advanced guestbook and navstudio 2005

excuse me for being thick!!! but how come when i insert a dhtml menu generated by nav studio 2005 into the page containing my guestbook it doesnt display?? it works fine on all other pages?

help!!

You have a link to the guestbook in question?

www.simmerinstyle.co.uk/indexnew.htm

if you go here you can see the working menu - but in the guestbook its not there!!,

its weird!

could it be because the site is all html - but the guestbook page is php??

thanks carbonise

I think the problem lies in the fact that the menu calls javascript files that are stored in the root of your site. You need to edit the menues src= tags to point to the root. My advice is to add http://www.simmerinstyle.co.uk/ to the start of all the src= in the menu section. For example change src="code/simmer2.js" to src="http://www.simmerinstyle.co.uk/code/simmer2.js". Not to sure I like that particular menu script though. You may wish to look at DHTML menu maker by SoThink or visit www.dynamicdrive.com and look at some of the free scripts on there.

Try this

carbonize you are a genius!!!

thanks v much for your help and ultra quick response!!

i'l take a look at the menus you mentioned though anyway

thanks again!

There's some errors in your html. The page fits my 800x600 screen nicely but you are getting a lot of white space to the right that is causing the horizontal scroll bar to appear.

ok- i check it out!,

not too bad considering i never designed a website before though!!!

big thanks carbonize!¬!!!!

If you've not fixed it by 7 tonight I'll have a look at it. I'm at work right now and my web design/coding software is at home.

I can tell you that you need to edit simmer2.js as it is pointing to images on your computer rather than on the website, ie file:///C:/websitesimnewmenus/code/corner_arrow.gif

hmmm, i see what you mean!, im not quite sure how to fix that one though, my header image is 750px wide, i may need the help of the master for this one, i may stick with navstudio though - purely because its taken me ages to figure it out and seems daft to go through it all again!!

thanks onnce more carbonize you are a gent!

I had a look at your site in Firefox and it doesn't have the horizontal scroll, weird. The menu doesn't look as good in firefox though. A small piece of advice I can offer is to ALWAYS specify a background colour for the body tag as not all browser have a white background by default.

nice one- i'l try that - may make the menu look a bit better!
thanks for all the advice pal

hi there - im setting all my backgrounds to white - thanks for that....
when i open a page in dreamweaver i get a message in traget browser check - "the vqptag attribute of the script tag is not supported" ie.5, 5.5, 6 etc.................could this be why the menus dont look right?

No. The tag in question is not a HTML tag but I believe is something the javascript uses for the menu.

The other reason I suggested a different menu is that I get a stupid javascript alert on every page because you are using the free version of the menu maker.

ah yes, i sorted the pop ups now!,

cant seem to find this reason for the horizontal scroll though, do you see it as that much of an issue? i thought most people are 1024 x 768 now anyway?
or am i being presumtious!

According to the stats for the most popular page on my site 800x600 is still the most common. Possibly because most businesses and schools use it.
