Hello Aggelos,

See the attached zip for my exported project file.

I have created it as a CSS menu. Am using the suggested UL/LI structure in my web page. 

The menu structure works fine in the linked web page. But when I add a image to the “Home Place” menu item in AllWebMenus PRO, it does not do anything with it ... nothing appears in any code ? 

Regards, Dave

Hello David,

In order to have the Home icon appear, you need to manually add it as it is a CSS version of the menu.

So, your structure will look like this;

You need to add in

 <li><img src="your image path" /><a href="default.html">Home Place</a></li>

Let me know if you need more information.

Thank you!

Kind Regards,

We are having to run IE10 in compatibility mode to see our drop down menu tree icons and access child level trees.  I have the latest product. Any suggestions?

Hmmm… it seems there was an extra problem as IE10 has dropped support for image filters.

The (yet another) new online distro should be fully working now.

Please let me know if everything works as expected with this release.

Kostas,

Works perfectly!  I can’t thank you enough for being so responsive – I know multi browser and multi version coding is a royal pain. (That’s one of your products many good qualities).

Thank you again for a timely fix,

Robert

Initial Email Subject: Button Maker - Cant save Files
Support Case Month: March 2013

I just installed the Button Maker program. After I made a button, saved it, then when I go back to that file to open it, it wont let me?

It asks me what program should open my button file? and, the button maker is not in the list to open it. Why is this?

I cant seem to save my different master files and or projects?

Please let me know.

Thanks!

Robert

Hello,

The screenshot is not very clear, but it seems that after you saved the file you removed the “.wbm” extension. This caused windows to not recognize this file.

Still, your work is not lost! All you need to do to fix this, is to rename the file and add “.wbm” at the end.

Note that you can also open these files in Button Maker without renaming them, but you have to do it from the application using “File->Open”.

If the files have the “.wbm” extension and they still do not work with double-clicking, then I strongly recommend that you install the application again.

Hi Kostas,

The extension of ".wbm" was on the saved files. After I sent you an email, I went to the file, right clicked on it, and choose to open with button maker. It opened the file. I took your advise and uninstalled the program, and reinstalled it. The files open, but they have a different looking icon, its not the full icon as it in the start menu or desk top?

Thanks!

Hello Aris,

Thank you for your reply.

Thanks,

Here you can read about an interesting Use Case of a very powerful feature of Likno Web Tooltips Builder, that is actually utilized on our own website (as of May 2012).

If you visit any page of our Likno.com website (http://www.likno.com for example), you will notice that a Likno tooltip appears when placing the mouse over any image (icon) of the "See Also" section (at the top part of the page):

The interesting part here is that each image (icon) shows the same tooltip but with different content; this content is automatically retrieved from the image's "ALT" attribute.

This means that you can dynamically change the content of a tooltip by just using a different value on the "alt" attribute (in this case) OR any other custom attribute of yours.

This capability is explained in detail here: LWTT: "In Page" feature – How to open the *same tooltip with different content*, retrieved from the page’s HTML (on-the-fly)

HOW THIS IS IMPLEMENTED ON OUR WEBSITE

If you view the source code of the likno page, you will see the following code for the 1st icon ("img") of that section:

After the code screenshot above, you see the interface screenshot of the related Likno Web Tooltips Builder project, which uses the following values:

1. The "In Page" option as the Source of the tooltip's content. This means that the content of each tooltip will be retrieved from the page, dynamically.

2. The "Retrieve the content from the "title" (or "alt") attribute of page elements" option. This means that our script parses the entire page and qualifies all elements that use a "title" or "alt" attribute as potential tooltip "triggers", with their "title" or "alt" attribute values being the content of the tooltip that they will trigger.

3. The "SOME of the page elements that use the above attribute" value at the Opens When ("Trigger") property. This means that we do NOT want ALL the images of the page that use the "alt" attribute (or any page element that uses the "title" attribute) to show a tooltip. Instead we want to restrict this behavior only to those elements that ALSO use the Class="acc_hd" value in their tags.

So, if you mouse over any other image on the same web page (that uses the "alt" attribute) you will see that this tooltip does not appear for them.

For example, no tooltip appears when mousing over the top-left image (the "liknosoftware" logo):

Why?

Because while it does have an "alt" attribute (first matching criterion) in its tag, it does NOT have the Class="acc_hd" value (second matching criterion):

You realize that you can use this feature with many combinations, which makes it rather powerful.
