| Menu tabs: iTab Express
Feature list
Main purpose
- Tab strip applet with submenu bar
- For deeper hierarchical depth and larger menu size, items on the
submenu bar can optionally trigger popup menus, which in turn
can cause ever deeper levels of popup menus to appear - just like an operating
system control bar
- Tabs drive layers outside the applet, allowing
high-speed switching between different major sections
of a website
- Submenu bar instantly changes with the tabs
- Hyperlinks on the submenu bar load HTML pages into
the main tab display area
Appearance
- Tabs auto-sized to the text they contain
- Applet can adopt the system colours of the end-users
computer, blending into the browser bar colour scheme
- Applet can also have 1 of 8 internal colour schemes (not the popups)
- All 9 colour areas can also be re-configured by the user to
suit their website (not the popups)
- Submenu bar has rectangular mouse-sensitive highlights emulating the
menubars of operating systems and prompting user-interaction
- Submenu bar highlights can also be coloured blocks
- Tabs can be aligned left, right or centre
- Submenu bar contents can be aligned left, right, centre or
aligned just below their parent tab
- Tab spacing and tab padding available
- Text font, size and style can be reconfigured
- Popup submenus are AWT submenus - and therefore only appear in
system colours
- Tabs can have different styles: standard, various degrees of rounding,
and trapezoid
- Many further appearance options available

Tab behaviour
- Layers driven by the tabs hold their state - form
elements and fresh pages remain in each tab while other
tabs are being viewed

allows vital pages of a website to be preloaded

mouse-click

into the applet and/or changing the number of tabs at
