Good morning

I've successfully used the css menu designer in a club website (www.ramblerseastcheshire.org.uk) for a while now. The menu, which includes drop-downs, works fine on all versions of Explorer, Firefox & Safari but not on an iPad and, I expect, other devices with touch screens where options are chosen by touch-and-tap rather than hover-and-click.

What's the best approach? Would the Flash Menu Builder work for both platforms (PC and tablet etc)? I definitely don't want two versions of the site!

It works great on my Palm Pre.

Works fine on my Sanyo Zio too.

Your CSS menu seems to be imported by javascript.
Is JavaScript enabled on the iPad that you tried it on?


Flash is not supported on the iPad.
Your choice of CSS for the menu should make it the most 'universal' !

Good catch Per. I only looked at it on my phone. There's a bunch of script includes generating the nav.

Ah - about the JavaScript: what I did was to use the CSS Menu Designer to generate HTML for the index, which worked fine. But if, later, I wanted to change the index - even if only in a very minor way - I had to edit the HTML on every page of the site. That was a pain, so I used a very crude but effective HTML to JavaScript converter to create a function and replaced my various copies of the index HTML with a single-line JavaScript call on each page. I only had to edit the JavaScript function once to get the same result!

Good point about JavaScript being enabled on the iPad. I'll check.

One small but important point: do the drop-down menus work? The top-level menus work on an iPad, but it's the drop-downs that are the problem - perfect on a PC, not on the iPad.
