Hi Cédric,

I really like your website. Lots of great information.

I followed your instructions on how to add a drop down menu to my website and All I get is text with the links that I created on cssmenumaker.com, but not the actual nav bar.

The website URL is: http://mumhfc.50webs.com/

I uploaded the menu folder I created to root directory of 50webs.com.

Could you shed some light on what I might be doing wrong and how I can fix it so it works?

Thanks.

Hi Soren,

it looks like you didn't upload the menu folder to the right location.

In the code it is referenced as being under

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/menu/menu_style.css" type="text/css" />

hence

http://mumhfc.50webs.com/menu/menu_style.css

but entering this in the browser I get redirected to the "Not found" page. You have to move the folder so that entering the above URL you don't get the Not found page anymore (move it in the "public_html" folder or whatever, you have to put the "menu" folder where the "MUM_Health_%26_Fitness_Center" folder is)

Regards,
Cédric

Hi Cédric,

Thanks for the reply.

I fixed it. Now it shows two nav bars. What do I have to do for it to only show one at the top of each page? I think it has to do with MassReplaceIt. Do I run both Queries when I change the website or what?

Look at the different pages from the new nav bar and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Please advise.

Thanks.

When publishing from iWeb choose "Publish all" or "Publish entire site" from File menu instead of using "Publish" only. Otherwise the code is added and re-added again and again where it already is. If you use "Publish all" you can't have duplicate codes.

Also it looks like you didn't follow my instructions where it says to add a TextBox with a code in it where you want the menu to appear. If you would have followed the instructions you wouldn't end up having duplicate menus on a page (once the TextBox code is replaced with the code MRI doesn't add the code again since it doesn't find the code to replace with the html code). Also the code wouldn't be added to HTML Snippets where it's really not needed and is causing troubles making the site look pretty ugly... On your website there are pages with four menus because the menu was added to HTML Snippets as well.

If I write something on the instructions there (usually) is a reason for it. If you would do everything the way I told in the instructions life would be easier. You would not experience any problem and I wouldn't have to fix anything.

If you want to continue adding the menu the way you do it now (without TextBox) then you have to
1. Remove ALL HTML Snippets
2. Build a separate site for pages appearing in an iFrame and not-run MRI on that site

Hi Cédric,

Thanks for your reply.

I followed your instructions again and this time it worked. I should have followed ALL your instructions the first time.

One last question.

I noticed that when you hover the mouse over the menu and submenus, there are little triangles under them on your page about it. How would I go about adding this on my site?

Hi Soren,

I'm glad it works for you now.

The little triangles are there by default as you can see on this page too:
http://www.cssmenumaker.com/builder/men ... p?menu=057

When you download the source code of the menu you created you also find a folder called "images" in the folder along with the famous menu_style.css and it looks like the "images" folder wasn't uploaded by you since entering
http://mumhfc.50webs.com/menu/images/hover.gif
should bring up the triangle but a 404 Not Found page comes up instead.

You may download the sample menu source code of the page linked above, get the "images" folder out of it and drop it into the "menu" folder on your server.

Cédric

Hi Cédric,

I know what I did wrong and why my nav bar showed up twice before. I went on and did step 10 of the drop down menu section on your site and didn't need to.

Everything works now. Thanks again for your guidance in pointing me in the right direction.

Thanks for creating this website, iwebfaq.org. I have gained a lot of knowledge about iWeb that I didn't know before.

Keep up the great work!

Hi Cédric, I've tried to follow the instructions but the menu fail to show

4. On your iWeb pages where you want the Menu to display add a text (code) like HereGoesTheMenu or something which is unique on your pages (just for the menu).

I found this line rather confusing, what I did was to make a textbox and fill it with the text HereGoesTheMenu

the result after running MRI is that the menu is in plain text (I have put the mnu folder in it's right place as well (I'm using iWeb08)

kindest regards C

Hi C,

maybe I should remove the "(code)" part from the sentence since people could read it as HTML code instead of text code.

Anyway what you did is right. Just type in HereGoesTheMenu in the page, publish, run MassReplaceIt

Search: HereGoesTheMenu
Replace: the code of the menu

The result you get is usually due to the fact that you missed part of the code when you copied it from the HTML file and pasted it into MassReplaceIt. Maybe you missed a "<" somewhere, or a quote, a </div> tag or anything.

Missing only a single "<" while copying or editing the code can cause the code to be read as text instead of code.

Cédric

Hi thanks for your reply, I have copied everything in the file instillation_instruction

I put up a version of the site here:
