Class NavigationCommSectionComboBoxView

java.lang.Object
  com.plumtree.portalnavigation.views.NavigationCommSectionComboBoxView

public class NavigationCommSectionComboBoxView
extends java.lang.Object

Horizontal navigation scheme using HTML select elements as menus (aka comboboxes or pull-down menus). This navigation view displays one to three community specific combobox menus with Community actions and community pages, Subcommunities and Related communities. This view is used by the NavTypeHorizontalComboBox navigation scheme in the below banner section, although it can be used in any horizontal space since it doesn't have any external dependencies. Combobox menus are native HTML elements, making them simple to create and use and they work in all browsers. The downside is that they are not very customizable. All entries in the list use the same style and they don't have support for images or other HTML in the menus. Javascript is used to handle menu clicks.
