Likno Software Blog – Drop-Down Menus, Javascript Menus, DHTML Menus

Hey everybody,

We wanted to let you know that we have released new versions of AllWebMenus Pro: Version 5.3 build #850.

Check out What's New:

- Added margin support in images for the UL/LI population method also.

- Added "Menu Floats on Scroll" support for sliding menus also.

- Added support for showing the currently open group with a higher Z-index.

- Added support for showing the 'Mouse Over' state in items with sliding groups open.

- Fixed an issue where the Preview was not showing the menu, when the "Compiled menu Subfolder" was set other than the "Site Root" folder.

- Fixed an issue where the menu images did not display properly when the page CSS used a specific margin for all images.

- Fixed an issue with Server-Side API menu implementations: a JavaScript error could appear if the content of a menu item was just numeric (no text).

- Fixed an issue related to a group opening on page load. It did not position itself correctly when it was larger than the page's height.

- Fixed an IE7+ issue with compatibility mode view when PNG images were used in items.

- Fixed an IE7+ issue with items that had a small image as their only content. Their height was larger than it should (was equal to the font size applied to them).

- Fixed an issue with sliding menus when they were opening a subgroup on page load.

- Fixed an issue with sliding groups and the "Movable" feature. Now all sliding subgroups move as they should.

- Fixed an issue with items using '_blank' in their 'Link Target' property. They used to show a border when a border was specified in page CSS for 'a:img'.

- Fixed an issue where groups beyond 3rd level could close unexpectedly.

- Fixed an issue when the page CSS was using a border for the 'table'.

- Fixed an issue with 'Menubar' width, where the scrollbar's width was also taken into account even when a scrollbar did not actually exist.
