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

Hello!

We have released a new version of Likno Web Accordion Builder: Version 2.0 build #210.

Check out What's New:

- Added "Example 20 (FAQ)" which demonstrates the following concepts:

- Clean styling on pane headers: no background color or border in their CSS, *no Extra CSS*.
- *Show All/Hide All* links used in page.
- *Indicator* set used in headers (the plus/minus icons).
- The panes show/hide by clicking the *Indicator image only*, not on the entire Header (optional).
- *Independent panes* used in Accordion Behavior (any number of panes can be open at any time).

- Fixed an issue with floating accordions in IE7.

- Changed behavior when using the "Panes Show/Hide only when clicking on the Indicator image" feature: The indicator no longer shows a "Mouse Over" state when the mouse is over the rest of the Header (not on the indicator).

- Fixed the “Auto” size for “External" pages to take a height of 300px.

- Fixed an issue in IE where having an accordion without a container could cause a Javascript error.

- Fixed a CSS conflict in WordPress where some themes affected the accordion headers.

Hello!

We have released new version of AllWebMenus Pro: Version 5.3 build #884.

Check out What's New:

- New "CSS Menu" Genre option. Contrary to the "Javascript menu", the "CSS menu" implementation is designed so that:

• it is Section 508, WCAG, WAI, DDA compliant (accessible menus required by certain governmental agencies in US, UK, Australia),
• it uses "lighter" code, due to the less features it supports (lack of submenu opening/closing effects etc.),
• it is still functional when the javascript is disabled on the browser (degrades gracefully and still functions as a menu).

The above advantages come with a cost: some features and options of the feature-rich "Javascript menu" implementation cannot be supported by CSS. These differences are documented at the related AllWebMenus Help Topic on "Menu Genre", or here in PDF:

http://www.likno.com/downldd/AllWebMenus_Manual.pdf#page=48

- Fixed an issue for iPad related browsers where the "Menu Floats on Scroll" feature was not working properly.

- Fixed an issue with the application freezing when a certain configuration existed.

- Fixed an issue where a border appeared in focused items (Chrome, Safari & IE9 only).

- Fixed a Chrome issue for all "Server-Side" related menus, where the menu images did not load correctly after a back or forward of the page.

Hello!

We have released new versions of AllWebMenus Pro: Version 5.3 build #878 and #876.

Check out What's New:

- Added support for positioning the menu using a custom "class" attribute instead if the "id" attribute. This can be useful when your authoring tool or CMS does not allow you to edit the "ID" attribute (or the "ID" values change dynamically) but does allow you to add/edit the "Class" attribute.
For example: <span class="menupositioner">&nbsp;</span>

- The "Custom Values" interface is no longer available when the UL/LI population option is selected, because the menu items are dynamically produced by "LI" page elements and the script cannot determine which menu items should get custom values. Therefore, only the generic "Assigned Style" can be used on menu items or groups.

- Fixed an issue with vertical "Menu Floats on Scroll" on iPad and Android.

- Fixed a (Mozilla only) issue where the item image was not properly aligned vertically.

- Fixed an issue in the Preview Pane when the positioning was on the right side and the border was large.

- Updated the "AllWebMenus Add-In" for Expression Web 4.

- Improved the positioning of the application forms when dual monitors are used.

- Fixed an issue where a group didn't appear on "mouse over" of parent item, if this item was auto highlighted but without opening the group automatically on page load.

- Fixed an issue where a group which was triggered manually didn't work as expected and produced javascript errors.

- Fixed an issue with double slash "//".

- Fixed an issue with UL/LI when using the "onclick" event with "this.href".

- Fixed an issue where separators did not work in a cross frame environment.

- Improved (full) Android support (efficient "touch mode" handling and more).

- Improved (full) Blackberry OS 6 and OS 7 support.

- Updated "Joomla menus" Add-in. Now fully supports Joomla 1.7, corrects the “JParameter” fatal error and fixes the menu item ordering issue.
