Selection Parameter

Determines how to distinguish (highlight) item that we clicked last - this is currently loaded page. When this parameter is not set, default distinguishing occurs. Distinguishing occurs in these points:

1. When applet loads, distinguishes item if item's URL is same as URL of document in which applet resides. This covers cases of plain HTML pages or MS shared borders (meaning applet reloads after each selection).
2. Distinguishes item after user selects it. Suitable for frames, when applet is in one frame and selected page is in another (meaning applet doesn't reload after selection).

This guarantees selection distinguishing will work correctly in all cases. Unfortunately this feature doesn't work in IE5 frames. I'm still investigating...

Format

VALUE="<SelectionMode>;<FontName>;<FontStyle>;<FontSize>"
DEFAULT:
  <SelectionMode>="RECURSIVE"
  <FontStyle>="BOLD"

<SelectionMode> can have one of the following values:

• "NONE" = no distinguishing of the selected item.
• "ITEM" = distinguish selected item only.
• "RECURSIVE" = distinguish selected item and all of it's super-menus.

Examples

Recursive distinguishing.

Item that corresponds to this page is in Courier-BOLDITAILC-16 font. Note that item's parent is also displayed in this font.

Item (non-recursive) distinguishing

Same as above, but parent is not highlighted.

No distinguishing

In this case, display of selected item is not different of other items.
