"Call-ins" Menu that triggers actions

The seven functions discussed in the last page were defined by you in the web page for the BEE Portal to "callback".  On the other hand, there are some functions that the BEE Portal provides which you can "call in":

Call-ins Arguments and Description
buildMenuItemsAtLevel (level)
Call to build the menu items at the specified level
do_MenuItem (address)
Call to activate the menu item specified by address
(same as clicking on the menu)
do_DirectItem (address)
Call to activate the menu item specified by address
after opening all its "ancestor" menus
(mainly used to link to another page of which the menu yet to open, while do_MenuItem opens an item even if its parent is not yet opened)

It is recommended to "wrap" the do_DirecItem in a user defined function in your web page, e.g. "goItem(address)", for the convenience of the application.  For example, if your site got animation effect on the menu and also allows pages to link to each other by calling goItem(address), you may want to disable the animation effect before goItem calling do_DirectItem and re-enable the effect afterwards, to avoid the animation distracting the user when jumping from page to page.
