April 6, 2009
AllWebMenus Pro version 5.1 Build #772 released
- New Sliding Menu Add-in version (v1.0.3): Added support for also opening sliding submenus on "mouse over" of parent item (not only on "mouse click").
- Sliding Menu Add-in: Added an option to ignore the <Link> property of parent items of sliding submenus when clicking on them so that the submenus open instead of loading a page. However, if you wish you may achieve both effects by unchecking this option while having the "Remember the menu state" option checked.

- Sliding Menu Add-in: Fixed an issue where a sliding submenu did not reposition itself when the user resized the browser window.

- Fixed a Mozilla-related issue where a menu of the "Menubar" type could trigger a vertical scrollbar on special cases.
