I cannot get my navigation bar to display on the web. It was designed in
publisher 2007. Any ideas?

You are using an out of date browser. It may not display this or other websites correctly.
You should upgrade or use an alternative browser.

I am having the same problem. My nav bars are visible on a comp.
running xp and ie6, but on my main comp I lost my ability to see the 2
bars when I upgraded in ie8 beta. I hit the compatability view and
it's not visible in ie7 either. I need to figure out how to fix this
or I need to rebuild the whole site.

I would wait until IE 8 is finalized. I would NOT modify anything based on
a BETA browser. Your site using Vista IE 7 looks OK here.

I agree with Spike. It is the beta of IE8 that is the problem. Hopefully
MSFT will fix either IE8 or Publisher before the final release of IE8.
From my testing of IE8 RC1 if your site renders well in IE7 and FF3, then it
will render ok in IE8 RC1 except for the wizard built navbar. MSFT is aware
of the problem. I would suggest either rolling back to IE7 or if you want to
keep using IE8, then download and install FF3 and test your site with that
browser until this issue is resolved. And since few people are relying on a
beta product at this point, I wouldn't worry about too many people not being
able to navigate your site. If you are, then you can install a textual
navbar for the short term. This type of issue should be expected when you
install beta software with all the bugs not yet worked out. There are a lot
of websites built by a lot of different programs that aren't rendering
correctly with IE8 beta, so Publisher webs are not unique.

Now that IE8 was just released this week (or last), I checked a couple of my
MS Publisher 2007 sites and the nav bars are not visible with or without
compatibility view. I added this code to the sites but did not resolve :
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7"/>
Anyone have any ideas or progress on this issue?
I have Windows Vista Bus. SP1 x86 clean install with clean IE8 full (no
betas or RCs were applied to this system)
Thanks

Same issue, navigation pane does not work in IE8 I even D/L the final version today. Works fine in FireFox 3. Created site using MS publisher 2007

You aren't alone. IE8 is designed to render webpages in a more 'standards
code compliant' mode than any previous version. In general, many websites
built by many different programs including Publisher do not produce
'standards compliant code' and have 'compatibility' issues in IE8. If you
care to read more about the details of these general statements here are two
articles:
Reference: Release Notes for Internet Explorer 8: Compatibility issues with
websites:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/dd441788.aspx
Reference: MSDN IEBlog:Just The Facts: Recap of Compatibility View:
http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2009/02/16/just-the-facts-recap-of-compatibility-view.aspx
Unfortunately this is the price of progress, but luckily the only
compatibility issues with Publisher 2003 and 2007 and IE8 RTW reported thus
far are problems associated with 'grouping'. Any design elements that are
'grouped' together, which includes the Publisher wizard built navbars, do
not render when you view the web page in IE8. The fix in general is to
ungroup the elements. I have found no problems with Publisher 2000 webs that
are produced at the IE3+ settings. While I am hopeful that MSFT will soon
provide a patch that will fix these issues in at least Pub 2007, there are a
couple 'fixes' you can use in the meantime.
I would suggest that you open your original Publisher file and go to File >
Save As and save a copy of your Pub file under a different name. Now working
with the new copy of your Pub file go to Edit > Select All > Arrange >
Ungroup. This will ungroup the text boxes and images that compose the
Publisher built navbars along with any other design elements that might be
grouped together on the page. Now the navbar and the rest of the page should
render correctly when you do a web page preview. Repeat this with each page
in your publication. 'Publish to the Web' from this copy of your
publication, upload those files and they will render correctly in IE8. If
you want to make changes in your web in the future go back to your original
Pub file, make the changes, save, and again do a 'Save As' to make a copy,
etc.
The reason I suggest making a copy of your original Pub file and doing the
'ungrouping' on that copy is that when you ungroup the navbar, you will also
ungroup it from the Publisher navbar wizard. This means that if you want to
add a page in the future the navbar will not be automatically updated and
that change propagated throughout the site.You would have to rebuild the
navbar under those circumstances or manually edit the old one.
If you don't plan on adding any more pages to your site in the near future,
then making a copy and doing the ungrouping on that copy in order to
preserve the navbar wizard would not be necessary. Furthermore you could
also do the ungrouping on the original Pub file, produce your new web pages,
and then close the original Pub file without saving the changes. I just
think that perhaps making a copy is a bit safer, but that is up to you.
While this *fix* is a bit of a pain, hopefully it will be temporary. If you
find any other compatibility issues with your pages and IE8, I would
appreciate it if you would post that information in the web group and tell
us what specifically isn't working, and provide a link to the page where we
can find it.

This fix worked! I am so glad someone was able to help us out. Thank you so
much. I would hope MS would fix this issue, after all you would think a MS
program for creating web sites would work in IE 8. They are both from
microsoft I mean, come on..!

Glad it worked for you. And yes, you would think that MS would provide a
patch to fix this...and I believe they will...eventually. I do think that
there was some pressure to release IE8 as fast as possible for lots of
reasons, and the Publisher product group just hasn't had, or made time to
react yet. It is my understanding that they are aware of the problem, so
hopefully the permanent fix will come sooner rather than later.
