Umbraco Menu macro disappears first on page load - menu

Im using Umbraco 4 and have built a menu using a macro. I have one issue though when I click on a menu item the entire macro disappears immediately, some time before the rest of the page disappears so the new page can render. The new page renders the menu at the same time as the rest of the page though.
Any ideas on why this could be happening?
cheers
Jon

I've taken a look at the ultimate navigation package and I suspect the issue you are having is a client side scripting issue rather than an Umbraco one.
I note you have commented on the blog asking for support from the package writers. THey are probably your best bet here I.m afraid.
However as an alternative it's proably worth looking at this umbraco navigation package:
http://our.umbraco.org/projects/cogworks---flexible-navigation
as this does not use javascript and it may solve your issue or at least give you some pointers on constructing your own navigation.

How can I delete a layer/item in Google Web Designer?

I have been working for a few days now making a simple web page to be a basic cv/bio. I started by making my headers for the page and some simple animations when switching window sizes. After playing with adding some different colors in, I noticed that an asset I added, wasn't transparent(as I had intended it to be).
That said, I have tried to delete the item from the assets Library to no avail. I've tried removing all relevant keyframes, as well as trying to delete it from the Master Rules. The program will not allow me to delete the item, except from the Library, which does not affect the item on the page whatsoever.
I may well be missing something completely obvious and shall feel a fool when this is answered. Thank you for your help in advance!
To delete a layer, click on it in the timeline so that it's highlighted and then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
If the element is an asset imported by you, for example a picture, you must select it at the library collapsible menu and click the trash. If you can't find this menu, clic on Menu > Window > Library.
On Responsive window, click Edit base document. You can now delete it.

How to create a Multi-tab webpage

I'd like to create a webpage with menus at the top, using Dreamweaver. So far the help info I have found online talks about using the "Spry" option from the "Insert" menu within Dreamweaver. But the version of Dreamweaver I have (latest downloaded from Adobe) does not have "Spry" when I go to "Insert". I found "Tabs" under "jQuery UI" under "Insert", and that looks great but when I tested it with IE, there was a pop-up "Internet Explorer restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls" and the page looks all garbled up, unless I click "Allow blocked content". I cannot assume that end users will have the right setting on their IE to make this work and it may just look like the webpage is not well built.
Any advice on how I should proceed?
Thanks,
According to online help (https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/spry-widgets-general-instructions.html), Spry widgets are replaced with jQuery widgets in Dreamweaver CC and later. While you can still modify existing spry widgets on your page, you cannot add new spry widgets.
Regarding the problem of the page looking garbled up if scripts are turned off in the browser, I guess the only way around it is to code in such a way that the page degrades gracefully in browsers that don't support JavaScript.
I found a workable solution here:

SharePoint 2010 - My Sites, modifications to navigation ribbon at the very top

After much online research and getting close to what I am looking for by hacking it together (ie. modifying templates and other files, exactly what every expert out there appears to advise against in terms of SharePoint customization) I have decided to go ahead and post my issue here to see if anybody has ever had any experience with this.
In essence, I start off with a plain My Sites host. I would like to keep the My Profile and My Content pages, and add a bunch of new content of top on that. For us, simplicity is of utmost importance and so when I created a new Web Part Page and noticed that it added an additional ribbon under the navigation menu, I decided that it had to go. This is what it looks like out of the box:
With ribbon
Notice that at this point I have already made a few modifications, such as removing the My Site link that by default appears all the way to the left of the other options. This sadly was accomplished in a very brute-force way.
Now, here is the ribbon-free navigation bar, which is just what I want to be able to design without making system changes that I will regret in the future (and that may be easily overwritten by a CU or hotfix)
Without ribbon
So I guess I should make this clear, I don't want the navigation gone, just customized (ie. no My Site string to the left of my options, no Site Actions drop-down for read-only users) and the Browse/Page ribbon that gets added by default everytime you create a new page, well that one just needs to be gone completely, as shown in the second screenshot.
I have read all about hiding ribbons (which just hides the whole thing, including navigation), customizing ribbons (no success in accomplishing this type of basic navigation after trying them out) and simply don't know what to do anymore.
Maybe I am just taking the wrong approach by modifying something instead of just creating it from scratch, at the end of the day it is nothing but a static navigation bar common to all the pages with the special current user drop-down all the way to the right, then if a user has write permissions, she would also get the Site Actions drop-down under Home, that's it.
Hopefully an answer to this question will help others as well who are looking to simplify their SharePoint My Sites host a bit, as out of the box the number of web components that users are presented with might be just a little too overwhelming for your everyday employee, at least in the industry that we operate in.
Anyway, thank you kindly in advance, I look forward to your replies. Do let me know if there is something that is not entirely clear from my explanation :)
If you take away user's Create Personal Site permission (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262500.aspx) in your User Profile, the "My Site" link will go away.

Custom navigation with Liknlist web part

I'm using a standard link list web part. What I want to achieve is before my users click on the link a pop-up javascript warning box will display, stating that they are leaving the domain. In regular anchor tag I would preceed the URL with javascript:ShowWarning('http://www.youtube.com');.
I've search the AllLinks table in the database but did not find the links was looking for.
Where or how are these stored?
Thanks,
Risho
Firstly, editing the SharePoint database directly is a really bad idea. You shouldn't do it unless you really, really know what you are doing, and even then you will probably break the system.
Secondly, any change made in the data will be what shows up in the editor, and I don't think the editor supports links that don't start with "http://".
A better approach is to use jquery to add the popup behaviour to the links when the page is loaded.

Weird text highlighting problem on website

I have this strange problem on my web page where if you click below the left side-panel, all the links get highlighted. It happens in firefox, not IE. I don't know why its only the side-panel that it happens to. Its not really a big deal but its extremely annoying to me, is there any way to stop it? If you want to check it out, the site is http://www.bhslaughter.com/
Not to sound harsh, but that's a serious case of div-itis. You might want to check the number of links that you have, the open and closing of the div's, empty anchor links and the wrapping of your multiple tables.
Good luck with your project.
Well I found out what it was. I had the left side menu floated inside the table. It was a left over from before I used the table to layout the page
