FontStyle

Description:

The style (italic, normal, oblique) for text that appears in menu items.

Value:

String, "", or JavaScript expression that returns a string/"".

Applies To:

Menu Items.

Browser Compatibility:

FontStyle is supported in all browsers, though not all browsers may recognize all possible CSS values (especially Netscape 4.x).

Comments:

FontStyle should be applied as a string, which means the value you supply should always be in quotes. Allowed values for FontStyle are the same as those allowed in the standard CSS font-style property (see the W3C Specs) and in fact, the value you supply is transferred as is to the JavaScript fontStyle property for each menu item.

Examples:

// Ok:
FontStyle:"italic",
FontStyle:"normal",
FontStyle:"",                  // use style sheet default
FontStyle:(window.emIt)?"italic":"normal", 
      // If the user defined var "emIt" is set, use italic

// Incorrect:
FontStyle:"underline",  // must be valid style identifier
FontStyle:italic,       // quotes required
FontStyle:'(HM_IE)?"normal":"italic"', // no quoted expressions

Default:

"normal"
