Important facts  you should know about DHTML Menu Builder:

  • The menus are rendered from an external JavaScript file. This offers the ability to the browsers to cache the file and provide faster downloads for your users.
  • The code used to call the external JavaScript file can be automatically included by DHTML Menu Builder for you.
  • DHTML Menu Builder stores the menus already rendered on the JavaScript file, so your users' machines are never used to render the menus.
    Large menus could freeze the client computer for up 30 seconds forcing your user into thinking his browser has crashed. This will never happen with DHTML Menu Builder... actually, the menus are available to the user even before the page has been completely rendered by the browser.
  • DHTML Menu Builder's advanced rendering engine is capable of producing 100% accurate results regardless the browser used and the platform from where is being ran.
  • The same rendering engine is capable of producing over 71,946 characters of compiled code in less than 7 seconds.
  • As of January 13, 2001, DHTML Menu Builder is the only application capable of producing DHTML-based menus compatible with Netscape Navigator 6.
  • As of May 4, 2001, DHTML Menu Builder is the only application capable of producing menus that work under Opera 5.
  • As of March 17, 2003, DHTML Menu Builder is the only application of its kind offering preliminary support to KHTML-based browser such as Safari and Konqueror.
