So you are making your FireFox (or other) browser send a useragent like it is IE? 

This would definitely be a problem, cause if the Menu detects IE it will send down its contents as a xml dataisland, which of course IE is the only browser that can understand... 

My suggestion is to keep the useragent that matches your browser...  Are you saying that your Palm has IE on it?

Hi Jon,

the start of all tests is the Palm, the browser on it is not an IE, but a proprietary bowser developed by palm (webbrowser 2.0). I can send you the user agent string, if this is of interest for you. On this machine natively the menu is not shown at all.

Thanks for outlining the problem with my firefox emulation test env. Does that mean, that I can emulate only non-IE browsers that way ? Another question could be, that maybe not all browsers identified as IE are capable to understand the xml data, even if nobody fakes the user agents like me. So far, the firefox emulation was the nearest test to reconstruct palms behaviour.

Your, dvv

Hi Jon,

looking at the user agent string of my palm device

"Mozilla/4.76 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; U; Windows 95; PalmSource; PalmOS; WebPro; Tungsten Proxyless 1.1 320x320x16)"

Now, it clear why the menu disappears. It identifies itself (as some other devices) as an IE. Any idea how to get around ?

Yours, dvv

You will need to modify the spmenucaps.config in such a way that it excludes browsers that contains something like PalmOS...

Hi Jon.

I've modified spmenucaps.config as suggested, but I get still no menu on my palm device. Simulation the UA with Forefox still renders downwards. Any idea ?
