builder will do
everything for you.
Starting the Tutorial
Before we begin working with DHTML Menu Builder you should
have an HTML document already created that will ultimately display the menus.
Create a folder on your hard drive
and call it DMB_Tutorial. (For example,
"c:\DMB_Tutorial\") Then create
an empty HTML file in that folder and name it hotspots.htm.
Later in the tutorial you will see how we will use this file as
the receiver for the menus.
Now, create a folder called menus inside the c:\DMB_Tutorial\ folder.
We will use this folder to store the JavaScript file generated
by DHTML Menu Builder.
Finally, create a folder called images inside the c:\DMB_Tutorial\ folder.
We will use this folder to store any images you menus may use.
Your folder structure should look something like the image below.
