Support Case Month: April 2013

We are seeing issues with all our menus on the new IE 10.

We have searched knowledge base and all we can find on the problem is to use a minimum width. Which this did correct the issue where the menu was not even showing.

But what we are seeing now is that in compatibility mode the menu is fine then in standard mode the links stack.

other browsers work fine

Thanks for any suggestions

Hello,

I noticed that while you are using the latest AllWebMenus version, you neglected to update the online library files:

Please upload the newly compiled “awmdata” folder to fix the problem.

I am using Frontage 2002 (10.6308.6870) on windows 7. I am running 5.3 Build #904.

I can import the Frontpage navigation structure but when I try to generate the menu Allwebmenus stops working.

Dear Geoff,

This means that AllWebMenus does not have enough access rights to do what you are asking. This can be caused if you have set the FrontPage to run in “Compatibility Mode” in windows 7, as this also gives it administrator rights.

I believe the easiest way to correct this issue, is to run AllWebMenus “as Administrator”. To do this permanently, you need to right-click on the desktop shortcut, select Properties, then the “Compatibility” tab, then check the “Run this program as an administrator” option. Note that this will only work when you start AllWebMenus from the desktop icon. It will not work if you start AllWebMenus by double-clicking a project file.

Initial Email Subject: IE10 compatibility mode switched on
Support Case Month: March 2013

The menus (dutch, english or german) show only in IE10 with compatibility mode switched  on !! Not without.

Any solution??

Reply From: Likno Customer Support

Hello,

It appears that the menu on your website was compiled with an *old* version of AllWebMenus (see “release history” here: http://www.likno.com/whatsnew.html ).

You need to update/upgrade your AllWebMenus and re-compile/re-upload your menu files, as the *old* compiled menu cannot support the latest browsers and standards. Some browser versions did not even exist by that time.

How?

- Login to your Likno User Area at http://www.likno.com/userarea

- Click the "View/Manage Licenses and Plans":

- See there if your Update Plan has expired or not.

            If "expired" then click the "Renew" link and renew your Update Plan.

- Download the current Version (Build) ( http://www.likno.com/download.html ) and install it.

- In your Likno User Area, click the "Get Activation Code" link and get a new Activation Code for this updated installation:

- Open your old project file (.awm) in AllWebMenus, re-compile it and then upload the new menu files (along with the "awmdata" folder) to your website.

Note that you may need to delete your browser’s Temporary Internet Files (or cache files) before refreshing the page in order to see the menu.

Also, you are using a lot of "browser-specific offsets" in your project, which are not really needed.

Thanks!

Thanks for your answer.

I did what you suggested, I updated/upgraded the AllWebMenus and re-compiled/re-uploaded the menu files.

It is now Version 908.

Still the same problem in IE10

Hello, did you clear your cache? (hit CTRL-F5)

Because I do see the menu in IE10 now.

Support Case Month: March 2013

I have just installed Internet Explorer 10. Now the menus on my web site are distorted. Horizontal menu s are one word wide with multiple words on new lines; vertical menus are the same. Also, inserted horizontal lines are double in width.The problems go away when I toggle the Compatible View icon so that it's set for older browsers, but I don't want visitors to have to do this.What can I do to set AllWebMenus so that visitors will see the that are correct for the Compatible View to which they have set their pages when they open a new page?

Reply From: Likno Customer Support

Hello,

This happens because you do not have a valid DOCTYPE in your pages. You should know that IE10 is pretty strict regarding this. When the DOCTYPE is missing, IE falls in the so called “quirks mode” which is essentially IE5.5 Compatibility Mode. This causes the problems you see in the menu.

To fix this problem (and more), please add the following line at the top of each of your pages:

<!DOCTYPE html>

Initial Email From: Michael
Initial Email Subject: Separator not consistently showing
Support Case Month: February 2013

Need help with the separator not showing consistently in IE9. Site is {URL REMOVED}  There should be a separator between each menu item however in IE9 running compatibility mode the first 4 menu items do not show a separator between them however the separator shows for the remainder of the items. In Firefox 18.0.2 and Chrome (can’t find version but I just updated it to current) the menu and separators appear as they should.

And if IE9 isn’t in compatibility mode then the menu doesn’t show at all.

Suggestions?

BTW, I plan on upgrading to the current version of AWM in the next week or two. In the meantime I have to use build #830 which I know as msome limitations

Thanks for the help

Michael

Dear Michael,

The menu does not appear in IE9 exactly because the AllWebMenus version you are using is very old.

However, I tried to view the problem with the separator, and everything looked fine in my IE9 in Compatibility mode. Is it possible that you are also seeing things in a zoom state? If so, then it is not uncommon for IE9 to create rounding errors and miss-out on 1px lines. (This is not really related to our menu though, but to the bad IE9 zooming.)
