autoScrolling . When this is set to true, Joust will attempt to ensure that, when the user expands or collapses a menu, the menu and all its children are still visible after the menu has redrawn.
On browsers that do not support Dynamic HTML, the menu is redrawn by reloading the menu frame. This has the effect of re-setting the scroll bar at the top. When autoscrolling is set to true, Joust attempts to scroll down to the menu that was selected. For most browsers, this will scroll so that the selected item at the top of the menu frame.
On browsers that do support Dynamic HTML, the menu is redrawn directly - without needing to reload it. This means the the scroll position of the menu does not change. If autoScrolling is set to true, the browser will scroll the menu enough to make sure all the child entries of the selected item are displayed (if required).
linkOnExpand . If a Folder entry has a linked document and linkOnExpand is set to true, then clicking on the expand/collapse image will cause the linked document to be loaded as if the user had clicked on the link as well (the Dynamic Menu entry is an example of this).
modalFolders . Setting modalFolders to true means that only one folder can be open at any particular moment (unless it's a sub-folder in which case its Parents will remain open). When a user opens a folder, any folders already open will be closed. We prefer to leave this turned off because the Macintosh and Windows outlines we are emulating do not do this. On the other hand, it does help to keep the menu tidy and uncluttered.
savePage . When true, Joust will attempt to remember the page that the user is looking at when switching modes and restore that page in the new mode. It does this by adding the page to the new URL after a "?page=". Some web servers (CompuServe homepages, for example) have a problem with this. Setting savePage to false will turn off this feature allowing the "modes" to work with these servers.
selectParents .
When true, all parents of a selected entry will be drawn as selected (selected images must have been defined for the entries). The default is false.
showAllAsLinks .
When true, all menu entries are drawn as links, even if they don't have a link associated with them. This may be confusing to a user because it will look like they should be able to click on an entry to go somewhere when, in fact, it will do nothing. Turning this on does allow Joust to display a status message for an entry without a link. Note: This does not work on IE 3 because IE 3 does not allow you to have a link to nothing.

tipText . This option allows you to specify the TITLE text used for the document image (used by some browsers to display ToolTip text). This is a string attribute that can take 3 values:
text when tipText = "text", Joust will
put the entryText value of the addEntry/addChild command into the TITLE attribute.
status when tipText = "status", Joust will
put the statusText value of the addEntry/addChild command into the TITLE attribute.
none when tipText = "none", Joust will
leave the TITLE attribute blank.
toggleOnLink . When true, clicking on any part of an expandable entry will cause it to be toggled as if the expand collapse image had been clicked. Note: This will only work if the entry has a URL associated with it. If the entry doesn't have a URL, you should use showAllAsLinks to force Joust to draw it as a link anyway.
