Pull down menus work in include but fail on page

G

Guest

I have been experimenting with pull down menus. I stole some html code from
a good site and was able to get the menus to successfully pull down. I have
created an Include for the menu and included it in a DWT (simple one that has
the include at the top in a table cell followed by a few more table rows.)

I can get the pull down menus to work when I preview (f12) the include file.
When I go to the actual pages (with the DWT and it's menu include) I can't
get the pull downs to work. The main menu items are still hot (have their
hyperlinks active), but the menus don't pull down.

Is there something special I need to do to get pull down menus that work in
the include page to work in the final pages via DWT?

Thanks

Tom

Include file only include the content inside of the BODY tags
- move all your DHTML scripts inside of the body tags

Could someone look at this html and tell me how it needs to be resturctured
to have the pull down menus work? I have only a beginner's understanding of
html, however, it appears that something needs to be moved if it's to be part
of an include.

Thanks

That page is invalid html
- you can not have 2 head sections or 2 body tags in any html page

If that's your include page apply both style sheets and the styles plus the JavaScript, along w/ the body onload to all the pages
using the include page

Thanks Stefan

The file got the way it is because I copied/pasted source into an existing
include.

A basic html question: Can anything be placed in the body section? For
example, can the css links, the java scripts, etc. all be placed in the body?
If so, it would seem that for an include (which is only going to bring in
the body) the head section either should be empty or only contain some of the
meta data for documentation purposes. Is that true? Are there guidelines
for what the structure of html should look like for an include?

Thanks

Tom

Only for the FP Include must you have the basic HTML tags. for server-side includes (SSI) you would
not have the normal HTML tags.

Sorry but that's way beyond my knowledge of html. Can you try again a little
simpler?

Thanks

The file got the way it is because I copied/pasted source into an existing
include.

A basic html question: Can anything be placed in the body section? For
example, can the css links, the java scripts, etc. all be placed in the body?
If so, it would seem that for an include (which is only going to bring in
the body) the head section either should be empty or only contain some of the
meta data for documentation purposes. Is that true? Are there guidelines
for what the structure of html should look like for an include?

Thanks

Tom

:

That page is invalid html
- you can not have 2 head sections or 2 body tags in any html page

If that's your include page apply both style sheets and the styles plus the JavaScript, along
w/
the body onload to all the pages
using the include page

The file got the way it is because I copied/pasted source into an
existing include.

For example, can the css links, the java scripts, etc. all be placed
in the body? If so, it would seem that for an include (which is only
going to bring in the body) the head section either should be empty
or only contain some of the meta data for documentation purposes. Is
that true? Are there guidelines for what the structure of html
should look like for an include?

Thanks

I'll give it a go

A HTML page should look like this. Specific examples are from my site

<html>
<head>
<title>Site Map</title>
<meta name="Author" content="Trevor Lawrence"/>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-au"/>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>

<meta name="description"
content="Site Map of all pages and links"/>
<meta name="robots" content="index,follow"/>

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/display/favicon.ico"
type="image/x-icon"/>

<style type="text/css">
/* your styles go in here */
</style>

<script type="text/javascript">
/* javascript goes in here */
</script>

</head>
<body>
<!-- al HTML code goes in here -->
</body>
</html>

For an include, I understand that only the body is copied - i.e., everything
between <body> and </body>. So only minimal stuff needs to go in the head
section.

Does that help ?

Trevor, thanks for taking the time to look at the example. I'll give your
structure a test later today. Right now I'm a little gun shy since some
changes I made completely removed the pull down menu action. That's what
happens when you let a novice loose on html code.

The structure I have in mind is an include, which contains the "logo" and
menu bar for the top of the pages. For purposes here I will call the include
file "logo_top". "Logo_top", which is the where the code I posted came from,
creates a two row table with the logo in the first row and the menus, with
their sub-menus, in the second. It also includes the menu intelligence that
makes them pull downs.

Logo_top is "included" in a DWT which is the basis for most of the pages.
DWT is nothing but a table (first two rows are one column and the rest is
three columns) and Logo_top is included in the first row's cell.

Since the warning is that the include action only pulls in the body it makes
me wonder whether to include style sheets and java code in the head section
of Logo_top. If they don't go there, where would they go?

I'll post back when I get a chance to study your example. What I'm
ultimately looking for are some practical coding rules for includes into DWT.

Thanks again

Tom

Don't use an include page in the DWT
- just apply your DHTML to the DWT and it will correctly propagate to all pages using the DWT template

Add the styles and JavaScript to the <head> section of the DWT.
Better still, use external JavaScript and CSS documents, linked to in
the DWT
with lines similar to:
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">
in the DWT's <head> section.
