Popup Menu

[Jesper696]

Hi
in my dreamweaver mx site administration I have a model for the navigation.
included is a rollover effect. now online everything is ok but in my local
files when i open the popup menu it is empty.
in other pics the function popup-menu is not active

i cannot update the navigation or create a new one.
If i open a file not in this site it is possible to create a popup-menu

i already re installed dreamweaver mx but nothing changed
anybody an idea

thanks

Are you using the DW/FW pop-up menus?

The DW/FW pop-ups will add at least 35K of code overhead to the first page
using them, as well as a large dynamic write to *each* page containing the
menus.

You should also know that they link to your files using document relative
links that are hardcoded in your javacript - not only are these links
invisible to the DW link management routines (i.e., when you move a page in
the site, you break the link), but worse, they are also invisible to the
search engine spiders, and accessability (508) requirements. The only way to
solve the second problem is to make sure that your pages have alternate,
HTML-based navigation links on them.

I am not fond of these menus (as you have no doubt guessed) and feel that it
is important to know what you are getting into before you may devote much
time to them.

There are some excellent alternatives to these pop-ups that have none of
these problems. Here are two methods that are very simple -

or

Here is a method that is more 'hands on' but very slick and equally trouble
free -
