DHTML menus in the shared border

[Joe]

I need to use html menus to save screen space on a company web site. I am
trying to place them in shared borders (which are at the top of my site),
aligned on the left hand side of the page on the same line as the page
banner. The problem is that every time i copy the code from sothink dhtml
menu into frontpage, it seems like no matter were i put it the code it messes
up the banner, or removes it completly. I want to keep shared borders so that
all the pages have their own banner and that the menu will show up on all the
pages.

Does anyone who is good with html know how i can do this?

Hi Joe,

The problem with shared borders is that only the code include between the body tags is included in the page layout. For the DHTML
menu to work the menu code would have to be after the body tags.

HTH,

Which border is the menu in? If I recall correctly, Sothink uses Absolute
Positioning, so the menu will only work in the Top border, if it will work
at all in shared borders - Absolute Positioning in a table cell is not a
good idea - and Shared borders add tables around your content.
Additionally, every page must have a link to the JavaScript used by the
menu - this will be handcoded into the head section of each page.

I wouldn't recommend the use of SoThink, or OpenCube, or AllTheWeb, or
Milonic, or any of those other nasty all-javascript menus. There are just
so many disadvantages to them.....

Our OpenCube menu was switched over from all-javascript DHTML to
accessible list based css a few years ago.

I got it working, if you click the little paragraph symbol "show all" it
comes up with an icon for were the dhtml menu is placed, so after dividing
the shared border (on the top of the page) into a table it is easy to keep
the page banner centered and the dhtml menu aligned along the left hand side
of the page. Thanks for the responses
