September 13th, 2007
AllWebMenus Pro version 4.2 Build #664 released
Note: Since v3.1.520 all DTD-related problems are solved; if your menus are compiled with Build #518 and earlier, you need to recompile your menus when using the DTD declaration on your web pages. Relinking is not necessary, unless you want to take advantage of the new capability of placing the menu-linking code at the top of the page, right after the <BODY> tag (since Build #524). This will cause your menus to appear faster on page. If you decide to re-link older menus on top of your pages (prior to Build #524), please make sure that you also recompile those menus with this new AllWebMenus version.

* IE fix: On April 2003, Microsoft has issued a Cumulative patch for IE6 (813489) that changed the way that some elements are positioned on IE, resulting in incorrect positioning of existing menus. Our previous Build #504, solved that problem by positioning the menus at the top-left corner of the table cell where the menu-positioning code was inserted. If you wanted to place the menu somewhere else inside the table cell you had to use "IE offsets". With this build, "IE offsets" are not necessary anymore, as the menu will be positioned at the exact position where the menu-positioning code is inserted.
If you were using "IE offsets" before, you can now get rid of them. Then re-compile and re-upload your menus in order to restore your menu positioning.
