Elevator Panel Magic v2.1.2 update

26-Sep-2009

Firefox Bug Fix and
Advanced Current Marker in Templates

Allows running of the Advanced Current Marker utility on child pages of Dreamweaver templates. This update also includes a script workaround for Firefox rendering bugs when panels are tweaked to use overflow: auto (as in this example). Without this update, setting overflow auto on content panels would cause visual artifacts in Firefox browers.

This update also includes cumulative fixes
from all prior updates

  • Animation refinements
  • Enhanced onmousover and new onmouseout capabilities
  • Link Current Marking
  • Advanced Current Marker utility
  • Updated CSS
  • Updated IE Conditional Comments
  • Compatibility hooks for Megavator Menus (available for separate purchase as an add-on component to Elevator Panel Magic)
  • Adds Always Keep One Panel Open option—This will set up your widget so that at least one panel is always open
  • Adds Safari/Firefox Back Button Fix—Safari and some versions of Firefox use a rendering shortcut (to make their browser appear faster than it is) by failing to fully re-initialize scripts when accessing a page via the browser's history feature (back or forward buttons).
  • Provides support for IE5 Mac—The widget is now functional in IE5 Mac.
  • Fixed animation issue for Elevators contained inside hidden DIVs.
  • Fixed issue when using URL paramaters to open panels with multiple EPM widgets on the same page

Updating existing Elevator Panel Magic Deployments

To take advantage of the new options and features, you will need to replace the p7EPMscripts.js file linked to your page. By default, this file is inside the p7epm folder at the same level as your page.

Updating the EPM script

  • Delete the script file
  • When Dreamweaver reports it is being used and would you like to "Delete Anyway?", click Yes
  • Open the page that contains your Elevator widget
  • Place your cursor inside one of its panels and then open the Elevator interface, as if you were going to edit your widget
  • Simply click OK

The system will generate a new, updated script file and new conditional comments. Save your page, then upload the page and the new script file to your Web server.
