So I'm still struggling with my Web editor and the Menu insertion. I'm using Sharepoint Designer 2007, and/or Frontpage.
the website is .css / ASP.NET.
The menu wont install or be recognized as an external .css requiring me to link each page manually, or
what I should say is install the menus on each page- by- page...not the entire website...won't work.
HERE"S the Big deal....I'm wasting my time it seems. The program IS NOT COMPATIBLE with IE8, period.
Even with IE 7, it pops up more then the typical Active-X warning...
Instead of simply getting this website is running an active=X add on do you trust the site to run this add-on? (Y/N)
The first time you open my site with the menu attached You get the far more daunting:
"Internet Explorer ristricted active content Why has Internet Explorer ristricted active content?
Internet Explorer restricts this content because occasionally these programs can malfunction or give you content you don't want. In some cases, these programs can be used to collect information about you, damage information on your computer, install software without your consent, or allow someone else to control your computer remotely. Given these risks, you should only allow active content if you completely trust the publisher or the website it's coming from."
"How can I allow active content?"
"if Internet Explorer restricts active content that you are sure you want to allow, click ALLOW BLOCKED CONTENT"
then after clicking "ALLOW BLOCKED CONTENT"...the NEXT WARNING pops UP:
"Allowing active content such as Active-X controls can be useful,
However, active content might also harm your computer.
Are you sure you want to let this file run active content?"
I have Pop ups blocked on all sites except a VPN I use for work...
I cant imagine in my RIGHT MIND, who when visiting my website for the first time, will be brave enough to pass through
BOTH OF THESE DAUNTING WARNINGS!
I'm very dissapointed..prior to buying the software, I hadn't attempted to publish any menus int he test version, or I
might have seen this.
I also personally NEVER use IE (any version) except in design functions or the VPN..I use OPERA on a day to day..
the menu doesn't display right inOPERA 9 either, and in Opera 10 Beta...worse yet.
Truth be told IE is enormously popular, and the majority of my website visitors are first timers, and not high level
computertics so little things scare them away...I am certainly not "Microsoft", or a large publisher that the average
joe shmoe thinks trutworthy...and this will FLAT OUT KILL MY TRAFFIC!
So I've waisted an enormous amount of time it seems.
Is there any plan to work out these vunerabilities in the future?
It seems my best bet now is to uninstall the app.
