I think I'm going backwards..........It looked like I had the menu in too many places in the file manager so started over. I thouught that might have been why the contact url was showing up as ........www.orcattlewome.org/www.orcattlewome.org/files/contact.html............When I preview the menu now, it looks good (horizontal) but when I publish it on the website, it is vertical.........also, I tried files/contact.html.................which is not working either.......confused..........:(

Still not working.......shows up correctly on the preview for the home page but not when published. Also, how do you get the menu to the other pages? Can you just copy and paste or do you have to insert the html on each page? Thanks.

It just a matter of up loading the files to the correct location.
If you get them in the correct location this link will not give a 404 error,
http://orcattlewomen.org/owca/styleshee … uilder.css
As far as that contact link being wrong you forgot the http:// on the front of the url.
I was looking at your file structure and I see you are placing pages inside a folder called files. I would not recommend this practice. Create your pages in VSD and then publish. Let VSD place the content in the correct location. It's really easy to confuse things when starting out if you don't follow this practice. With the menu and the form builder I recommend using absolute linking if you want to be able to preview it on your pc. This is done by adding http://orcattlewomen.org/ to the front of the url's in the scripts.
So this
<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href ='owca/stylesheets/menu_builder.css'/>

ends up this.
<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href ='http://orcattlewomen.org/owca/stylesheets/menu_builder.css'/>

You can do this for the form builder also.
Yes you can copy the html box on the first page you add the menu to and paste it into all the other pages. This will allow a seemless look so the menu doesn't shift or move around as you go from page to page. Take your time and you will be a pro in short order.

Eric.............I was getting too confused and couldn't get the navigation/menu web form to show up right...........so I removed the entire site from the server and started over. At least now the front page is totally correct!!! :) However........the other two pages, not so much!
When I ftp the membership web form and the contact form, I want to be sure I put them in the right place.............public_html ........is where the website is .......the folders under this directory are "backup" "files" "owca" .do I just put the membership and contact folders/files in the public_html folder or in the subfolder "files"????? (you had me put them in "files" before)
PS......the menu still does not show up correctly on the membership or the contact page but I'll worry about that once I get these other folders/files in the correct spot............Thanks!!
