Hamburger (Bootstrap)

Description

Hamburger is a context dropdown, usually placed in the top right corner of a form. It usually contains commands and option settings for the user. Its name come from its appearance - a top and a bottom with a filling in the middle. It is virtually identical to the Dropdown (Bootstrap) control - it works the same way, but has different defaults.

When the control is created, selection is set to undefined.

Two onclick events happen when a Hamburger is clicked. When the control is initially clicked, an event is sent. When the user makes a selection, onclick is called again with the text of the selection.

To put a Hamburger on the left, set style to float:left; and align:left;

Popovers and Tooltips are supported.

When running on FireFox or IE, sometimes the Hamburger will disappear after being tapped. Add this to your onclick handler to bring it back:

setTimeout("Hamburger1.style.display = 'block'", 100)

Events

Standard events are supported. For this control, the onclick event will be most useful.

Example (Basic)

Ignore the event when the Hamburger is first clicked, and handle the event when a selection is made.

Function Hamburger1_onclick(s)
    If typeof(s) == "object" Then return

    If s ="Sign Out" Then
        Hamburger1.hide();
        butSignIn.show();
    ElseIf s = "Change Password" Then
        ' todo
    ElseIf s = "Change Email" Then
        ' todo
    ElseIf s = "Delete Account" Then
        ' todo
    End If
End Function

Example (JavaScript)

Ignore the event when the Hamburger is first clicked, and handle the event when a selection is made.

Hamburger1.onclick = function(s) {
    if (typeof(s) == "object") {
        return;
    }
    if (s === "Sign Out") {
        Hamburger1.hide();
        butSignIn.show();
    }
    if (s === "Change Password") {
        // todo
    }
    if (s === "Change Email") {
        // todo
    }
    if (s === "Delete Account") {
        // todo
    }
};
