MX CSS Menus Forum :: CSS Menus alternative

Hello

I need to make the dreaded move to CS3 and one of thekey functions I'll miss is dynamic menus.

Has anyone found an alternative?

Hi Clive

Did you ever find an alternative? I am still looking. I cannot believe that Adobe did not add a dynamic version of there new spry menu bar! I am surprised that there are no third party extensions that can add this capability to this.

IJS

... not only can I not find an equivalent, but mine have stopped working. They install via EXT Manager OK, but there's no Interakt tab on the 'insert' panel - or anywhere else!

Anyone else experienced this?

Sadly I have found that the last version of this and other interakt plug-ins can have problems, I usually uninstall the plug in and delete the include folder and then delete the WinFileCache file in #name#\Application Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8\Configuration. Finally reinstall the extension, this method is long winded but it usually works.

Regarding a replacement, I must admin it has not been easy to find a good replacement that does not require a great deal of modification to work the way I intent it to.   The closest i have found is http://www.likno.com/allwebmenusinfo.html which has a dreamweaver extension and a API to link it to a db.

I am still looking and a few other companies say they are looking add the db link feature to there product on the next release the most promising is http://www.extendstudio.com/Samples/Creative_DW_Dropdown_Menu/Interactive_Demo/index.html

Any one else had any better luck?

Unfortunately No.

Allweb menus look s OK and they offer some decent discounts at times.

If you're maintaining DW8 you I believe you cancan create menus and use them with CS3 but you will need to rename the includes folder to something else
