Be able to use tabulation with Menu

[JMB]

aXes 3.11

We have a customer who wants to use tabulations on their menus.
He has used Link extensions to replace all menu options.
And after that he has defined in USERENV.js a list and a function to retrieve the value and the Option description.

Apparently that works.

He can move in the menu and do Enter to open the option of the menu.

The customer wanted to know if you think that a better, simpler solution exist?

Thanks for comments and advices

HI JM,

Can you give us some more information and the example in the userenv?
I find it difficult to see what is happening.

Hi Jean-Michel,
I have asked to the customer more informations.

But I'm afraid that I couldn't get more. This a customer who wants always more explanations and advices. But he doesn't never find time to provide supplementary informations.

Hi Jean-Michel,

the instructions used by the customer:

On the OnArrive Event :

var i = 0;
var num_opt = 0;
var nbr_elt_tab = USERENV.TabOpt_Popup.length - 2;

$("a").focus(function()
{

if(i<=nbr_elt_tab)
{
i ++;
}
else
{
i = 1;
}

num_opt = USERENV.TabOpt_Popup;
FIELDS("a1").setValue(num_opt);

});


Within USERENV.js :

TabOpt_Popup : [],

TabNumOpt_Popup: function(string) {
if (USERENV.TabOpt_Popup[0] == null) {
USERENV.TabOpt_Popup[0] = "0";
}

//var temp_array = [];
if (string.length > 0) {
//temp_array = string.split(". ");
//string = temp_array[1].trim();
//USERENV.TabOpt_Popup.push(temp_array[0]);

num_opt = string.substr(0, 1);

string = string.substr(2).trim();
USERENV.TabOpt_Popup.push(num_opt);

}

return string;
},

In the Caption of element :

USERENV.TabNumOpt_Popup(FIELD.getValue());


On the OnLeave Event :

USERENV.TabOpt_Popup = [];
