Re: WebFacing - Create Hyperlink for MNUDDS

That is very old stuff (pre-5126), the ideas are still good but the
implementation may not be right in sync with what is there now. I would
use the newer (versioned) javascript calls as I don't know the
implications of using the older (unversioned) form. I know we wrote some
adapter calls to try and handle them but YMMV..

Hi Mike,

I found (don't know how I missed it the first couple of searches...but I
did) the "Mastering Web Facing" red book, and in it, I found some great

java

script that allows me to not only select MenuDDS menu items, but also

gives

some nifty examples for rollover functions which really dress it up.

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246331.html?Open

Here's the java script, for example:

<STYLE TYPE="TEXT/CSS">

<!--.menux {display:none; margin-left:20px;z-index: 3}.itemx

{background-color: white; font-family:Times New Roman;

font-size :

15pt;\r\ncursor: pointer; cursor: hand;}.itemz {

background-color:

white; font-family : Times New Roman;

font-size : 14pt; cursor:

pointer;cursor: hand;}-->

</STYLE>


<DIV ONMOUSEOVER="this.style.background='yellow';"

ONMOUSEOUT="this.style.background=document.body.currentStyle.backgroundColor

;" onClick="toggleMenu('menux1')" class=itemx>Item Maintenance</DIV>
<DIV class=menux id="menux1">

<PRE>

<SPAN class=itemz ONMOUSEOVER="this.style.background='yellow';"

ONMOUSEOUT="this.style.background=document.body.currentStyle.backgroundColor

;" onClick="setOptionAndSubmit('1');">
Add Items
</SPAN>

<SPAN class=itemz ONMOUSEOVER="this.style.background='yellow';"

ONMOUSEOUT="this.style.background=document.body.currentStyle.backgroundColor

;" onClick="setOptionAndSubmit('2');">
Change Items
</SPAN>

<SPAN class=itemz ONMOUSEOVER="this.style.background='yellow';"

ONMOUSEOUT="this.style.background=document.body.currentStyle.backgroundColor

;" onClick="setOptionAndSubmit('3');">
Remove Items
</SPAN>

</PRE>

</DIV>

Hmmm, I'll have to ponder this.

As a cheap work-around for now (if you are using a current release) you

could try putting something something like
<wf:js function="setOptionAndSubmit"/>('1','SCREEN');
as the JavaScript to call for the menu text action hyperlink (the 1 is

the

menu option numer).
