Software Review
Pop-Up Website Navigation Menu

The following appeared in the Lockergnome Windows Daily on July 10, 2002. Unfortunately, this review is no longer on their website. If it were, I'd provide a link to it. Oh, you don't know what Lockergnome is? They run a series of free technology related online newsletters. Click here to find out more and to subscribe. They boast a circulation of approximately 250,000 daily. Pretty cool, huh? Anyway, I hope you enjoy my review.

Pop-Up Menu Navigation Software
Scribbled by Pat Wong

I found some really cool software to generate Web site navigation menus, and I thought you might be interested in learning about it. There are several examples on the company's site, as well as on my own. Here's a small write-up about it; perhaps you'd be interested in running this in a future Lockergnome issue? We've all seen a lot of really cool site navigation menus, with pop-up text, neat mouseover effects, and the like. Most of them require a combination of HTML and JavaScript to build, which is expertise that goes way beyond some of us. At last, it's possible to easily generate just such a menu with some very user-friendly screens to enter the data you want to use.

Pop-Up Menu comes in a freeware version, or you can get a fully licensed version ($34.95 for a Home User license / $129.95 for the Web Designer license). The biggest difference? With the licensed version, you get the ability to save a menu you've generated so you can modify it later. Your only alternative, if you want to make even a simple change to a menu generated by the freeware version, is to create the whole menu again from scratch (or diving into the nuts and bolts of the code and modifying that). Be forewarned: The JavaScript reads like a novel, so modifying that could potentially be a nightmare. I decided to buy the fully licensed version and I'm really glad I did. Sorry if I sound like a commercial for the company; I don't work for them or stand to be compensated in any way for recommending them. I just think this menu system is the greatest thing to come along in a while.
