Hi support,

Is it possible to access " likno web modal windows builder 2.1.232" from within the Dreamweaver  interface.

Similar to the way AllWebMenus can be accessed from within Dreamweaver.

If yes, please advise process.

Thank you

Der Billy,

I am afraid that this is not possible. However it is not required either. It is very easy to manually add a Modal to your Dreamweaver pages.

All you have to do is to create your modal project and Compile it, then Link selecting the html (or template) file you want (make sure that this is not open in Dreamweaver when you do this). Finally in Dreamweaver you need to add the “trigger code” to the element that you want to trigger the modal (except of course if you set it to open on page load).

Give it a try and let me know if you need more specific help.

Hi,

I’m thinking of buying your menu building software.

Can your software build a horizontal menu like the one on this website http://www.navigata.ca ? I also need the vertical menu from that site as well but it might be tricky because when you use the horizontal menu and select an item it goes to a page which also displays the vertical menu on the left but the menu on the left already has the position selected where you are on that page which is great but think it might be hard to do. How would the menu on the left know to already highlight/choose where you are when you didn’t select it from that left menu – you selected it from the top horizontal menu?

Can this be done with your software and what extra “add ons” would I have to buy to make this work?

Thanks,
Daryl

Hello Daryl,

First, thank you for your interest in our Likno products.

This is supported in AllWebMenus without too much effort. All you have to do is to use this AllWebMenus feature in the vertical menu:

Then, the vertical menu will have the item that matches the URL of the loaded page as "Selected", no matter which link (or menu item) made this page load!

Initial Email Subject: Submenu open on PAGE load
Support Case Month: May 2012

Hi ... 

I am trying to have the first submenu "only" appear with the main menu upon page load.  Cannot find a setting that will allow me to do this.  Need it to look like this site http://www.cosgrovecomputer.com/ upon page load (without the little box before each item.)  
You sent me instructions before that said to make the submenu open on page load but can only find that option for the main menu. 

Your help, as always, is most appreciated.

Hello Margie,

I am not sure what instruction we gave you before (I assume the one I also tell you below), but you CAN have any submenu show as open through this option (just choose the appropriate ID of the 1^st submenu, as indicated by the arrow in my screenshot).

Initial Email Subject: Jumping effect when the page loaded
Support Case Month: November 2012

Hi

We are now using the AllWebMenus Ver.5.3 build #898 to rebuild our Web menu to comply with WCAG, the menu is now by use of CSS, but we found that the menu cause "jumping effect" when the page first load (appear at the bottom left corner first then jump back to correct position). I tried in different browsers with different version, all have the same results, please kindly advise how to fix this problem (sample page: http://www.hkie.org.hk/eng/testmenu.asp), thank you.

Best regards,
Kim

Dear Kim,

I just got a reply from our developers. The easiest way to get rid of this problem is to move the UL outside the screen in the first place.

To do this, please change this:

<ul id="awmULLI-menu_e" style="display:none;">

Into this:

<ul id="awmULLI-menu_e" style="display:none; top: -9999px;">
