<!--END SOURCE CODE FOR EXAMPLE =============================== -->
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
By including the <a href="/yui/menu/">Menu family of controls</a>, it is
possible to create menu buttons that mimic the behavior of HTML
<code>&#60;select&#62;</code> elements.
</p>
<h2>Basic Setup</h2>
<p>
Menu buttons can either replace existing <code>&#60;select&#62;</code> elements
or can be created completely from script.
</p>
<h3>Using Existing Markup</h3>
<p>
To replace an existing <code>&#60;select&#62;</code> element with a menu button,
simply set the Button's <code>menu</code> attribute to the id of the
<code>&#60;select&#62;</code> element using an object literal passed to the
Button's constructor. In this example, the following snippets of HTML and
JavaScript are used to transform the first <code>&#60;select&#62;</code> element
into a menu button.
</p>
<textarea name="code" class="HTML" cols="60" rows="1">
<select id="select-1" name="select-1">
<option value="select-1-1" selected>Option 1</option>
<option value="select-1-2">Option 2</option>
<option value="select-1-3">Option 3</option>
</select>
</textarea>
<textarea name="code" class="JScript" cols="60" rows="1">
var oMenuButton1 = new Button({
id: "menubutton-1",
name: "menubutton-1",
label: "<em class=\"yui-button-label\">Option 1</em>",
type: "menu",
menu: "select-1",
container: "select-1-container"
});
</textarea>
<h3>Without Existing Markup</h3>
<p>
To create a menu button without existing markup, simply set the <code>menu</code>
configuration property to an array of
<a href="../../docs/YAHOO.widget.MenuItem.html#configList">MenuItem configuration
properties</a>, as illustrated by the code used to create the third menu
button in this example:
</p>
<textarea name="code" class="JScript" cols="60" rows="1">
var aMenuButton3MenuData = [
{ text: "Option 1", value: "menubutton-3-1" },
{ text: "Option 2", value: "menubutton-3-2" },
{ text: "Option 3", value: "menubutton-3-3" }
];
var oMenuButton3 = new Button({
id: "menubutton-3",
name: "menubutton-3",
label: "<em class=\"yui-button-label\">Option 1</em>",
type: "menu",
menu: aMenuButton3MenuData,
container: "menubutton-3-container" });
</textarea>
<h2><code>&#60;select&#62;</code> Behavior &#38; Style Customizations</h2>
<p>
To mimic the behavior of an HTML <code>&#60;select&#62;</code> element, the
label of the Button needs to reflect the currently selected MenuItem in the
Button's Menu. To update the Button's <code>label</code> attribute when the
user clicks on a MenuItem, simply register a listener for the Button's
<code>selectedMenuItemChange</code> event that sets the value of the
Button's <code>label</code> attribute to the value of the <code>text</code>
configuration property of the selected MenuItem instance. The following
example illustrates how a <code>selectedMenuItemChange</code> event listener
is added to the first Button in this example.
</p>
<textarea name="code" class="JScript" cols="60" rows="1">
// "selectedMenuItemChange" event handler for a Button that will set
// the Button's "label" attribute to the value of the "text"
// configuration property of the MenuItem that was clicked.
var onSelectedMenuItemChange = function (event) {
var oMenuItem = event.newValue;
this.set("label", ("<em class=\"yui-button-label\">" +
oMenuItem.cfg.getProperty("text") + "</em>"));
};
// Register a "selectedMenuItemChange" event handler that will sync the
// Button's "label" attribute to the MenuItem that was clicked.
oMenuButton1.on("selectedMenuItemChange", onSelectedMenuItemChange);
</textarea>
<p>
It is also necessary to customize the style of the menu button, to indicate
the currently selected item in each Button's menu. When the value of the
Button's <code>selectedMenuItem</code> attribute changes, Button adds a class
named "yui-button-selectedmenuitem" to the <code>&#60;li&#62;</code> element of
the currently selected MenuItem. This class can be used to provide a custom
style to the currently selected MenuItem in a Button's Menu. In this example,
a Button's currently selected MenuItem is rendered with a check mark to the
left of its text label.
</p>
<p>
In addition to styling a Button's selected MenuItem, the label of each Button
in this example is set to a fixed width. This is is accomplished by wrapping
the text label of each Button in an <code>&#60;em&#62;</code> tag and setting
the <code>&#60;em&#62;</code>'s <code>width</code> property to <code>5em</code>,
and the <code>overflow</code> property to <code>hidden</code>.
</p>
<textarea name="code" class="CSS" cols="60" rows="1">
.yui-menu-button em.yui-button-label {
font-style: normal;
display: block;
text-align: left;
white-space: nowrap;
/* Restrict the width of the label to 5em. */
width: 5em;
/* Hide the overflow if the text label exceeds 5em in width. */
overflow: hidden;
/*
IE, Safari and Opera support the ability to add ellipsis when the text
label exceeds 10em in width.
*/
text-overflow: ellipsis;
-o-text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
li.yui-button-selectedmenuitem {
background: url(../button/assets/checkbox.png) left center no-repeat;
}
</textarea>
<h2>Creating Menu Buttons With A Default Value</h2>
<p>
In HTML, it is possible to specify a default value for a
<code>&#60;select&#62;</code> element by applying the <code>selected</code>
attribute to one of the <code>&#60;select&#62;</code>'s
<code>&#60;option&#62;</code> elements. If a menu button is replacing an
existing <code>&#60;select&#62;</code> element, the default value will
automatically be interpreted from the <code>&#60;select&#62;</code>'s
<code>&#60;option&#62;</code> elements.
</p>
<p>
If a default value is desired for a menu button built completely from script,
it is necessary to specify the default value by setting the
<code>selectedMenuItem</code> attribute. The following code illustrates how
a default value was specified for the the fourth Button in this example.
</p>
<textarea name="code" class="JScript" cols="60" rows="1">
var aMenuButton4MenuData = [
{ text: "Option 1", value: "menubutton-4-1" },
{ text: "Option 2", value: "menubutton-4-2" },
{ text: "Option 3", value: "menubutton-4-3" }
];
var oMenuButton4 = new Button({
id: "menubutton-4",
name: "menubutton-4",
label: "<em class=\"yui-button-label\">Option 1</em>",
type: "menu",
lazyloadmenu: false,
menu: aMenuButton4MenuData,
container: "menubutton-4-container" });
var oMenuButton4Menu = oMenuButton4.getMenu();
// "render" event handler for a Button's Menu - responsible for setting
// the default value for the Button's "selectedMenuItem" attribute.
var onMenuRender = function (type, args, button) {
button.set("selectedMenuItem", this.getItem(0));
};
// If a Button's "selectedMenuItem" attribute is set, the selected
// MenuItem's name and value will be part of the form's data set
// when its parent form is submitted. For Buttons with Menus built
// entirely from script, the "selectedMenuItem" property is not set by
// default. To set the "selectedMenuItem" to a default value, simply
// register a "render" event handler for the Button's Menu that sets
// the Button's "selectedMenuItem" attribute to the desired item in
// the Menu.
oMenuButton4Menu.subscribe("render", onMenuRender, oMenuButton4);
</textarea>
<p>
For performance, a Button's Menu is lazy loaded by default &#151; the MenuItems
are initialized and the Menu's HTML is rendered to the page the first time the
Button is clicked. If the user <em>never</em> clicks on the Button, its Menu
will never be rendered, meaning the <code>render</code> event handler used to
set the default value of the <code>selectedMenuItem</code> attribute will never
be called. In such cases it is necessary to add a <code>submit</code> event
handler to the Button's parent form that will render the Menu if the Button's
<code>selectedMenuItem</code> attribute is not set. The following code
illustrates how a <code>submit</code> event handler is added to the parent
form of the third button in this example.
</p>
<textarea name="code" class="JScript" cols="60" rows="1">
// "render" event handler for a Button's Menu - responsible for setting
// the default value for the Button's "selectedMenuItem" attribute.

