I can't see the text in Design Mode but it shows fine in Preview

G

Guest

I inherited managing this website from a professional. I am not a
professional. Here's my problem and any help would be appreciated.

On one page there is a list of items in a drop down menu (kind of like the
way Lotus Notes did it, where you click and it expands). Problem is nothing
shows when I am in design mode, but it shows fine in Preview mode. I can
even edit the code and can add menu items. But, I am stumped as to why it
doesn't show in design mode.

There seems to be one layer in there, but it seems empty. When I move the
layer around the menu does move when I preview it.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Rob,

Yes, that works fine, as does the regular Preview. Any thoughts?

The following code is cut and pasted directly from the page I reference. I
tried creating a new page and pasted the code in and got the same behavior.
Can someone please tell me what's causing this strange behavior?
Thanks

A suggestion - when you change the subject line of a post within a thread,
that post then comes up as if it were a new thread. Please don't do that.

Next, your page has invalid code on it -

</html>
<html></html>

Note the redundant <html></html> at the bottom.

Finally, your page has no content (other than a bunch of empty <p> tags) to
show you in design view -

<body onLoad="openandclose(1000)" background="images/bg1.jpg">
<div id="menu" style="position:absolute;top:21px;left:12px; width:244px;
height:45px"></div>

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

</body>
</html>

All of the menus are being written to the page dynamically at run time in
the browser. This is but one of the many reasons why I dislike such
all-javascript menus intensely.

Hi Murray,

Thanks for your response. I won't change the subject line again, I didn't
realize it had that behavior.

So, I guess what you're saying is that this thing is running javascript and
the only way to edit it is to edit the code directly?

A suggestion - when you change the subject line of a post within a thread,
Click to expand...
that post then comes up as if it were a new thread.<

It does? - doesn't appear that way here.

Tom Pepper Willett

Well, when you change the subject, drop the Re: and don't have a snippet of
the original post, and people don't save all of their read posts, it appears
that way.

I normally read these forums with OE set to Hide Read Messages. That way a
reply to a post that is well down in the list will show at the top. With
read messages hidden, when a post like this comes in, I have to search by
poster name to find the parent post, mark that as unread, and then things
pop back to the top. It's just a pain, not anything broken, really.

Yes - you would have to edit that huge bolus of javascript in the head
(which is ANOTHER reason I hate these menus - way way too high a code to
payoff ratio).

Hi Murray,

Thanks for your response. I won't change the subject line again, I didn't
realize it had that behavior.

So, I guess what you're saying is that this thing is running javascript
and
the only way to edit it is to edit the code directly?

that.

Next, your page has invalid code on it -

</html>
<html></html>

Note the redundant <html></html> at the bottom.

Finally, your page has no content (other than a bunch of empty <p> tags)
to
show you in design view -

<body onLoad="openandclose(1000)" background="images/bg1.jpg">
<div id="menu" style="position:absolute;top:21px;left:12px; width:244px;
height:45px"></div>

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

</body>
</html>

All of the menus are being written to the page dynamically at run time in
the browser. This is but one of the many reasons why I dislike such
all-javascript menus intensely.

The following code is cut and pasted directly from the page I

I
tried creating a new page and pasted the code in and got the same
behavior.
Can someone please tell me what's causing this strange behavior?
Thanks
