not supported browsers

[sebastian.becker@berlin.d]

Hello,

as the milonic menu script is not supported by a certain percentage of browsers in use, there should be an alternative navigation method for these.

If a variable like var IsMenu (true/false) was set in the browser checking part of the script, this could be used to write a simple alternative menu.

It would be nice if this feature could be added in future versions!

Thanks, greetings,

We strive for near universal support, more so than many web designers. What browsers specificly are you refering to?

Hi,

when I tested the old version I had trouble with opera (6) as soon as I used a background picture.

But I suppose that some other exotic or older browsers are not supported, either. By the way, what about NS 4.x Linux? For these I would like to offer an alternative menu.

The optimal solution, offcourse, would be if the top link would work in all js-enabled browsers. Then I would only have to write an additional nonscript menu.

Thanks for your good work, anyways, regards

Netscape 6.0 on PC has a real problem with the menu although NS6.1 and 6.2 are fine with it.

The menu seems to load ok with no errors, but will not display at all.

to get around this so far i have a javascript browser detect that displays an alternative text menu (with no drop downs) if browser = 6.0.

Hi,

and what about opera with a background picture, Linux-Browsers and exotic browsers like WebTV, are these supported?

Maybe you should display an alternative text menu with no drop downs for all browsers of which support has not been verified?!

Thanks,

Sebastian

I just had my husband check the new menu I put up on the test website here. He uses Linux and had 4 browsers. NS4.78 for Linux, Mozella 0.9.4 and NS6.1 sees the new menu beautifully.

Only one that had a problem was Konqurer, which put the menu (I have a horizontal one) on top of the banner, about 1 or 2 px. below the top of the page.

so Linux is pretty much covered as far as viewing goes

Lynx, on the other hand, can't see it at all (naturally) and I got around this by putting a text link to the site map under the 1st box in the dropdown menu. That way, if anyone has javascript turned off, or can't see it due to browser age, they can at least get to the sitemap.

I use a simple table with links as an alternative navigation. (For browsers that don't have javascript enabled etc..)
The DHTML menu loads on top of it, and I think it works fine.
