Hello John,

First, thank you for your interest in our products.

The menu in the page you showed us is a Mega Drop Down Menu.

We have AllWebMenus Pro , a powerful application that lets you create any type of JavaScript/CSS menus easily. You can have a Full HTML code for the menu items.

AllWebMenus Pro gives you the ability to have Full HTML menu items, so you can have individual background images or any content you would like.

Note, that creating a Mega Menu requires you to have some basic knowledge of HTML.

Please, take a look at this page http://www.likno.com/examples.html  go to example Mega Drop Down I and Mega Drop Down II of you can download AllWebMenus Pro http://www.likno.com/download.html and open the Mega Drop Down Menu example so you can see how this is created.

Let me know if you need any more clarification.

Thank you!

Hello,

First I want to thank your help on the Mega Drop Down menu of the page in reference. However I haven't finished yet...

1. The About Us Item should have a different width than the other two, but when I do so the webpage and the preview image of the application show me the right width once and then it drops a lighter shadow to match the width of the other two menu items Go Dive and Go Pro (right now is set with the same width than the other two)

2. As you know/notice I'm working with a joomla platform and this site is going to be bilingual, thus I'm using joomfish.... usually I do have problems translating menu because I use Dynamic menu type, but this one I'm using is Static... So in order to add the AW Menu to joomfish I need an .xml file of the component... can you help me? Thanks in advance.

Hello again,

1) If you send me the menu I can check what’s wrong and tell you how to fix it.

2) I am afraid that this is not possible. If you are using a static menu, then you need to simply have a separate menu for each language. You can then use the menu component to specify in which pages each menu should appear.

Do I currently own the AllWebMenus products I need to build menus such as – www.GoDaddy.com ??

What do I need ? License for more than one web site ? Etc.

I look forward to your reply.

Cheers,
Donald

Hello Donald,

May I assume that you refer to this menu?

If yes, then your current AllWebMenus license is capable of doing so. This is an advanced type of menu, you need to be an advanced user of AllWebMenus but you can do it with its features.

I also advise you to see the following example in AllWebMenus:

FYI, if you happen to have problems with creating the design of that menu, we also have a service for creating menus, at around $150 per menu design (minimum, it depends on the design).

I have been using your software and have worked many hours to build my own MEGA DROP DOWN menu.  I have gotten it to appear fine in IE9, but I am having trouble with the submenus in GOOGLE CHROME and FIREFOX.  Sometimes the drop down menus do not show the white background so that the text in those menus shows up easily...if I reload the page after it loads the first time, it does show properly.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

Hello,

Just before the submenu opens for the first time it tries to calculate the width/height it should take.

The HTML you entered has a lot of images without specified width/height, so when it opens it becomes a given size that fits the text. Then the images load and push the text down, but the submenu cannot re-adjust itself.

If you view the page again, then the images are already cached and hence appear instantly and can be properly measured.

There are two solutions for this:

1) Specify the width/height for each image.

2) Specify the width/height of the <table> container of each submenu.
