Hi,
My company has an intranet, and the person who created the site (no longer working here) used Xara menu maker for our intranet. Now, the menu works fine in IE, but won't even show up in firefox.
The rest of the site was made using dreamweaver, and I have the latest version of menu maker.
I try and upload the page, but I'll have to check with my boss first, just incase
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris
Hello Chris, welcome to the forums.
I am also using Firefox and I have no problems with seeing the menues. Maybe you could provide a link to your site at the least?
unfortunatley I can't as it's our company's intranet. Like I say, i'll check with my boss and upload it.Quote:

Ohh yes now I can see it... clearly. Your problem is pretty simple really.
It's just that you DON'T HAVE any menues there :D You only have the javascript file that refers to the menues, which do not exist. I couldn't see it with iexplorer firefox or whatever. Look a THIS thread I have posted a menu for the tutorial, there are some video tutorials as well. I have no idea about you saying you can view the menu in Internet Explorer since it's clearly seen you have items missing in the site's header. Besidesm the javascript is compatible with all browsers so it is odd you have this problem in FireFox.
I think I may have missed this:
Chris, your menu works perfectly fine for me. I don't know what seems to be the problem.
This is a comparison between IE and Firefox:
Ok wait for me to upload just the menu on my server and see if it works for you, if it does then the problem is not in the menu.
Just a thought: If you use Intranet, then you use it only at work, right? Why do you use Firefox then? I mean if it's only intranet you shouldn't care about firefox.
Very true, but it's just people here use the internet and intranet. I would like them to have firefox for the internet, but they wouldn't know to change browsers for separate uses, so they would use firefox as the default.Quote:

http://www.videoxone.com/Menu/PlainRound.html
The only explanation I might have is that you are running a linux server, and that is case sensitive, which means the code is refering to the same link but with different uppercase/lowercase. For example: If you type:
http://www.videoxone.com/menu/PlainRound.html you will get a 404 error (lower case "m"). I am not sure this is true, either that or something else is messed up.
Again: menumaker is not the problem here it uses plain javascript which is all browsers compatible.
EDIT: Download I-explorer 7 it has a firefox-like settings so it won't make any problems.
My opinion: Solve the problem the most effecient way not the hardest way. There is no "correct" approach, there is a working and not working approach. Your company's website does not sell stuff, so it does not have to attract clients. It would be easier and more cost effective to just type "compatible with internet explorer only" than to waste time (which is money) and find the problem. Installing Internet explorer 7 will solve the problem along with reteining the firefox experience (using tabs). I think it is more effective - does not require any changes and saves you/the project engineer the headache.
Ok mate, thanks alot for all your help! I'll try and sort it, if not, then like you say, just use IE7.Quote:
