Initial Email Subject: Menu not working in IE8 or IE9
Support Case Month: April 2013

I have used the DHTML menus on several websites and this one I am having trouble with it not appearing in IE8 and IE9.  I checked the knowledge base and made sure that this menu was compiled with the most recent version.  

Can you assist me further with what is wrong in the menu?  It does work on all other browsers I have tested, including IE10 (very odd as IE10 never plays nicely!)

Thank you!
Lorrie

Dear Lorrie,

It seems that the problem is caused by a single line in your CSS!

.topnavarea {
              height:50px;
              background: #FFF;
              vertical-align:middle;
            }

This “height: 50px” affects the .topnavarea and causes the menu to move to the right. It is not invisible, it is just moved off-page creating a horizontal scrollbar.

Please try correcting this to fix the problem.

Best Regards,
Kostas

Initial Email Subject: menu show on top of modal windows in IE 10
Support Case Month: April 2013

Dear reader,

after the last update of Likno Modal Windows, the Likno Menu stays on top of all objects also the LWMW-layer. Setting z-index of the menu to -1 did solve it for Firefox, Chrome but not for Internet Explorer 10

What to do?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Kind regards,
RuuRd

Dear RuuRd,

Where did you set the z-index to -1? I checked your site and I see that the menu is set to z-index: 1000.

The same is true for the modal window. Please change the modal window z-index to 1010 or the menu  z-index to 990 in order to fix this problem.

Thank you Kostas,

I forgot that this value is (or can be) set in the IDE of AllWebMenus, so I did set the other value somewhere else in my code (later executed).

Kind regards,

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.

Support Case Month: March 2013

In IE10 i see that in any of the menus where the menus/items have transparent backgrounds – the transparency is gone and the background shows as a default grey color.

The horizontal length of some of the menus becomes longer in IE10 and is correct in IE9

Any advice would be appreciated Kostas…

Thanks,
Pesi

Dear Pesi,

Regarding “{HOME PAGE URL}”, indeed the menu becomes a bit wider, but this is because of the way IE10+ renders fonts (the so called “cleartype”) which is wider than usual for specific fonts.

Regarding the transparency issue, I have checked our database and noticed that there was a fix for something similar in build 902. I have extended your Update Plan up to mid-January so that you will be able to get this version and see if it resolves any remaining issues. Please download this from your User Area account (and get a new Activation Code to pass the new license info).

Initial Email Subject: IE10 compatibility mode switched on

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.
