AllWebMenus Pro provides support with Dreamweaver software. You can find the free available Dreamweaver extension and the appropriate information about how to install it and integrate your Deamweaver software with your AllWebMenus Pro application in the following link of Likno site: http://www.likno.com/wat_dreamweaver.html

Let's assume that this extension is already installed (as described in the link I provided above) in version CS3 of Dreamweaver. What does one have to do in order to install it also in version CS4 of Dreamweaver?

For each Dreamweaver version, you have to use the appropriate extension manager; for Dreamweaver CS4 you need to use Extension Manager CS4, while for Dreamweaver CS3 you need to use Extension Manager CS3.

Since each version recognizes their own CS products, Dreamweaver CS4 should be available only in Extension Manager CS4. Use the built-in install function in the Extension Manager CS4 and open the mxp file (this file exists in the free extension) to install it for Dreamweaver CS4. This will not affect the current CS3 integration.

We are happy to announce that we have released AllWebMenus version 5.1 build #778.

- Fixed an issue with the vertical alignment of "Background Image 2" (Mozilla and Opera).

- Fixed an issue in IE for Windows only, where a javascript error appeared when the user clicked on a menu item that used a particular page link format.

- Fixed an issue where a sliding menu did not appear properly when certain settings where applied (Mozilla).

In rare cases your AllWebMenus menu might be some pixels away for a specific browser. Thus you need to apply to this menu the appropriate x,y offset values for this browser only. In other words you need to apply in your menu browser specific offsets.

To do that you just have to click on the "Menu Positioning" button. In the window that will appear you must click on the "Click for Browser-specific offsets" button and define properly the offsets for the specific browser (see the image below).

Finally, recompile your menu and re-upload the appropriate files if you have it (i.e. the menu) online.

AllWebMenus Pro has the "Link Target" property. This property specifies the frame, iframe or window where the page specified by the "Link" property (of the menu item) opens. The image below shows the various options of the "Link Target" property.

If you choose option "_blank" the page specified by the "Link" property of the menu item will open in an new browser window. You can define the properties of the opening window selecting the option "use parameters". Then you have to click on the "use parameters" option and a window like the image below will appear and will allow you to customize the browser window.

If you have a menu built by AllWebMenus Pro that you need to unlink from your pages due to some issues related with the Linking Code instance (e.g. the src attribute of the Linking Code which indicates the path of the menu's JavaScript file is incorrect) you have to do the following:

1. Open your menu's project using your AllWebMenus Pro application.
2. Start a normal link procedure clicking on the "Link Menu" button (see Image1 below).
3. Choose the pages from which you want to unlink your menu, hold the Control button (ctrl) and click the "Link" button. When you hold the Control button, the "Link" button will change to "Unlink" button (see Image2 below).

This is the easiest, fastest and recommended way to remove a Lininking Code instance from your page(s); removing the Linking Code instance from your page, you unlink your menu Afterwards, you are able to re-link your menu.
