Re; CoffeeCup Visual Site Designer
Need help adding a menu to VSD using Easy Button & Menu Maker software.

Please Help, Thanks

Problem: I did try to add a menu Easy Button & Menu Maker by inserting into html page, works great, However VSD does not have an html ext. I am not sure how to insert text using VSD.

I purchased the software from http://www.blumentals.net/buttonmenumaker

Important…. I tried using the Flash Tool. How ever the “Easy Button & Menu Maker” does not use flash.

Code is generated that I do need to add to the web page for the menu to work.
I tried using the flash tool but with lnow luck.

Some important info about “Easy Button & Menu Maker”
1. Created menus do not require any additional software like Java and Flash Created menus.
2. Generated code is valid according to XHTML 1.0 and CSS standards

Cbjscbinsmenu.js - type of file used--à JScript Script File (.js)
Cbcscbinsmenu.css - Type of file used-à Cascading Style Sheet Document (.css)

How do I add this? Please give detail please. Thank you very much. : )


Sample text I need to add... Of course files comes with lots of images to make up menu.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="images/cbcscbinsmenu.css" type="text/css" />

<ul id="cbinsmenuebul_table" class="cbinsmenuebul_menulist" style="width: 210px; height: 33px;">
<li class="spaced_li"><a><img id="cbi_cbinsmenu_1" src="images/ebbtcbinsmenu1_0.gif" name="ebbcbinsmenu_1" width="70" height="33" style="vertical-align: bottom;" border="0" alt="Home" title="" /></a></li>
<li class="spaced_li"><a><img id="cbi_cbinsmenu_2" src="images/ebbtcbinsmenu2_0.gif" name="ebbcbinsmenu_2" width="70" height="33" style="vertical-align: bottom;" border="0" alt="Products" title="" /></a></li>
<li><a><img id="cbi_cbinsmenu_3" src="images/ebbtcbinsmenu3_0.gif" name="ebbcbinsmenu_3" width="70" height="33" style="vertical-align: bottom;" border="0" alt="Purchase" title="" /></a></li>
</ul>
<script type="text/javascript" src="images/cbjscbinsmenu.js"></script>

That being said...

Wouldn't you be able to use the "HTML Tool" to insert this into your VSD site? Hopefully, someone more experienced/knowledgeable with VSD will stumble by soon and confirm/deny this. Until then, maybe you could give that a try, play around with it a bit. Another thought though, I didn't follow your link and read up on the "Easy Button" deal, but wouldn't VSD's "Buttonize" feature be able to take care of your need? Just exploring here, maybe I will learn from this discussion as much as you

Well Welcome Back Phil!
Hi Timothy,
take the code you have :

And as Phl said add that into VSD using the html tool. What you need to do is go to edit>add files> and add all the images and the 2.js files then save. Or watch this lol

HTML Tool - I came on this site to say I fiqured it out. I am so happy I could scream. Yeeehaaa! The post above gave me the correct answer. I came on here to give an update and said all is ok.

As far as using the Buttonnize I had the software I purchased before and it has a lot of fancy well looking colorful menus to add and looks sharp. This makes VSD a little more powerful than I ever gave it credit for since it was introduced. Thanks Coffeecup and that is saying something from one of your longest customers. Thanks

Thanks

So it is true... Even a blind squirrel gets a nut once in a while

Things got better once I got it into my thick head. My biggest problem was I seem to have over looked the HTML tool. Then I relised I needed to upload the files on my server. I was trying to get things to work on my computer. There are rules to follow and I just used to doing it the hard way. lol

Thanks

Well it's true with VSD if you have for example videos or whatever, and a large site of sorts, that I normally just copy the html code, instead of using the flash tool and upload all the files using an ftp client cause I don't want it to take forever. You just can't preview it that way. If you need to preview then using the add files for everything is the way to go.Your right.
