Help with switch menu

Greg · Jul 31, 2004

Hi Anyone,

I used a switch menu which I obtained from dynamic drive on my website (http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/switchmenu.htm). The menu I created is not in a shared order but rather in a table that doesn't extend entirely to the end of the left margin. I have linked a few of my pages to the switch menu. My pages were created by creating a Master page and then File Saving As from this master page. When I click on the navigational menu I created, it collapses as it should given me the option to click on a sub menu. When I click on a sub menu, it goes to the linked page but the menu structure contracts to its original position. If I had used shared borders, it wouldn't contract until I click on another menu. How can I accomplish this without the use of a shared border or is at all possible?

Thanks
Greg

That's because the new page is opening with the script in it's default state
The only way it would open expanded would be if you found a script to pass it some sort of parameter in the links from each menu
(indicating which subX to select and execute a onload event to simulate a onclick event)

Hi,

I tried to paste the Java script switch menu I obtained from Dynamic Drive on my FP2003 website's shared border. The problem is that the menu did not work in the shared border as it was supposed to. On a plain html page, it expands and contracts as you move from one menu to another. However, when placed in a shared border, all of the menu remain open showing the sub links when click on. In other words, the first menu does not contract or switch to make room for a second menu as it should. Instead both menus remain open, and a third and a fourth and so on. I wanted to use this navigational menu structure on all of my pages but it isn't working.

Does anyone have suggestions on how I may remedy this problem.

Thanks
Greg

Ok, I decided to use shared borders afterall to hold my java script
navigational switch menu. However, when I go to code view to edit the
menu, it is not there. The only code that is visible in code view is
what I placed in the <Head> of my page (style sheets and some codes).
Any suggestions as to where I should go in FrontPage to find and edit
the navigational menu.

Thanks
Greg

Any code that belongs in the head section, must be inserted after the <body> tag on the page shared
border page or you must place the code into the head section of all pages using the shared border
manually.

Hi Tom,

I followed the instructions you gave below, placing the codes that belong in
the head section in the body section of the page. I am still having the same
problem.

Did you mean I should open up the folder containing the shared borders and
place the codes in code view of the left border; or did you mean place the
codes directly in code view on the shared border page I created?

Thanks
Greg

Sorry, the code must be in the actual shared border page in the border folder.
