    Default Navigation Bar not shown on page with form

    I have used NOF since version 2.

    I am now busy with my first site in NOF2013.

    When I published (local and remote) a test version of this simple site, I noted that the navigation bar did not display on one of the pages (Contact). It does display in NOF design view. All pages use the same masterborder.

    I duplicated the page and removed a contact form from the duplicated page. The navigation bar displays properly on the duplicated page without the form.

    Is this a known bug?

    Is there a solution?

    This is the first I've heard of this.

    Are you using the NOF contact form, or a third party form?
    If the former, are you using Form Tools to create the form or FormHandle.php?
    If the latter, does it use any jQuery or other javascript?

    Finally, do you have a test URL that folks could look at?

    I have created the form from scratch, using Form Tools and actioning a formmail script. I have done this before in earlier versions of NOF.

    The test site has been published at http://www.suprotoets.co.za/xtoetsbuscho146/index.htm (The contact form will not yet work.)

    The site now contains two "Contact" pages: The first with the contact form (not showing the nav bar) and the second without the contact form (showing the nav bar). There is a text navigation bar at the bottom of the page. This displays properly on both versions of the "Contact" page.

    --------
    I have started to try to identify the element creating the problem by gradually building a form on a different page.
    1. Added table as form. Publish page. Nav bar shows.
    2. Added an Edit Field. Publish page. Nav bar shows.
    3. Set validation for the edit field ("required"). Publsih page. Nav bar does not show.

    Seems the problem has to do with the validation (script).

    This has been reported before that the navigation bar vanishes when the contact form contains a mandatory field.
    As workaround was suggested to publish by Site structur.
    And if you change the HTML output to HTML 4.01 with tables, it should work as well.

    I have tried publishing as HTM 4.01 with tables. Works.

    Fortunately I can work with html 4.01 for this site.

    Thanks.

    Are they working on a solution for HTML5 output? I hope so since HTML5/form field validation will be a very common combination.

    Hopefully it will be contained in the next update.
    It's been reported already a few weeks ago....

    Seems like I may now finally invest in either AllWebMenus or CSS3 Menus. Should solve the problem.

    AllWebMenus is awesome. Having a Fusion component makes it unique amongst 3rd party menu making programs.
