Data type

->GIFBUILDER

+ Additional properties! See table below

Description

This is the GIFBUILDER-options for each category of menu item that can be generated.

Note: For the GMENU series you can also define the RollOver configuration for the item states. This means that you define the GIFBUILDER object for the 'Active' state by ACT and the RollOver GIFBUILDER object for the 'Active' state by ACTRO.

This pattern goes for ALL the states except the SPC state.

Special:

The ->OptionSplit function is run on the whole GIFBUILDER- configuration before the items are generated.
