Hi Bill,

Thanks for the tips. I'll go check it out and hopefully the flash
menu builder is able to feed my desired menu design.

Hello

My DhML menu works fine on my computer in both Firefox and IE but when I upload it to the server it can't be seen. www.genderdialogues.org

I have the script in a separate .s file and have uploaded this in the right place ... so after headings I have:

<script type="text/javascript" src="gdmenujs.js">
</script>
<link href="this.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

I'm not sure if my css might be messing it up .. but as I say it works fine onboard.

Thanks for any help.

More detail on my question above:

this.css was written by someone else for a previous version of the web page (dreamweaver) and mentions another menu that now I don't use.

I have little understanding of css and have not added a reference to the current menu gdmenujs.js since it seemed to work ok on own pc.
I looked at the post above (August 26) where billr mentions css text but I don't see a mention of the menu name ... I don't want to tinker too much.

I have tinkered a bit with the css and now the menu is only visible with Firefox

Norman,

The css I had in the message above was to make the web page display such that the menu would display in the same place even as the browser window changes width.

Looking at your code, I see this:
</head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="gdmenujs.js">
</script>
<body bgcolor="#dbffc7">

Your script needs to be below the body tag, so you would have the closing head tag and the opening body tag, followed by the menu script, and it would look like this:
</head>
<body bgcolor="#dbffc7">
<script type="text/javascript" src="gdmenujs.js"></script>

Give that a try and let us know how it works.

Thanks Bill

I have just done as you say and uploaded it.

It now works fine with both browsers from the computer but still not on the server with either.

Meantime I have taken out the link to all references to the css file.

Hi Bill
Is there anything else I could try here?

Norman,

You are setting your menu 96 px down from the top. You have a jpg image that is 125 px height, and may be covering the menu. This is only a guess, but try removing the gd-gn-logo6.jpg and see if the menu shows up. That should tell us if my guess is correct.

Norman,

Once we get the menu working, we can do something with the css. Using a link to a css file may save you time in the future.

Thanks again Bill

I tried:
1. setting the header .jpg at 110 height with the menu 110 from top
then
2. removing the jpg all together

neither get the menu to show up.

Whoops!
I had put back the css link.
Now with it removed the menu shows in MSIE not in firefox.
I have only taken out the top image in the index page .... and menu works with the top image on other pages!!

We (you) are on the trail
