Jump Menu/ Javascrpit problems

G

Guest

Below is my orginal post, but need desparate help. Question: After you read
my orginal question and some responses I got, my question now is: How do I
fix this problem? Do I have to redo the javascript on every single page or is
there a way to change it once (in my includes header) and apply the changes
to all that way? Or is there a better way of doing it other than some of the
responses I got? Please help!!

I have just uploaded my new site to server. However, I have inserted 2 jump
menus on my header (includes folder). The jump menu works only when I am on
my home page. However, when you are on another page the jump menu does not
work. I have tried opening my remote site and recalculate hyperlinks,....To
no avail. Still the same thing. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

Repsonse 1: Hi Henry,

The Jump Menu you are using is similar to one I use a lot. It requires a
<Head> script. YOu have included the script on the head of your index page,
but it looks like you didn't add it to the other pages.

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function FP_jumpMenu(el,frm,sel) {//v1.0
var href=el.options[el.selectedIndex].value; if(sel) el.selectedIndex=0;
if('_new'==frm) open(href); else eval(frm+".location='"+href+"'");
}
// -->
</script>

Response 2:Hi Henry,

The jump menu relies on a javascript function which must be present in the
head of page. If it was me I'd write the jump menus so as not to require the
function then they'll work on every page. Try making the menus like this
<select size="1"
onchange="if(this.options.selectedIndex>1)location.href=this.options[this.options.selectedIndex].value;"
id="id1" name="D1">
<option value>Shop By Brand</option>
<option value>------------------------------</option>
<option value="../atkins.htm">Atkins</option>

<select size="1"
onchange="if(this.options.selectedIndex>1)location.href=this.options[this.options.selectedIndex].value;"
id="id2" name="D2">
<option value>Shop By Catagory</option>
<option value>-----------------------------------------------</option>
<option value="../amino_acids.htm">Amino Acids</option>

Doing it this way should make life easier.

You need to either insert the function part of the script into all pages using the Include Page or
you need to see if you can get it to work by moving the function part of the script to appear after
the opening <body> tag in the Include Page.

It has to be after the <body> tag, as the FP Include Page component and Share Border component, only
include the content that is between the opening and closing <body>...</body> tags.

Thomas,

The odd thing is; the function part of the script is in inserted after
within the <Head> <Head> of the page on my include page (header.htm), but
somehow only picked it up on my index page, not all pages. Should I move it
within the body?

If you do, FrontPage may move it back (this appears to be a behaviour you
are using, if the code is the same as Steve's), or it may duplicate the code
in the <head>.
