Problem displaying menu in IE

**Teedee** · 24 April 2010, 12:46 PM

I have a number (~15) Webstyle menus in placeholders in WebDesigner files. The menus work fine in Chrome & Firefox but behave erratically in IE. This problem can be seen at http://www.greygypsies.com.au/trips/...ld/default.htm When at this page try to use the Trips menu in IE. All Wyperfeld pages come from the same wyperfeld.WEB file & all wyperfeld pages behave erratically

The menus on the Home page seem to work correctly and yet it uses exactly the same placeholder code:

<div align="center">
<script src="http://www.greygypsies.com.au/xaramenu.js"></script>
<script Webstyle4 src="http://www.greygypsies.com.au/navbar/navbar.js"></script>
</div>

The two pages (http://www.greygypsies.com.au/default.htm and http://www.greygypsies.com.au/trips/...ld/default.htm) are in different .WEB files (Each menu has its own .WEB and in the Trips menu each submenu item has its own .web file. All .web placeholders contain this same code.

The placeholders are all named <body> so that the code is placed in the <body> of the pages.

Can you see why???

Hi TeeDee,

I do not have an answer for you, but I have moved your thread to the Web Designer/Xtreme forum where it will be more likely that someone with an answer can find it.

Try following.
Close WD6 if it's running.
Open following registry key:

Code:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Xara\HTMLFilter\3.0\IE7compatibility

And change it's value to 1.
Re-export and publish your site from WD6 again.
Does it help?

Seems to have done the trick.
The fix was IE7 & I am testing in IE8. ???
Thanks
John

This setting adds compatibility string to the exported HTML which is only recognized by IE8 and forces it to the IE7 compatibility mode. WD5 and Xtreme5 always export it. In WD6 it is disabled by default.

John,
Is this a registry value that I should change also even though I don't experience any problems? Will this help compatibility with all IE7 users with the webs I produce?

No Jim, this setting is completely irrelevant for the IE7 users. It is also not needed for the HTML produced by WD6. In this particular case, it's the Webstyle menu script that is not compatible with IE8. So to work correctly in IE8 one have to enable IE7 compatibility mode. If you create all the menus in WD6 instead, this setting will be not needed.
