I've not installed IE8 yet, so no idea what issues you might run into with the Menu Writer menus. However, if you were to post a link to a page that is having this issue, someone would be able to take a look at the page to see what issues their might be with the menu.

If everything is working in the other browsers and not in IE8 then generally speaking all of the files are in place, so it may be an IE8 issue or potentially some scripting issue.

hello,

I just bought your css menu assist and i am having the same issue with it not working properly. The client only uses ie8 and all the employees as well so this is a big problem. How to fix?

IE8 is still in BETA, so we don't officially support it yet. If you have a url that experiences the problem I will make sure we do some testing against it for when IE8 support is added.

Mine display correctly in IE 7 but customers using IE 6 have problems.

Please post the url and browser you have issues with and we can look into it further.

Sometimes if ie6 has issues, the problem is that the path to the ie6 conditional css is not correct on the page and you just have to update the path.

i had that same problem once i made a ticket here (old site like 8 month ago) and sent my code file i was missing on the top of the site this

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

Thanks for the assistance. I have just put the site (a mess at the moment) up on another server for you to view. It can be viewed at: http://www.christiansenracing.com/dev/index.php

Works great in everything but IE... Thanks again for your help.

Thanks for the tip - I did try it with the different doctype and it works, however, I was using: <!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en">

I was hoping to be able to resolve the problem without switching doctypes... Thanks.

If you are in php you could probably add some conditional script to only change the doc type for IE6 users. Not sure if there is anything you can do to get around the issue in IE without changing it. Did that update solve all of the issues in IE6?

I am having an issue with IE 7 and menus created. They are losing focus or something. The menus drop down, but you cannot click on the second or additional links. They disapear and the layer below shows. The menu is at www.mexiadailynews.com. If there is nothing below the drop down, you can click on the drop downs. But if there is another div below it, the drop downs disapear.
Thanks

It looks like:

ul#cssmw0 ul.level-1 > li > span > a {

needs a width to work properly in ie7 possibly.

You could try setting z-index in the menu to force it on top, but it appears the missing width may be the culprit.

I had to take the navigation back to an old single level one since this is a live site. Will try to solve the issue and put it back soon.
Thanks

Thanks for your help - the code below worked:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

Much appreciated... Mark

Ray, you said "Sometimes if ie6 has issues, the problem is that the path to the ie6 conditional css is not correct on the page and you just have to update the path."

My code reads

!--[if lte IE 6]>
<style type="text/css" media="all">
@import url("CSSMenuWriter/cssmw_home/menu_ie.css");
</style>
<![endif]-->

But when replacing the WebAssistPro menus with CSS Menu Writer, the Cssmw_home directory appears to be replaced by the cssmw directory so it is updated to

!--[if lte IE 6]>
<style type="text/css" media="all">
@import url("CSSMenuWriter/cssmw/menu_ie.css");
</style>
<![endif]-->

Is that what you mean?

Also, a cssmw0 is created what's that?

Yes, this is actually a bug in siteassist pro and menu writer when working together.

Currently a menu created by siteassist pro will not edit properly with menu writer and can only be updated through the siteassist pro interface, where you can add external pages for links to pages not managed through siteassist.

We are in the process of updating both menu writer and site assist pro in order to address this issue.

IE 8 is being released today, Thursday March 19, 2009 and is no longer in beta. Is Web Assist CSS Menu Writer ready for the new IE 8? I noticed earlier in this thread that a statement was made that WebAssist wasn't supporting IE8 because it was still in beta. Amazing what can happen in a couple of weeks..

Is WebAssist CSS Menu Writer ready for today's IE 8 release? If not, whe\n will it be?

Extensive testing will begin with all of our products on IE8 moving forward. How long updates will take will depend on the results of those tests with the released version. Updates could be not necessary at all, or could take up to a couple of months depending on the severity of the issue and the number of products effected.

Currently there are no known issues in IE8, so if you test and find one please let us know. We will begin treating reported issues on IE8 as bugs.

I have a menu that seems to vanish completely in IE, looks good in Safari and Firefox.

The site is http://www.FeministKarateUnion.org

The menu is supposed to be at the top, between the header and text.

Any ideas why it's not appearing? Thanks!

Ray Borduin

The menu is in a table, so that might have something to do with it

If the table cell is given a height it will probably work

Thanks Ray, tried it and it didn't work. The table height is supposed to be defined in styles, by "SAW_TopNav_TableHeight" (19 px). I did try putting in other values, didn't work. Anything else I can try?

I've built a horizontal menu with several drop down items and it displays perfectly in all browsers with the exception of IE. I am testing it in the current versions of Firefox, Safari, Chrome and IE 8. In IE 8 all I am getting is basic default text links of the main menu items only. I am simply following the instructions - am I missing a step? Do I need to do anything with the items in the header? Or with the files in the cssmw folder? Thanks.

I had exactly this problem a little while ago and then again earlier today. I was given the following advice originally and it worked at that time. For some reason, it again manifested itself as a problem today. I reversed the advice in my files and now find that it is again working correctly.

The site I had problems with the dropdown menu is - http://www.zest-uk.net

The advice from Webassist was this:-

in the CSSMenuWriter/cssmw/menu.js file, find the following line:
if(navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer' && cssmw.ieVersion() <= 7) {
and change it to:

if(navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer' && cssmw.ieVersion() < 7) {

Hope this helps,

David

Here is the url of the latest site that does not work www.casariomarina.com

Could you give me step by step on how to update the path? The latest site where the menus do not work with IE6 is www.casariomarina.com

It looks like you forgot to put your .css file up on the site:

CSSMenuWriter/cssmw_home/menu_ie.css

Put that up to your server and it should improve.
