Strong VMenu is an application that builds vertical navigation menus. Use VMenu when you want to add a vertical navigation menu to your site.

Due to the possibility to add captions/subcaptions to the menu, you can group items and create large navigation menus with really usable interfaces.

Menus created with Strong VMenu are completely based on CSS and do not use scripts; that is why they are most attractive for search engines.

These menus perfectly work in all modern browsers. We have successfully tested them in Internet Explorer 6, FireFox 1.0, Opera 9, Konqueror 3.5.2, Netscape 7.

Vertical Menu Builder has 4 sections: Items, Item Style, Menu Style and Output. Use the Items section to add/remove menu items, the Menu Style section to edit the general appearance of the menu, the Item Style section to edit the appearance of menu items and the Output section to get the final HTML/CSS code of the menu.

Items
The Items section consists of the item list, buttons for adding/removing items and several edit fields for changing the parameters of items.

The Add Item button adds a new tab. Clone Item adds a new tab with the parameters of the selected tab. Delete Item deletes the selected tab.
The Normal, Current and Caption options set the type of the menu item, where Normal corresponds to a normal menu item, Current corresponds to the current section in the menu and Caption corresponds to captions/subcaptions in the menu.

The Text field is used to edit the text that is displayed on the menu tab. The Hint field is used to specify the text of the hint that appears when you move the mouse pointer over the tab. The URL field is used to specify the hyperlink that is opened when you click the tab. The URL Target is used to specify the frame where the hyperlink should be opened (leave the field blank to open it in the same window or enter "_blank" to open it in a new browser window).

Menu Style
Use options in the Menu Style section to edit the general appearance of the menu.

Item Style
Use options in the Item Style section to edit the appearance of items in four different states: Normal, Over, Current and Caption, where Normal corresponds to a normal menu item, Current corresponds to the current section in the menu and Caption corresponds to captions/subcaptions in the menu.

Output
To get the HTML/CSS code of the menu, you should enter the name of the menu and, if the menu uses images, specify the directories containing the CSS file with the styles of your site and the subdirectory with image files.

These parameters are necessary to generate the correct code and to save images used in the menu. Use the Save Images button to save all images necessary for the menu to the selected subdirectory. Click Generate Codes to generate the CSS/HTML code of the menu. The generated code is displayed in two text areas below. Copy them and use them on your site.
