RepositionInterval

Description:

The interval, in milliseconds, that the browser should wait before checking to see if RepositionOnScroll menus must be moved as the result of a page scroll. Only necessary for those menus that do not support the onscroll handler (primarily Netscape 4.x).

Value:

Integer, or JavaScript expression that returns an integer. Negative values are not allowed. Values of less than 50 are not recommended.

Applies To:

Globally.

Browser Compatibility:

RepositionInterval is not supported in Netscape 6.0x (which does not support RepositionOnScroll menus at all).

Comments:

You must always specify RepositionInterval as an integer, or a JavaScript expression that returns an integer. Do not use quoted strings or non-numerical characters when defining RepositionInterval.

In general, changing RepositionInterval from its default is not recommended. If you do change it, though, you should set it higher than its initial default, not lower.

Examples:

// Ok:
RepositionInterval:500, // half a second
RepositionInterval:800, // eight tenths of a second
RepositionInterval:(HM_NS4)?200:500, 
   // 200 if NS4, 500 otherwise

// Incorrect:
RepositionInterval:.5,
RepositionInterval:-300,
RepositionInterval:"200",      // quotes not allowed
RepositionInterval:"(HM_NS4)?200:500", 
   // no quoted expressions

Default:

50
