Leaving XWD Because of Immense Frustration

Hello -

I own Xara Webstyle4 - is menu maker a newer version ?

If so, is the upgrade worth it ?

Thanks,

JC

What file did you download?
Have you exited Xara Web Designer and restarted it?
Have you rebooted, then restarted Xara Web Designer?

Menu Maker is basically the Navbar feature from Webstyle.
If you have Webstyle you already have all the funtionality of Menu Maker.

Both applications were last released in 2004.

Although the templates for Webstyle and Menu Maker are not compatible you will find the Navbar designs are the same for both applications.

When someone recommends using Menu Maker shouldn't you caution them that it probably won't work in Chrome?

Hi Gramps,

Perhaps a suggestion that it may not work would be more appropriate I think. There is a recommended fix on the Xara Support site.

I've heard that some people have still experienced problems after using the corrective action. Personally it has worked every time for me, but I don't use Dreamweaver or Frontpage so that may explain why I don't experience the problem.

Here's a new video installment on navbar creation. In this session a third (first-level) button is added -- one that doesn't have a submenu. Additionally, I offer an observation about Web Properties > Mouse-over (tab) > Show popup layer.

Thanks once more Curtis. Very clear.

You can create some pretty cool graphic buttons that can always be used in website designer!

I've prepared another video installment that expands navigation to 4 buttons (3 of which have drop-down options). In the next session, I'll add a fly-out (3rd tier option).
