What is it with sixes in version numbers that jinx a release? Navigator 4.6 was a step backwards, since they forgot to include LiveConnect. A few days later they were back on track with 4.61.

Version 4.0.7 fixes the new problem and throws in an old problem fix at no extra charge.
Perhaps Internet Explorer is doing so well because there was never a release with a "6" in it. Hmmm, maybe the new 6.0 beta should be thoroughly tested. 
Our HierMenus columns can be appreciated by all DHTML developers and HierMenus fans. If you plan to use HierMenus on your own Web site, however, you will need to purchase a HierMenus license. Contact Barry Pullen via our contact form or call him at (203) 662-2868 for further information (be sure to let her know how you plan to use HierMenus and tell him a bit about your organization, as well).

Several Version 4-related questions have been anticipated in a previous column.
Most of the Version 3-related FAQ apply to Version 4. Please check these for a possible answer to your problem.
I cannot emphasize this enough!
95% of the HM4 problem mail asks questions answered literally years ago in the FAQ. A good 30% of the mail asks FAQ #1. Another 30% asks FAQ #6. Please take the time to peruse the FAQ. You will save your own precious time.
With the volume of mail regarding HM, a reply will probably not be possible. All problems reported, however, will be considered.
Let's look at the 4.0.7 fixes.
