Deleting a Menu Layer

There are times when you may not need all six menu buttons in Jazz. Once you have removed the menu button, you will also want to remove the associated menu flyout layer. This exercise will walk you through the process of removing one of the existing menu layers: the "Reviews" flyout layer.

Removing the "Reviews" menu flyout layer is a 3 Step process:

  1. Modify the N4 autoHide behavior on the BODY, onLoad event to remove the affected layer name from the behavior.
  2. Modify the Snap behavior on the BODY, onResize event to remove the affected layer name form the behavior.
  3. Remove the entire layer <div> tag that houses the menu layer and its contents.

1. Adjust the N4 autoHide event

The N4 autoHide event is fired onLoad to allow Netscape4 to properly hide the menu flyout layers. We will remove the name of the layer from this behavior. For our example, the menu layer name associated with the "Reviews" button is "flym3".

Select the <body> tag at the bottom left of the main window.

Open the Behaviors Panel and double-click the N4 autoHide by PVII behavior to open the interface.

Select the line that references layer "flym3" and click the De-Select button.

Click OK to apply the changes.

2. Modify the Snap behavior

We placed a Snap behavior on the Body, onResize event that is designed to place all of the menu layers to the top-left of the page when the browser window is resized (this avoids spawning scrollbars). We will modify this event to remove the reference to the "flym3" layer.

Select the body tag at the bottom left of the main window.

Open the Behaviors Panel and double-click the Snap Layers by PVII behavior to open the interface.

Select the line that references "anchmain (layer "flym3",0,0)" and click the minus (-) button to remove this line from the list.

Click the OK to apply the changes.

3. Remove the entire menu layer

Open the Layers Panel

Click on line containg the "flym3" layer to select it.

Hit the Del (Delete) key to remove the entire layer and its contents.

That's it! The "Reviews" menu layer, and all references to it, are now completely removed. You can save the template page now to update the rest of the pages in the site.

Note: This step assumes that you have already removed the corresponding menu button and its related references as well. If you hav not removed the menu button do so now by following the instructions in Deleting a Menu Button.
