Welcome > What's New? iNavigate 4.2 Java Script Performance Enhancements Work-arounds for rendering problems in old beta editions of the Gecko Engine (Mozilla Browser) have been removed. Breadcrumb generation code has been removed. Breadcrumbs are now generated as static HTML by the Generator. These changes enhance script performance for all browsers and reduce script size for improved download time. Graphics Pre-Loading Javascript code is now generated to pre-load the menu graphics for improved performance on page load and on rendering of menu open/close. Sitemap includes Sub Pages Sitemaps created by the Generator now include Sub Pages. Programatic support for open/close specific nodes Javascript methods OpenNode and CloseNode have been added to allow individual Menu nodes to be opened/closed in response to events on the browser. Enhanced Ability to Add Foreign Pages Foreign Pages can be added by Drag-Drop of the URL from a Browser window (IE or Gecko engined) onto the Generator. Such items are marked as Foreign Pages and have Target set to "_blank". Enhanced Foreign Pages URL Management When setting an item as a Foreign Page, "http://" is added to the corresponding URL if it's not already there. URL and File Name Syncrhonization URL and File Name are automatically syncrhonized by the generator if the file name and extension match. Backward Compatibility iNavigate 4.2 is fully backwards compatible with iNavigate 4.x and 3.x. iNavigate 4.1 ActiveX Automation [Professional Gold] ActiveX Automation interfaces are provided to enable close integration of iNavigate menu generation with databases or other data sources. Browser Coverage Camino (formerly Chimera) for Mac OS X is now fully supported in true Active mode. iNavigate 4.0 Revised User Interface The User Interface has been completely revised to make is easier to use. Personal/Professional Mode iNavigate may now be used in either Personal or Professional Mode. Personal Mode provides just the essential features needed to create iNavigate Menus for websites with basic menu needs. Professional Mode provides all the advance capabilities required for more demanding scenarios, extensive cusomization or server application integration. A new licencing scheme is introduced to reflect these new modes. Browser Coverage Opera 7 is now fully supported in true Active mode. Netscape 6+ and other Gecko-powered browsers may be optionally used in Passive mode, in addition to full Active mode. XML Schema iNavigate now ships with an XDR schema for the iNavigate XML format. This is useful for users who generate iNavigate XML files from an external source, defining the format precisely and allowing for generated XML to be validated. The schema is in the file iNavigate.xdr. XSLT based generation iNavigate now uses industry standard XSLT as it's menu generation engine. This allows Professional Mode users much greater power to customize the generation process than was possible with the old ini file approach. The core XSLT processor is embedded in the software to prevent accidental damage. The XSL files that ship with the product are called from the core XSLT and control the fine detail of all generator output. Specific XSL files may be specified from the Global XSLT Settings dialog. Site Map [Professional] iNavigate supports the automatic generation of Site Maps in Professional Mode. Navigation Aid Management [Professional] Navigation Aid's may be managed from the user interface in the Global Navigation Aid Settings dialog. Menu and Navigation Aid Positioning Menu and Navigation Aids may be positioned on the html page by means of dummy positioning graphics. Multiple Levels for Style Sheet Classes [Professional] Each menu level may now optionally have it's own distinctive appearance by means of corresponding style sheet classes for each level. This applies to both iNavigate Menus themselves and to Site Maps. Graphic Option for Menu Captions [Professional] Graphics may optionally be added before or after menu captions. Multiple Graphics Library Support [Professional] Professional Mode users may select a specific graphics folder. Absolute Path Option for iNavigate Folder [Professional] Professional Mode users may specify an absolute path for the iNavigate folder.
