Q: I have built a new drop down css menu.
I have a named frame body but when I use the menu creater it works and changes the frame but when loaded to the site it says error on page.
what have I done wrong ?
Try the home which calls home_body.htm and about us which calls About Us.html in the body frame top the right of the menu.
A: You cannot use local paths on the Internet sites. They won't work.
["Home","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Back to main page","D:/Web Design/CCA/home_body.htm", "", "", "", "", "body", "", "", ],
["About Us","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|History","D:/Web Design/CCA/About Us.html", "", "", "", "", "body", "", "", ],
You should write, for example:
["Home","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Back to main page","home_body.htm", "", "", "", "", "body", "", "", ],
["About Us","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|History","About Us.html", "", "", "", "", "body", "", "", ],
Q: How can you set an item in a dhtml dropdown to just have a text and not a link

Q: I have been working with the trial package for the last couple of days, of which I have been really impressed with. However there have been a couple of things that have frustrated me greatly...
The natural place that I first tried was replacing the "content1" line with a direct URL in the var bmenuItems section but this made no difference at all. I am also trying to work out what each set of "" equate to as I have found a couple of pages on the Internet very similar to this but none of them have nine different sections.
["Home","content1", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
Is it possible to allow one of the tabs on this template to just open another page? I look forward to your response in regards to these questions and hope to hear from you again soon so that I can crack on with this project.
A: You can't assign links in Dhtml Tabs when you're using var tabMode = 0;.
You can assign only the object's ID of <div> on your page.
Try to set var tabMode = 1;
and use links for your items.
Q: Your service is excellent and I am making progress learning the program. I was able to resolve the transparency issue thanks to your help but, but now I have another one that is stumping me.
I can get the menu to show up in my html document and it works as I hoped it would. However, no matter where I put the line of code in my html file, the down menu in dhtml always shows up at the very top of the page. The instructions indicate the following:
Copy the following code into clipboard and paste it into the place you want to have the down menu in dhtml:
<script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script>
For example, into a table cell:
<table>
<td><script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script></td>
</table>
No matter where I put the code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script>, the menu shows up at the top of the page.
What am I missing?
A: Check that you're using relative position for the down menu in dhtml:
var absolutePos=0;
var posX="0px";
var posY="0px";
