For those who aren't subscribed to the BitMotion newsletter, below is
the announcement we published several days ago.

<snip>

------------------------
New component available!
------------------------

We've just released our new component for users of Fusion 4, 5, MX,
and 7. It's called Cascadia and is the answer to having fast-
loading, jaw-dropping, professional menus on your website. Words
can't do it justice, so visit the website to see it in action!

<snip>

This is just one of the many cool things you'll be seeing from BitMotion
over the next several months. Personally, I think there's never been a
better time to be a Fusion user. We're already on a fourth update to
Fusion 7, and there's talk of the another version coming down the pipe!

Does Cascadia suffer from the problems of some other menus, like not showing
up over forms, rotating pictures etc?

Depends on the form element and the browser. I believe that drop-downs
will sometimes obscure the menu in IE but other form objects are okay.
For rotating pictures, it should show up on top though I haven't
experimented with that.

With IE, the drop-downs will cover the menu if necessary to display on the
screen - for example, for my menu on the top, the drop downs are always
below the selected item. For my menu on the bottom, the drop downs arrange
themselves to be above the bottom of the screen. Much nicer than the NOF
built-in drop downs, which would fall off the bottom of the screen.

I do have it on a page with a form, and it shows up over the form with no
problem.

One quirk I did find is that you can't have a <center> and </center>
anywhere. I had it in some embedded HTML, and it caused IE to not be able
to display the screen.

So far, I've been testing it on a local publish. I'll probably test for
another day before I upload it.

As others have said, it is very configurable and easy to set up.

If you're putting <center> after the <body> tag, you'll also need to
include the closing </center> before the closing </body> tag. For some
reason, IE doesn't like having an unclosed tag. We're updating the
component to look for a <center> tag without a closing </center> tag and
automatically add the missing tag in for you.

I use <center> and </center> to center my pages. Works fine.

I suspect the problem was that it was also included in some html I had
downloaded for making some links from my pages, which also had embedded
centers... Every page that had this on it would crash after I added
cascadia. It was ok before, and ok after I removed these extra centers.

If you add <center> right after the beginning of body, make sure you
also add </center> right before the closing body tag </body>.

Thanks, I'll check into this. Could you provide a URL or sample HTML
which would cause the problem?

HI Blake,

congratulation to a perfect and one of the best components i´ve ever seen!

We introduced that component in the NOF-Club.

I´ve mailed Werner some suggestions with screenshots...

Very good work. I´m very impressed and as i saw it i said:
Wewey! Thats exact what NOF-Users need. Would be pretty nice if Photos or
Fusion Styles could be included, too.

Greetings
Michael

Suggestions are being taken for future upgrade versions, so let me know
what you'd like to see in it. How do you anticipate Fusion styles being
used?
