Q: I'm having a problem displaying a little white icon arrow on my dhtml foldout menu. I us Adobe Dreamweaver to build my site. When previewing, I found that adding . /.. to the .js file works good and it displays the arrows. But when I Put the menu on the internet it goes back to displaying a blank box like it can t find it again. My menu is in my site's root directory, and I would like to control all my site's pages with it. I am going to have a basic template for the whole site with the dhtml foldout menu on it and I am to building all the pages from that.
If I don't change the link to ../../ the only pages that will work is the one that is in the same directory as my menu files.
A: Try to use absolute paths to your images on the website. Your menu will work correctly inall cases in that case.
var pathPrefix_img="http://www.domain.org/Fundraising/Scrip/";
var arrowImageMain=["data.files/arrv_white_1.gif",""];
var arrowImageSub=["data.files/arr_white_1.gif",""];
or
var pathPrefix_img="";
var arrowImageMain=["http://www.domain.org/Fundraising/Scrip/data.files/arrv_white_1.gif",""];
var arrowImageSub=["http://www.domain.org/Fundraising/Scrip/data.files/arr_white_1.gif",""];
Q: Javascript menu software copyright info is not accepted by Firefox..
A: Try to change ' to ".
So, you should write
<noscript><a href="http://deluxepopupwindow.com">DHTML Window Script by DeluxePopupWindow.com</a></noscript>
Q: At the first time arrow images are loaded successfully in the menu, That time I click the menu and open a new page in crossframe.
After that I try to open new page from Main Menu, the arrow images are not displayed in the Sub-menus.
A: Thanks for your interest in our products.
You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Please, try to use these parameters.
