All worked fine and I can see the menu in various browsers but when I open Dreamweaver to work on files the menu is not being displayed.  What can I do to see it in dreamweaver?

Hello,

The menu will be visible in the “live preview” of Dreamweaver. Unfortunately the standard preview does not support complex JavaScript components, so it cannot show the menu.

Support Case Month: February 2013

I am building a new site for the local Petroleum Museum using AllWeb Menus Pro 5.3.

Home page is : http://www.crspromotest.com/PetMuseumNew/index.html  (no links to other pages yet).

Menus look fine in Dreamweaver, but when I load them up to the test site (above), the images I have assigned to the menu items do not show up, though they are in the images file on the site.  (2 of the items don’t have images yet…”Museum”, and “Home”).  Somehow I don’t seem to have the images linked properly to the menu when on the site.  They are a .png file…does that make a difference??

Any ideas??  Sure would appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Ron

Dear Ron,

Where did you upload the images?

I checked online but I did not find them where they should be. For example:

http://www.crspromotest.com/PetMuseumNew/awmdata/menutop/donate.png

or for the other menu:

http://www.crspromotest.com/PetMuseumNew/awmdata/menu/contact.png

Kostas…

I appreciate your help.

Initial Email Subject: Server side api vs dreamweaver recordset
Support Case Month: March 2013

I just seem to be able to get the Server Side api running with Dreamweaver cs5.5. I get the menu on screen, but under "Onderafdelingen" I am trying to get results from a recordset and I can't get/understand how to do this. I read the help files but didn't understand half of it. Also examples didn't really work for me. Please, help.

Hello,

I am afraid that the original API was not designed for responsive versions.

It is still possible to use it for responsive menus, but in this case you will have to add your extra items to the structure of each one of the responsive versions.

For example, if you want to add a submenu to “Onderafdelingen” and then add an extra item, first you need to know the ID of “Onderafdelingen”:

For example:

In your case, the “Onderafdelingen” item has id=”awm_I18”. The responsive version IDs will have an extra “rmX” like so:

awm_I18
awm_rm2I18
awm_rm3I18
awm_rm4I18

So then the code you need is:

subMenu = awm_I18.newGroup('style=sub_group_style')
subItem = subMenu.newItem('style=sub_item_style;text0=My New Item;url=myUrl.html');
subMenu = awm_rm2I18.newGroup('style=sub_group_style')
subItem = subMenu.newItem('style=sub_item_style;text0=My New Item;url=myUrl.html');
subMenu = awm_rm3I18.newGroup('style=sub_group_style')
subItem = subMenu.newItem('style=sub_item_style;text0=My New Item;url=myUrl.html');
subMenu = awm_rm4I18.newGroup('style=sub_group_style')
subItem = subMenu.newItem('style=sub_item_style;text0=My New Item;url=myUrl.html');

Initial Email Subject: Menu does not appear on preview pages
Support Case Month: February 2013

I use SiteSpinner Pro to build my webpages. I cannot get my menu to show up on my project pages in preview mode. Of course this should show me what my published page will look like.

If I "publish to disk" and compile to that page, then open the local page with "HTML Kit" everything looks fine, the menu is placed and operational. If I try to open the preview pages in the editor I get a script error popup that says "The value of the property 'awmBuildMenu' is null or undefined, not a function object."
If I try to compile to the preview page nothing happens.

What suggestions do you have to allow me to see a finished page before I move it to my website?

Thanks

Hello,

I am afraid that the preview of SiteSpinner (as well as that of most web builders) does not support complex JavaScript components.

In Dreamweaver or Expression Web there is an option of “live preview” (or “SuperPreview” or something like that in EW) which does fully support JavaScript. I do not know if SiteSpinner has a similar option, but if it does, then the menu should work there.

Initial Email Subject: my allweb menu quit working today. It works off line out of Dreamweaver
Support Case Month: December 2012

my allweb menu quit working today. It was fine last night. I have not changed or touched the allweb menu in months. It works off line out of Dreamweaver in the 3 browsers, but not on the server. I tested both ways in Firefox, Chrome and IE.

If you could look at my index page and let me know if you see anything.

Feeling very helpless,
Thanks, Sue

Dear Sue,

I checked your site and noticed two things:

First of all that the online library files are from build 894 while your compiled menu file is from build 898.

Secondly and most importantly, it seems that the library files of AllWebMenus have been corrupted and some extra script has been added at the end of each file! We have seen this happening a couple of times in the past and it probably means that your online server is infected by some virus. I recommend that you re-upload the local menu library files (“awmdata” folder) and that you also notify your host about this.
