Generator

The iNavigate Generator provides you with a comprehensive set of features to enable you to create powerful and dynamic menus. iNavigate features include:

  • Drag and Drop Menu Creation
    With iNavigate you simply drag and drop html (and asp, etc) files directly to the iNavigate Generator, easily creating your menu structure.

  • Complete Menu Configuration
    Creating menus with iNavigate is easy. You can set up everything in the Generator, from frames to non-frames mode, through to the most advanced features.

  • Automatic Menu Generation
    The iNavigate generator frees you from the tedium of constructing menus by hand and replicating them across all your files. It brings an end to cut-and-paste errors, or forgetting to replicate the latest structure in one of your files.

  • Configurable XSLT Based Generation [Professional]
    You're in complete control with iNavigate. Everything that gets generated is under your absolute control, you can get under-the-hood with the XSLT files to change fragments of html, javascript, etc to be exactly how you want them.

  • Site Map Generation [Professional]
    iNavigate can generate a complete Site map for you, you can choose from classic style with boxes and lines, a lite style or define your own via XSLT customization.

  • Re-Framing Code & <NOFRAMES> Links [Professional]
    Generation of 're-framing' code to ensure search engine compatibility. Search engines typically link visitors to an 'orphaned' page outside the intended frame structure, resulting in a less-than-ideal experience for your visitor. The re-framing code causes the orphaned page to be re-loaded automatically inside the appropriate frame structure.

    Generation of <noframes> section, containing a flattened-out version of the entire menu structure in vanilla html, to support frames-challenged search engines.

  • Right to Left Language Support
    iNavigate provides support for Right to Left (R2L) languages and browsers. R2L versions of the graphics and style folders are included with iNavigate.

  • Breadcrumb Navigation
    The Breadcrumb Trail to the current page is automatically generated by iNavigate, for example:

    Welcome > What's New?

    The Breadcrumb Separator can be simple text or any HTML fragment for image separators. Breadcrumb generation supports both Left to Right and Right to Left languages. Breadcrumb elements may be generated as either text or links (taken directly from the menu tree hierarchy elements).

  • PreserveState
    PreserveState specifies if menu states (open/closed) should be preserved when loading a new page.

  • AutoClose Menus
    AutoClose Menus provides support for automatically closing all menus other than the most recently opened menu.

  • AutoClose Current Menu
    AutoClose Current Menu provides support for automatically closing the current menu when another menu item is opened.

  • ConvertLink Property
    Provides support for the current menu item to be displayed as a link or converted to text.

  • Target attribute support for Menu Items
    The generator supports setting the html link target attribute. This allows the standard named values to be set, including '_blank' which creates a new browser window for the page.

  • XML Support
    The iNavigate generator saves and loads your menu structure in industry-standard XML format. This means you can create menu structures from external sources, such as a database.

  • ActiveX Automation [Professional Gold]
    The iNavigate.dll allows you to generate menus from code, allowing for close integration with your systems and processes. Combined with the ability to generate iNavigate XML files from code, this means you can generate menus automatically from a database or other data source.

  • External Editor Integration
    iNavigate can work side-by-side with your favorite editor or generator, so you can work with menu structures and content at the same time.

  • Command Line parameter support [Professional]
    /ini - specifies alternate ini file to be used in place of the standard iNavigate.ini
    /xml - specifies xml file to be automatically opened
