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.

My client's website that uses menus created from AllWebMenus v 5.3 are not working in Internet Explorer as a rule and attempts on an iPad don't seem to work no matter what browser is tried.

I did notice that the software says V53. Build 884 and in my test folder one of the awmdata files says build 818 in it.

Any issues with iPads showing your menus?

Reply From: Likno Customer Support

Hello,

Build 884 does support all the latest browsers and mobile phones. However, build 818 is much older and indeed does not support IE9+ or Safari 5.

Moreover, if you have your menu (“menu.js”) compiled with one version and the libraries (“awmdata” folder) with another, this can cause conflicts.

My recommendation is that you Compile your menu(s) with the latest AllWebMenus version and make sure that you upload both the menu and library files.

Hello Kim,

The problem is that although you compiled your menu with a pretty recent version, the online library files (“awmdata” folder) are still from very old version (Jan ’10):

Please make sure that you also upload the “awmdata” folder when you compiled your menu in order to resolve the problem.

I built the menu for our website {URL REMOVED} about two years ago and have made several updates.  Yesterday, I installed Internet Explorer 10 on my PC and now the menu will not work.Do I need a different type of menu?

Reply From: Likno Customer Support

Hello,

It seems that although you are compiling your menu with the latest version each time, you neglected to upload the “awmdata” folder which contains the library files.

This means that your online library files are from a very old version(mid-2010) which does not support IE10.

Please remember to upload the “awmdata” folder each time you compile with a newer version to avoid similar issues.

Initial Email Subject: MENUS ON INDEX PAGE DON'T SHOW UP ANYMORE
Support Case Month: March 2013

Hi,

I hope you can help.  Yesterday my menu on the index/home page of our website stopped being visible.  it is visible on all other pages.  This is using Internet Explorer  with various Windows Versions. 
I have been told you can see it using Firefox and Chrome and with Windows 8 and Internet IE 10.
Are you aware of any updates that Windows did in the last few days that would have affected your menus? 
I have reuploaded and replace the files, but if you look at the code, the files are fine and in my design software it is fine. 
I'm stumped and don't know what to do.  Can you check it out for me.

Thanks,
Pam

Dear Pam,

I did some tests and I was finally able to see the problem in IE7 in XP (but only there – all other versions of IE worked fine).

I noticed three things that may cause this issue:

1) You have two menus linked into this page, one of which is not used at all (its files do not exist online). Please remove the unused code as it can be causing issues:

2) The Linking Code is within other page elements and at the bottom of the page. It is best to always have the Linking Code at the top of the page, exactly after the <body> tag.

3) Your menu is compiled with an older version. Recompiling with a newer version may also fix the problem. Make sure that you upload both the “menu.js” and the “awmdata” folder.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

I got rid of the duplicate menu entry and that fixed the problem. 

Strange that it wasn't a problem before this week, as I didn't change anything, but there were a number of windows updates, so perhaps that affected the page in the root directory.
