    Default Nav Bar with Link and Menu

    Hello,

    In XDP X V.16 on Windows 10 computer.

    On my top Horizontal NavBar, when I add sub menu and link to pages in this same template, the following error pops up:

    Warning: You have at least one button with both a link and a menu. On touch-only devices, visitors to your site won't be able to use the menu, because touching the button will invoke the button link. Therefore it is recommended that you don't have links on buttons that have menus.

    Question: Is there a way for me to have a NavBar with sub menu to work on touch-only devices?

    Thank you,

    Sue
    P.S. In error, I asked this under a different category. I did not know how to delete or move my original post.

    Yes, you can do that.

    Great Job Braden! Feel free to do any "long-winded" videos (not really long-winded) anytime... there are/will be many many people who WILL appreciate what you offer...

    You can ignore all the others. (No matter who they are!)

    Acorn's reference to 'long winded' was aimed at the warning notice, not Braden. He openly praised Braden for his contribution.

    I'm currently cooking humble pie, would you like me to bake two?

    No Chris, just the one for yourself will do...

    May peace be with you all.

    Christ and cmpan1: I didn't know if Acorn was talking to me or not, so I thought it good to just apologize if I had caused any confusion.
    That is my favorite flavor of pie. Not because it tastes good, but because it nourishes the heart, and softens the soul even though sometimes it's hard to swallow.

    hotrodsue: I'm very glad you were able to figure out your issue! I learned something new today, something I didn't even know was possible. Thanks for your question.

    Egg: You and the many others who know Xara are what make this forum an invaluable resource. Thanks for the input.

    Just a bit of ribbing Braden. I have many recipes for humble pie.

    Chris, thank you for coming to my defence and I now see Braden's concern: I was referring to the warning in Sue first Post, not Braden's that snuck in between my reply. My FLAME was to Xara about saying what was wrong but not being clear as to what the fix was. The Error pop-up would benefit from a link to the Help around NavBars.

    Further thanks to all contributing TGers around how to "fix" NavBars for mobile use.

    Sue, it is a long-winded way of not saying remove any links on the actual buttons and only have links from the sub-menu.

    If you need the button link to still exist you should create a top-of-the-list sub-menu entry with that link and possibly follow with a horizontal separator.

    Sorry about that Acorn.

    I'll try to do better in the future.
