Class NavigationCommSectionDropDownView

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

public class NavigationCommSectionDropDownView
extends java.lang.Object

Horizontal navigation view for displaying drop-down menus using jsportalmenus, and combobox framework. This navigation view displays a three tab horizontal menu with community specific content. The menu entries are listed in a row and one set of entries is always displayed in the row. Clicking on one of the tabs displays the entries for that tab. Menu entries will wrap to multiple rows when necessary. This view is used by the NavTypeJSPortalMenuDropDown navigation scheme in the below banner section. It uses javascript functions defined in navtabsections.js (included in NavTypeJSPortalMenuDropDown.java). NavTypeJSPortalMenuDropDown also relies on markers in this view ( NavigationCommonHelpers.CreateDropDownEndMarkers() ). Now supports browser detection internally, so this view can be used as a nested view by other navigation views. This view supports auto-browser handling so it can be used by external custom navigations. Custom navs thatuse this view MUST also use the JavaScriptIncludes() method on NavTypeJSPortalMenuDropDown to return proper javascript to support this view.
