Menu Files

The left hand side menus on College of Education web pages is derived from menu.html files in each folder.  If a folder does not have a menu.html file in it, the menu is inherited from the folder above it..

The following screenshot is a menu.html file as edited in Contribute.  It uses nested repeating elements to produce a nested set of HTML UL elements.  It is transformed by xslt into the javascript menu.  To change the behavior of our menus in the future, we simply need to modify the XSLT to generate different html stucture and apply different javascript to it; the menu files themselves will not need to be changed.
