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

Hello,

We have released a new version of Likno Web Modal Windows Builder: Build #238

Check out What's New:

- Added the ability to open a modal window on Mouse Out of Page, i.e. when the user drags the mouse outside the page from its top side (does not apply to the three other sides). This happens only once while the page remains open, unless the page is refreshed.

- Improved the support for rounded corners in browsers that do not properly support it (Opera, Chrome, Safari).

- Fixed a specific case where the code "parent.likno_modal_window.close()" did not work.

Important! Since Build #822, the activation process has been changed to better support non-admin cases. Therefore, when you install Build #822 (or above) over Build #820 (or below) you need to retrieve a new Activation Code from your User Area. It is important to clarify that this action does NOT reduce the remaining Activation Codes of your existing license.

Hey everybody!

We are exited to inform you that we have released the latest version of AllWebMenus PRO version 5.2 Build #800

Here is a view of What's New!

- Added a new option to the "Show Item or Group on Appear" feature: If the selected (highlighted) item is inside a submenu group, do you want this group to also appear selected and open (or not)?

- Added "Browser-specific Offsets" for Chrome in the "Positioning" property.

- Added the "Unlimited Domains" License option to the Server-Side Menus API.

- Added the "Show Item or Group on Appear" feature to the Server-Side Menus API.

- Added support for the "Opacity" property in the Opera browser.

- Fixed an issue where the "Opacity" property was not applied properly when the Chrome or Safari browser was used.

- Added an additional check to the application to check if the user has administrator rights when trying to activate the product (administrator rights are required for the activation process).

- Enhanced the positioning behavior of a submenu that is set to "open on menu appear" and is currently outside the viewable page. When scrolling the page the submenu will show open at its specified position relative to its parent item.

- Fixed an issue where the "Automatic item selection (highlight)" feature was not working properly for links beginning with "/".

- Fixed an issue of the FrontPage Add-in where the message "Can't find web folder" appeared.

When you position a DHTML  menu built by AllWebMenus Pro relative to an element (usually in a <td> element), you might observe a small difference in the menu's placement. It might be some pixels further away than it is in IE6,7 or Firefox (e.g. usually it is in a lower position in IE8, Chrome or Safari, than it is in IE7, Firefox etc). This is caused due to the different way IE8, Chrome and Safari render the content of a table’s cell (<td> element).

IE8, Chrome and Safari vertically align the content of a table's cell in its center, whereas all the other browsers align it on the top and that's the reason you observe a difference in the placement of the DHTML menu in your page. To overcome this issue, you just have to add the attribute valign="top" in the element you have positioned the menu and you will get the required functionality.

For example if you want to  place your menu in a <td> element instead of the following:

<td id="awmAnchor-menu">&nbsp;</td>

you have to use the following:

<td id="awmAnchor-menu"valign="top">&nbsp;</td>

As you might already know, Google has released its new browser under the name “Chrome”.

Keeping our promise to you in maintaining our software’s cross-browser functionality at its best, version 5.1.748 (or above) of our AllWebMenus Web Menu Maker includes fixes that deal with many of the issues initially existed with the Google’s new “Chrome” browser.

Please download the latest version from www.likno.com/download.html (or from your Likno User Area account), install it, recompile your menus and upload to your server the updated menu file AND the –also updated- awmdata folder that contains the libraries – and includes the fix.

We are continuously testing the AllWebMenus application with all updates of Chrome.
