BorderWidth

Description:

The width, in pixels, of the menu's border.

Value:

Integer, or JavaScript expression that returns an integer. Negative values are not allowed.

Applies To:

Menus.

Browser Compatibility:

BorderWidth is supported in all browsers.

Comments:

Setting BorderWidth will automatically set BorderTopWidth, BorderRightWidth, BorderBottomWidth, and BorderLeftWidth in those browsers that support those parameters. Therefore, it is important to supply the BorderWidth parameter before you supply those more specific settings.

You must always specify BorderWidth as an integer, or a JavaScript expression that returns an integer. Do not use quoted strings or non-numerical characters when defining BorderWidth. BorderWidth is always interpreted by HM as pixels.

Do not confuse borders with separators. In HierMenus jargon, borders surround each menu itself, while separators are the bars between individual menu items.

Examples:

// Ok:
BorderWidth:5,
BorderWidth:0,
BorderWidth:(HM_NS4)?3:2, // 3 if NS4, 2 otherwise

// Incorrect:
BorderWidth:3.8,
BorderWidth:-3,
BorderWidth:"2",            // quotes not allowed
BorderWidth:"(HM_NS4)?3:2", // no quoted expressions

Default:

2
