Hi,

I've tried all I'm knowing about CSS positioning, but don't achieve!

Could you give me "the" tip to horizontally align the menu in my HTML page?

Thanks a lot!

Reply From: Likno Customer Support

Hello,

Generally in CSS, the way to position an element to the center is usually margin:0 auto;

In AllWebMenus you can set your desired position of the menu in the application's settings. (See screenshot below)

Click on "Menu Positioning" and then choose the appropriate position settings depending on your needs.

center menu relative to element

If you need more assistance, please send me your menu project and an index page you would like to have it (your url does not work).

This is what you should do to export your project into a ZIP file and then email this ZIP to us.

export menu project

Thank you!

How do I center the menu on the web page?

Hello,

If your website is always centered you could use this option:

menu position relative to window

OR:

menu position relative to element

OR:

menu position relative to image

You have plenty of options to choose from, the "Window" being the easiest one.

Support Case Month: September 2012

I am having several problems with a current menu creation.

1. Menu positioning is supposed to show center on the web site so I set it up to Top Side Center for both the "Element Anchor" and the "Menu Anchor". I am currently using it as a Relative to an Element positioning. I tried setting it to Top Side Center for "Element Anchor" and Center for "Menu Anchor" and vice versa and Center for both to no avail.

2. The Sub Groups Style (Our Products) is supposed to show with rounded corners all 4 sides. It displays properly in Chrome & Safari but not in IE9 and Firefox.

3. The Sub Groups Style is also supposed to have a background image showing in the top right hand corner of each menu using the "Has Header" feature.

All of these show properly inside the AllWebMenus Preview but not online. Thank you in advance for any help!

Hello,

1) This happens because the width of your <span> is very small and it is left-aligned into the parent <div>. See the screenshot where I highlighted it:

wrong menu position

To fix this problem, in the Element Positioning you should use the ID of the <div> instead:

menu positioned relative to an element

2) I believe that this is due to using server-side menus. I will need to forward this to our developers for further consideration.

3) Same as (2).

Can you please export and send me your menu project so that I can forward it to our developers for further testing?

Hello again,

I just got a reply from our developers and it seems that there is no problem at all in our libraries!

It seems that you simply have old library files online… Can you please recompile your menu and make sure that you also upload the new library files?

Hi Kostas,

The library files we had uploaded were correct from our current build but then we noticed that we weren’t on the current version so we downloaded version 5.3.898 and rebuilt the menu and uploaded all files.  This update fixed the menu to show the Sub Group Style (Our Products) with rounded corners on all 4 sides in all the necessary browsers (IE9, Firefox, Chrome & Safari)!  However, it is still not showing

the Sub Group Styles background image that should be showing in the top right hand corner of each menu using the "Has Header" feature.

Can you please take another look and let me know why this isn’t showing online but it’s showing in the AllWebMenus Preview?  I have also attached the updated menu in an exported .zip file again.

Thanks,

Angela

Dear Angela,

Are you sure you still see the problem? Did you delete your “cache files”? I am asking because I visited your page again and I now see it working for both Firefox and IE:

Hello Kostas
could you take a look at this site {URL REMOVED}
You will see that the image is on the left. So how would I set up the menu location if I wanted it not underneath that image but underneath the image but in the middle of the page?

Hello Phil,
if you want a "centered" menu on the page, just use the "Windows Relative" positioning option and choose CENTER-CENTER in both Anchors. Then adjust the Y offset so that it goes to proper height on page and keep the X offset to zero.
I hope this is what you want to achieve.

Hello

See {URL REMOVED}

We have set the Google Chrome settings in the Browser Specific Offsets but we cannot align the menu correctly in Chrome.

Menu position correct in IE and Firefox, but not aligned correct on left side in Chrome.

We have the latest version registered for {URL REMOVED}

Regards
Christo

Hello Christo,

We looked at your website's CSS and found that you have the following entry in the "style.css" file:

#AWMEL0{

            left:225px!important ;top: 124px!important;

}

How did that get there? Did you put it there manually?

Please *remove* this entry from there and then get rid of the "Browser Specific Offsets", you do not need them.
