*** version 2.2.0 ***
Added the following features:
-----------------------------
* Added two new methods to YAHOO.widget.Menu:
* "getItems" - Returns a flat array of the items in a menu.
* "clearContent" - Removes all of the content from the menu, including the
menu items, group titles, header and footer.
* Added three new configuration attributes to YAHOO.widget.Menu:
* "submenuhidedelay" - Number indicating the time (in milliseconds) that
should expire before a submenu is hidden when the user mouses out of a
menu item heading in the direction of a submenu. The value must be
greater than or equal to the value specified for the "showdelay"
configuration property.
* "maxheight" - Defines the maximum height (in pixels) for a menu before
the contents of the body are scrolled.
* "classname" - CSS class to be applied to the menu's root
element.
The specified class(es) are appended in addition to the default class as
specified by the menu's CSS_CLASS_NAME constant.
* Added new constants to YAHOO.widget.MenuItem:
* COLLAPSED_SUBMENU_INDICATOR_TEXT - String representing the text for the
element used for the submenu arrow indicator.
* EXPANDED_SUBMENU_INDICATOR_TEXT - String representing the text for the
submenu arrow indicator element () when the submenu is visible.
* DISABLED_SUBMENU_INDICATOR_ALT_TEXT - String representing the text for
the submenu arrow indicator element () when the menu item is disabled.
* CHECKED_TEXT - String representing the text to be used for the checked
indicator element ().
* DISABLED_CHECKED_TEXT - String representing the text to be used for the
checked indicator element () when the menu item is disabled.
* Added two new configuration attributes to YAHOO.widget.MenuItem:
* "onclick" - Object literal representing the code to be executed when the
button is clicked. Format:
{
fn: Function, // The handler to call when the event fires.
obj: Object, // An object to pass back to the handler.
scope: Object // The object to use for the scope of the handler.
}
* "classname" - CSS class to be applied to the menu item's root
element. The specified class(es) are appended in addition to the default
class as specified by the menu item's CSS_CLASS_NAME constant.
* Added an "id" property to YAHOO.widget.MenuItem that represents the id of
the menu item's root node. Although not a configuration attribute, this
property should be set via the object literal of configuration attributes
passed as the second argument to the constructor. If no value is
specified, then one will be generated using the "generateId" method of the
Dom utility (YAHOO.widget.Dom).
* Added a "trigger context menu event"
(YAHOO.widget.ContextMenu.triggerContextMenuEvent) that fires when the DOM
"contextmenu" event ("mousedown" for Opera) is fired by one of the elemeents
defined as a YAHOO.widget.ContextMenu instance's trigger.
* Added a "cancel" method to YAHOO.widget.ContextMenu that can be used to
cancel the display of a YAHOO.widget.ContextMen instance. This method
should be called within the scope of a "context menu" event handler for
one of the context menu's triggers
(YAHOO.widget.ContextMenu.triggerContextMenuEvent).
Fixed the following bugs:
-------------------------
* Users can now move diagonally from a menu item to its corresponding submenu
without the submenu hiding immediately.
* "destroy" method of YAHOO.widget.Menu now unsubscribes from the "text resize"
event (YAHOO.widget.Module.textResizeEvent).
* Browser progress bar no longer flashes when hovering over checked menu items
or menu items with submenus.
* Menu item submenu indicator image no longer jumps to the next line in
quirks mode.
* Mouse events no longer fire in Firefox if a YAHOO.widget.Menu instance is
moved by script into a stationary mouse pointer.
* Modified "toString" method of YAHOO.widget.ContextMenuItem to return the
correct class name, as it was reporting as YAHOO.widget.MenuBarItem.
Changes:
--------
* Default value for the "showdelay" configuration attribute is now 250
* Modified code so that all Menu images are added via CSS background images.
As a result, the following constants and properties have been deprecated:

* No changes
*** version 0.12.1 ***
Fixed the following bugs:
-------------------------

a zero-second timeout to resolve a race condition between menu positioning
and focusing of a menu item that resulted in the browser viewport
scrolling unnecessarily.
* Switched to JSMin for JavaScript compression to resolve issues with the
minified version.
* Disabled menu item instances will no longer display a submenu if the item is
clicked or moused over.
* Can no longer select more than one item in a menu if using the keyboard and

*** version 0.10.0 ***
* Initial release
* Known issues:

the display of the browser's default context menu. These extensions
can cause the YUI ContextMenu to stop working. If you encounter this
problem, you can reset the context menu preference in Firefox back to
the default by making sure the "Disable or replace context menus"
preference is checked:
Mac Firefox 1.0:
-------------------
Preferences > Web Features >
Advanced... > Disable or replace context menus
Mac Firefox 1.5
-------------------
Preferences > Context >
Advanced... > Disable or replace context menus
Windows Firefox 1.0
-------------------
Tools > Options > Web Features >
Advanced... > Disable or replace context menus
Windows Firefox 1.5
-------------------
Tools > Options > Context >
Advanced... > Disable or replace context menus
*** version 0.11.3 ***
Added the following features:
-----------------------------
* Added a "target" configuration property to the MenuModuleItem object that
allows the user to specify the target of an item's anchor element. Items
that make use of the "target" configuration property will require the user
to click exactly on the item's anchor element to navigate to the specified
URL.
* Items without a "url" property set will automatically hide their parent
menu instance(s) when clicked.
Fixed the following bugs:
-------------------------
* Items in a submenu should now navigate to their specified URL when clicked.
* Removed MenuBar's use of "overflow:hidden." This fixes an issue in Firefox
1.5 in which submenus of a Menubar instance cannot overlay other absolutely
positioned elements on the page.
* Submenus of a Menubar instance will now automatically have their iframe shim
enabled in IE<7.
* Statically positioned Menubar and Menu instances will now render with the
correct position and dimensions in Safari.
* MenuModuleItem's "focus" method now checks to make sure that an item's
"display" style property is not "none" before trying to set focus to its
anchor element.
* A ContextMenu instance will now hide all other ContextMenu instances before
displaying itself.
* Removed the dead space in front of an item's submenu indicator image in IE.
This space was causing an item's submenu to flicker when the user hovered
over it.
Changes:
--------
* Moved the DOM event handlers for every menu from the root DIV node of each
instance to the document object. This change reduces the number of DOM event
handlers used by Menu to eight, improving the cleanup time required by the
Event utility.
*** version 0.11.0 ***
Added the following features:
-----------------------------
* Overloaded the "addItem" and "insertItem" methods of MenuModule to accept a
string or a MenuModuleItem instance

subclass will no longer affect other subclasses

longer trigger a JavaScript error when clicked

MenuModuleItem class so that it is set to a secure/non-secure path when the
object is instantiated
* Menu instances now resize in response to changes to the browser's font size
* Modified the propagation of the MenuModule class's "submenualignment"
configuration property so that it only applies to instances of the same type

MenuItem instance's submenu indicator image to prevent it from wrapping in IE
* Specified a width and height for submenu indicator images in the Menu
stylesheet to ensure that Menu instances are always rendered at the correct
width
* Clicking a MenuItem instance will no longer trigger two HTTP GET requests
* Users can now control or shift-click on MenuItem links

--------
* In the Menu stylesheet (menu.css), switched from using "first" class to
"first-of-type" class
