=item javascript_for_client_on_load()

Returns a string to be used as a <body> tag's onLoad event handler. It calls the
function which initializes the menu. The function itself is included in
the code returned by javascript_for_db().

Output it as part of the <body> tag. See examples/test-clientdb.cgi for an
example.

Calling this method is optional. If you do not call it, then calling the method
javascript_for_client_init() is mandatory.

=item new(%arg)

The constructor.

See the previous section for details of the parameters.

=item param($id)

Returns an array of database fields corresponding to the menu value chosen.

Call this to convert the value returned to the CGI script when the user
selected a menu item, into the database fields which appeared in the second
column of the table.

In other words, convert the first column of the SQL into the values of all the
columns corresponding to that first column.

=item size()

Return the number of rows returned by your SQL.

Call this after calling 'table'.

It will tell you whether or not your menu is empty.

=item table()

Return the HTML for the table.

=head1 Sample Code

See examples/test-clientdb.cgi for a complete program.

You will need to run examples/bootstrap-menus.pl to load the 'test'
database, 'campus' and 'unit' tables, with sample data.

You'll have to patch these 2 programs vis-a-vis the db vendor, username
and password.

The sample data in bootstrap-menus.pl is simple, but is used by several
modules, so don't be too keen on changing it :-).
