Yes, it's definitely not working correctly. Lots of 404 NOT FOUND errors.
Somehow your nav buttons are not being exported to the index_htm_files folder.
See screen grab.
I suggest you clear out your root directory & republish. If this doesn't work attach your web/xar file so we can understand whats going on here.
Hi Egg many thanks for looking in to this for me i have just viewed https://www.airforceoneheating.co.uk/ and the same nav bar is behaving the same way? i will try your suggestion and report back many thanks
i tried to upload the .xar file but it won't let me how do i attach the .xar file?
Condor
The web/xar file is 25MB it wont let me upload? perhaps a zip file? i will tryQuote:

click reply to thread - click the insert image button on the bar - click from computer tab on popup dialog - click browse, find your file and click open - click upload
there is a max size of 10MB for XAR file
you may need to add some text to your reply, not just the attachement
Hi Handrawn i just cannot add this website file its 24MB?Quote:

the pages the buttons just turn to broken links i even deleted the nav bar and imported a new nav bar from the
online catalogue and the same thing happens when publishing despite it all working fine locally?
at a loss here? is it possible there is a bug in the software ?

This a page from airforceoneheating.co.uk has the same navigation bar with the same issue
with mouse over turns the button blue and when viisting pages the buttons turn to broken i have flushed the dns
cleared cache it behaves badly on firefox bing chrome
i believe its the actual navbar from the online catalogue that has a bug
please see attached this is the only file i was able to upload
Kind regards

You need a Web document and using MouseOver and MouseOff layers for buttons to work in earlier Xara versions.
The Main web design NavBar appears to only be top-level links.
Please advise you are not using Xara's sub-menu NavBar for button links.
I have no idea how you have managed to use base64-encoded images for this buttons.

Dear Acorn Thank you for picking this up for me i was unable to attach the web/xar file of the website as its 24MBQuote:

yes i probably messed up the menu somehow when i manually added the links in the mobile variant
and the main site nav bar was added separately? should i have used the main nav bar to sync the hamburger menu
as shown in Xara tutorials maybe i should delete the menus and start again from scratch ? no idea what base64-encoded images means
Thanks again for your help
Kind regards
Condor
condor, when it goes pear-shaped, the best action is to rebuild, not, repair.
Base64 encoded is where the image is built directly in the HTML and not a call to a separate image file.
In Main, the buttons just need to be simple buttons, avoiding a Xara NavBar. The Variant can be one or a simpler popup.
Acorn
Dear Acorn
Thank you does this mean i have to rebuild all my nav bars as i copied a working nav bar from another website
and this did the same even though it was previously working ok? so now after uploading i have three websites that are affected as they have similar nav bars airforceoneheating.co.uk bwiltondiggerhire.com and jm-fencing.co.uk they are all three now behaving the same? is it perhaps my server and propagating delay!?
Kind regards
Condor
Hi Condor, you don't need to attach a whole website. Just make a duplicate of the xar page/s and then delete all the pages except the index and perhaps one other page then save. This should allow you to attach it.
Alternatively you can save the original to Dropbox or similar and supply TG with the link.
Thank you to Acorn and Egg next time I need to upload I now know how, thanks
for your advice .
I found out from my server people at 20i.com that the Web optimization feature they have within my control panel.
I had enabled this feature and this was the culprit!! I have now disabled this feature and viola!! all three websites
are now functioning how they should with the navigation bars on all browsers and devices.
bwiltondiggerhire.com airforceoneheating.co.uk and jm-fencing.co.uk
How many times have I thought there was something wrong with Xara and most of the time it was the servers!!
Thank god we have TG to ask and probe issues like these without you guys i have no idea how i would have managed
Thanks again for your expert support always appreciated
Warm regards
Condor
condor, I'm glad you got it sorted.
I guess your provider replaced all your images with bas64-encoding, mucking things up.
Acorn
Great to hear you've got it sorted Condor.
one man's optimisation is another man's short measure... :)
Opps i forgot to thank SS-Kalm and Handrawn for their help too!!Quote:
