Multiple declarations of fwLoadMenus

[K. Thomas]

I am having an issue with declaring multiple fwLoadMenus. I have a template
that declares a set of menus that every page uses, but I would also like to add
additional menus to other objects that would be page specific. A simplified
version of the code looks as follows:

[q]

<!-- Static content. These menus are used on every page -->
function fwLoadMenus() {

if (window.fw_menu_1) return;
window.fw_menu_1 = new Menu("root",128,17,"Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif",11,"#3366ff","#cc6600","#ffffff","#ffffff") ;

fw_menu_1.addMenuItem("X","location='X'");
fw_menu_1.addMenuItem("X","location='X'");
fw_menu_1.addMenuItem("X","location='X'");
fw_menu_1.hideOnMouseOut=true;

if (window.fw_menu_0) return;
window.fw_menu_0 = new Menu("root",115,17,"Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif",11,"#3366ff","#cc6600","#ffffff","#ffffff") ;

fw_menu_0.addMenuItem("X","location='X'");
fw_menu_0.addMenuItem("X","location='X'");
fw_menu_0.addMenuItem("X","location='X'");
fw_menu_0.hideOnMouseOut=true;

fw_menu_0.writeMenus();
fw_menu_1.writeMenus();

} // fwLoadMenus()

<script language=JavaScript src="fw_menu1.js"></script>

<!-- Page specific content. -->

<script language=JavaScript>
function fwLoadMenus2() {

if (window.fw_menu_3) return;

window.fw_menu_3 = new Menu("root",128,17,"Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif",11,"#3366ff","#cc6600","#ffffff","#ffffff") ;
fw_menu_3.addMenuItem("X","location ='X'");
fw_menu_3.addMenuItem("X","location ='X'");
fw_menu_3.addMenuItem("X","location ='X'");
fw_menu_3.hideOnMouseOut=true;

fw_menu_3.writeMenus();}
</script>
<script language=JavaScript src="fw_menu1.js"></script>


Much later on..

<script language=JavaScript>fwLoadMenus();</script >
<script language=JavaScript>fwLoadMenus2();</script >

And further on..

<A onmouseover="window.FW_showMenu(window.fw_menu_1,3 74,50)" href="#">
...
<a onMouseOver="window.FW_showMenu(window.fw_menu_3,6 30,90)" href="#">
[/q]

As you can see, there are two separate declarations for two menus and the
names do not interfer. When the page loads, only the static set of menus
(menu1, menu0) appear. The other set (menu3) acts as though it was never
initialized. Is there a problem with having two function calls that generate
menu items?

Ideally, Id like to just add an editable region inside the <script> region
where the first set of menus is declared, but Dreamweaver 8 and previous
versions refuse to recognize such tags as viable locations. Were it possible,
then I could just append my third menu. Is there a simple work around to make a
<script> editable (short of injecting code via another script) or is it easier
to get two fwLoadMenus to co-exist?

Appreciate the help.

Please read what the author of these menus (he adapted them from code
produced originally by Netscape) has to say about them -

Do you really want to use them?
