Hello everybody!

Well, we just thought that you might like to know that we have added a small (but handy!)  new feature called "Automatically open last edited project when opening AllWebMenus".

What is so cool about this option is that it saves you time (not to mention brain memory space :) ) in finding and opening the last project you worked on which can sometimes be a hassle...

To use this option, go to "File -> Automatically open last edited project when opening AllWebMenus" as shown in the image below:

 

It never ceases to amaze us the use that customers give to our application and the type of menus that are built, with a dose of creativity!

As a result of a work related project, one of our customers took the initiative and created a timeline menu with various options.

As our customer, Larry Korte, stated
"A timeline is never truly finished, and that's the beauty of using AllWebMenus Pro."

Here is what he did:

"Faced with a client request for a historical timeline that needs modifying when they want to add another event and that must work on popular browsers, I started looking for an easy solution without a lot of programming and testing [...] I already use AllWebMenu Pro for the main menu on [this] website, why not add second menu that provides the timeline function?

I actually started with the main menu and renamed it. The menu is anchored to my timeline graphic (table). I laid out the horizontal high level menu with a graphic dot and text as HTML - Formatted mode. I then used HTML - full mode to layout the picture and text for the second level menu, using only one submenu item per main menu item. I even added a link on one submenu so the browser can link to additional information about a timeline event. To make the coding part easier, I developed a page with all the pictures and text, then copied and pasted the HTML code into the menu program.

The next part was to figure out what to do with the remaining time I had estimated to complete the project.

Benefits:
Very fast idea to implementation
Easy to make updates
Easy to expand
Pre-tested in multiple browsers
Pre-coded for Javascript overlays
Easy placement

- Improved support of the BASE attribute in the html of a page. (IE only)

- Added 30 new IE* submenu effects for the "Group Appears - How" and "Group Disappears - How" properties (new effects are shown in brackets):

[Barn Horizontal In], [Barn Horizontal In], Barn Horizontal Out,
[Barn Vertical In], [Barn Vertical Out], [Blinds Down], [Blinds Left], Blinds Right,
[Blinds Up], [Checker Board Down], [Checker Board Left], Checker Board Right,
[Checker Board Up], Fade, Iris - Circle In, [Iris - Circle Out], Iris - Cross In,

* The above effects are supported by IE only (the "unfolding" effect is used on other browsers instead).

- Sliding Menu Add-in: The "Remember the menu state" option is now using a "session" cookie. This makes the sliding menu return to its initial state when the user completes her session.

- Fixed an issue with items that had left or right image and did not show properly in some cases. (IE8 and Mozilla)

- Fixed an issue where the "Javascript Command" on Mouse Click did not work properly when the "Link" property also had a value. (IE only)

- Fixed an issue with the "Remember State" option on sliding menus when the menu filename contained spaces.

- Fixed an issue with menu filenames that include a space or "-" (javascript errors appeared in such a case). New versions of all Server-Side related add-ins also released that fix this issue.

- Fixed an issue with Right-to-Left pages: an unexpected scrollbar appeared.

- Fixed an issue in sliding menus: when "Remember State" was selected the "Ignore the Link value of parent items" did not work properly.

- Fixed an issue with sliding menus (IE only) where a javascript error appeared when a sliding menu folded (in some cases only).

 

- The Sliding Menu Add-in (extra license required) released with Build 766 and included in the distribution. You can now create menus with sliding submenus, otherwise known as "slide menus", "expandable menus", "collapsible menus" or "accordion menus".

- Fixed an issue with the 'awmSelectedItem' feature when the menu was of the "Menubar" type and the user resized the browser window.

- Fixed a Mozilla-related issue where a menu of the "Menubar" type could trigger a vertical scrollbar on special cases.

- Fixed a Mozilla-related issue where a background image was not appearing correctly when a "left" image also existed.
