Re: Webstyle and IE8 problem
Hi Paul,
I use IE8 and a Webstyle dropdown works on my system.
Vista Ultimate, 4GB RAM, Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
Try the test page I just put up
http://btaylor.50megs.com/ws-dd/index.htm
The two button navbar was made using Webstyle 4. The navbar was put into a Xara Web Designer web page using a placeholder object and the script line from the Webstyle exported .htm page when saving the navbar.

Hi Bill,
Thanks for that, but some of my menu works ok in IE8 but not the 3rd item and the last one (called 'essentials'). The submenu disappears intermittently when you try and access it.
Here is the link (broken as i don't want the search engines to link to it)
If you could just move your mouse over the 'essentials' tab and then try to access the submenu and then the subs menus, you should see my problem

Thanks for taking the time to put the test item up.

Re: Webstyle and IE8 problem
Hi Paul,
Yes the cascading sub-items from the Essential button is a bit hit'n'miss, though if I don't move the cursor so fast it works form me in IE8.
I do see a problem with the 'Card Font Options' almost totally covering the highlighted 'Hover over the ?'s for help" in IE8 and partially covered in all other browsers.

Chrome is fast becoming a very popular Windows browser as is Safari (especially on the Mac), unfortunately your WS menus are totally broken in those two browsers, being misplaced entirely.
Webstyle has been retired since the release of Xara Web Designer, so It's unlikey that Xara will add support for newer browsers to old retired software..

Re: Webstyle and IE8 problem
The 'hover' problem is just a css tweak, but i had not checked the site (or the webstyle menu) with safari or chrome. :-(
Luckily, that page is the only one with that menu on as a tester, the rest have got a css/javascript menu that seems to work ok in all the browsers ( i must install chrome.)
The reason why i am trying to install a pure javascript horizontal menu is so i don't double up on the menu links. I like the left hand menus on the pages and i also like top one for top menu lovers, but i don't want the search engines to see it! I was going to put a simple ul list to the main pages in a <noscript> for browsers without Javascript enabled.
I know it sounds long winded, but i think i am going to have to accept that the top menu is just going to be a non javascript, one level (cards, gifts, essentials) and no sub menus and just have the product links on the side.
But it would have been good if i could have done this :-)
Thanks for your time and pointing out the safari and chrome issue ( i have ie 6, 7 and 8, opera and firefox, kinda forgot safari and didn't realise Chrome was getting that popular. Lesson learned.
Thanks again
Paul
Re: Webstyle and IE8 problem
I have customers calling me too. My menus don't work with IE8. I submitted a trouble ticket, but haven't gotten a reply yet. I can't tell my users to use a specific browsers. Has anyone figured out how to make this work in IE8?
Re: Webstyle and IE8 problem
I would suggest running IE8 in the IE7 compatibility mode.
For this you have to add following string to your page <head> section:
Code:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7"/>
Re: Webstyle and IE8 problem
