Hi,
Let me start by stating that i am a begginer to this and would greatly appreciate any help you can offer. i am finding your website very helpful to the development for my website. i having trouble uploading my menu into my published site. In step 2 from the css site installation instructions where do i put this text?

"Installation Instructions
1) Upload the menu_assets folder to the root directory of your website. This is usually where your index.html file is.
2) Copy and paste the code below somewhere between the <head></head> tags."????


thanks

Zach

Hi Zach,

please ignore the instructions you're given in the Installation Instructions file especially the between the <head> tags part.
Take the line you're supposed to put between <head> tags and put it at the top of the other code of the menu for it to look something like this:

Code:
<style media="all" type="text/css">@import "/menu/menu_style.css";</style>
<div>
<ul class="menu">
<li class="top"><a href="#" class="top_link"><span>Sample Menu</span></a></li>
<li class="top"><a href="#" class="top_link"><span>Sample Menu This is some longer text</span></a>
<ul class="sub">


(first line is the one which should go between <head>, just put it together with the rest of the code)

Regards,
Cédric

Hi,
Thanks for your prompt response. I must be doing something wrong. When I combine these two lines of code and set up MassReplace just as in your tutorial the following happens:

In Safari: My Nav menu is highlighted in blue, it's vertical, & it's text(kinda looks like an outline).

In iWeb: the text box that I create with "menugoeshere" does not change.

MassReplace is showing that it's making the changes and replaces the text with my menu. Not sure what I am doing wrong, can you help please?

Thanks,

Zach

Looks like you didn't upload the "menu" folder containing the menu's source files (menu_style.css file) or didn't upload it to the right location or you may have to change the path to make it absolute /menu/menu_style.css
Difficult to say what's your case without having a link to the page.

Anyway MassReplaceIt is working as it should. In iWeb itself "MenuGoesHere" will never change. MRI works on published files, no effect on iWeb itself.

Hi Again,
Ok, sorry don't mean to be a pest but really like your site and what it has to offer. I also really like the drop down menu that I created on css. When I make the folder absolute meaning menu/menu_style.css its now not showing at all on my published site, not even incorrectly like it was before? This leads me to believe that I am not putting it in the right location. So when I publish my site to a folder-that creates the pages in html form, the main folder for the site. Is that where I need to be placing it? Or is there a folder inside that main root folder I need to be focusing on? I would send pics but any uploads I try are not excepted, please advise?

Thanks again for all your help!

Zach

menu/menu_style.css
needs to be
/menu/menu_style.css

menu folder needs to be uploaded to the root of your server meaning that by entering
http://yourdomain.com/menu/menu_style.css
into your browser the file should appear (and not a Not found error message)

There's an extra box for the URLs on the CSS Menu Maker website when you build your menu.

Otherwise read How to make links and image-links on this page:
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Basic_HTML_knowledge.html

In the menu code you'll find lines like this:
<li><a href="#">Sample Menu</a></li>
where you have to type the URL (replacing #)

Good luck,
Cédric

I'm using the free version of CSS3 Menu 2.3 for a non-profit website. When I hit Save or Publish the folder generated only has these items in it; arrow sub.png, hsep.png, mianbk.png and style.css. There is no /menu/menu_style.css file as mentioned here or in your eBook. Can I just rename the style.css file and place it at the root level?
