Menu's

Wilfredo Rosado · August 13th, 2010, 01:48 PM

Does anyone know why the menus work fine in IE but not Safari or Google Chrome? You can go to my website to see what I mean. www.home-remake.com. It would be nice to have it work properly on all browsers.

I saw in another help request there is a fix for this problem. I'm not sure how to exactly apply this fix in the base page. I have included your fix in my Basepage shown below, but I get an error on the request.ServerVariables: "Value of type 'System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollectio n' cannot be converted to boolean."

Code:

Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic

Public Class BasePage
  Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

  Private Sub Page_PreRender(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.PreRender

    If Me.Title = "" Then
      Throw New Exception("Page title must be defined.")
    End If
  End Sub

  private sub Page_PreInit(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs e) Handles Me.PreInit

    if Request.ServerVariables["http_user_agent"].IndexOf("Safari", StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase) != -1
       Page.ClientTarget = "uplevel";
    End If
  End Sub

End Class

Any ideas anyone?

You're mixing up C# and VB. Try something like this:

If Request.ServerVariables("http_user_agent").IndexOf ("Safari", StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase) > -1 Then
Page.ClientTarget = "uplevel"
End If

Cheers,

Hi Imar,

Thanks for that correction. I now do not get any errors, however when I run the website in Chrome or Safari the menus still act the same way. Interestingly however, when I click on the login button it rewrites the screen with the login page, which has the same menu and now the menu works ok. If however I closed the browser and reopen a new session in Chrome or Safari, it reverts to not working until I click the Login button again...Not sure what is going on there, but it would be nice not to have to click a button to get the menu to work properly.

Any ideas?

Hi Imar,

I figured out why the menus didn't work unless I clicked the Login button. My website is a relatively small website and when you first get in it is through default.aspx. From that page you can get to the other pages via the menu.

However the menu did not work in Chrome and Safari so there was no way to get to the other pages except throught the Login button. That left only two pages available the default page and the Login page. One worked the other didn't, so I therefore looked at the Default.aspx.vb code and noticed that it did not inherit the basepage, it was still inheriting from "System.Web.UI.Page". Some how that slipped by me. Anyway, I changed it to inherit from BasePage and now it works fine.

Thanks for helping with the VB vs C# code syntax problem.