};

oMenuItem.cfg.getProperty("text") + "</em>"));
};

// rendering a Menu that was to be lazy loaded, but never clicked on,
// and therefore never rendered.
var onFormSubmit = function (event, button) {
var oMenuItem = button.get("selectedMenuItem"),
UA = YAHOO.env.ua,
oEvent,
oMenu;
if (!oMenuItem) {
// Pause submission of the form until the Button's Menu

oMenu.addItems(oMenu.itemData);
oMenu.subscribe("render", function () {

}
}, this, true);
oMenu.render(oMenu.cfg.getProperty("container"));
}
};

{ text: "Option 1", value: "menubutton-3-1" },

// entirely from script, the "selectedMenuItem" property is not
// set by default. To set the "selectedMenuItem" to a default
// value, simply register a "render" event handler for the Button's
// Menu that sets the Button's "selectedMenuItem" attribute to the
// desired item in the Menu.
oMenu.subscribe("render", onMenuRender, this);
// The items in a Button's Menu are lazy loaded by default: loaded
// when the Button is initially clicked. If the user never clicks
// on the Button, its Menu will never be rendered, meaning the
// "render" event handler registered above will never be called,
// and the default value for the Button's "selectMenuItem"
// attribute will never be set. Therefore, add a "submit" event
// handler to the Button's parent form that will render the Menu
// if the Button's "selectedMenuItem" attribute is not set.
