VariableWidthMinimum

Description:

The minimum width, in pixels, of variable width menus.

Value:

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

Applies To:

Menu Items.

Browser Compatibility:

VariableWidthMinimum is supported in all browsers.

Comments:

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

VariableWidthMinimum applies only to variable width menus and sets the smallest possible width for a menu item. When a menu is variable width (IsVariableWidth is set to true), MenuWidth becomes the maximum width of the menu item. Variable width menu items will not exceed the width specified in MenuWidth even if VariableWidthMinimum is larger than MenuWidth.

Examples:

// Ok:
VariableWidthMinimum:100,
VariableWidthMinimum:600,
VariableWidthMinimum:(HM_IE)?300:400,  
     // 300 in IE, 400 all others

// Incorrect:
VariableWidthMinimum:"100",
VariableWidthMinimum:150px,
VariableWidthMinimum:"(HM_IE)?300:400", 
     // Do not quote expressions here

Default:

0
