Support Case Month: February 2013
I have recently been trying to convert my menu CSS but it doesn't seem to be working. Which files should be at my server in order for it to operate?
Is there a way for the menu to recognize that it is viewed by a mobile phone (iphone) (lots of traffic from safari) and then automatically be increased to the size of the screen when it is touched?

Dear Leslie,
Regarding the CSS menu, you need to upload the compiled files and make sure that you also Link the menu again to your pages, as the Linking Code of the CSS is different than that of the JS.
The produced files are “menu.js”, “menu.css” and “awmdata” folder. (of course the names may differ depending on your menu’s “compiled name”)
Regarding resizing for iPhone, we recommend that you create a Responsive menu so that you can change its appearance according to the device screen.

I am using server side includes to bring the menu to my various pages and it has worked so far with javascript but it doesn't load with the linking for css. The linking for css doesn't seem as complete as the linking for JavaScript.

Hello,
The Linking Code for CSS is indeed smaller. This is not a problem.
However I see something else that could be the problem. It seems that you named your menu “2”. It is recommended that the compiled menu name always starts with a letter, following the programming variable conventions. Please change your compiled menu name for example to “menu2” and see if this fixed the problem. If not, please send me a URL to check your pages.
