include - DWT - problem? RONX help :-)

[Larry]

I have set up a page using a DWT with three include files to resemble shared
borders (top, left & bottom).
They were all working fine until I decided to change the links in the top
"border" from regular text to interactive buttons.
I do not know if the problem comes form the interactive buttons or has
something to with the attaching the dwt.
Any in insight would be greatly appreciated!
TIA Larry

See www.rxs-enterprises.com/fp/b/buttons/ for some information regarding
Interactive Buttons used with DWTs, shared borders and include files. I
suspect that you have fallen foul of the broken relative links to the
buttons contained in the JavaScript event handlers in the button code that
happens with included files and shared borders. Also look at
www.rxs-enterprises.com/fp/b/buttons/workarounds.htm item 3 (near bottom of
page) which may help.

The best way is to not use an include file for interactive buttons, but code
them directly into the DWT.

The page http://funjax.com/ does not display well at all, and the included
page taken directly from the _borders folder takes ages to load on
broadband. In my opinion you should look at CSS buttons instead of image
based buttons. An example of CSS buttons can be seen at
www.rxs-enterprises.org/gourmet/
The horizontal nav bar needs improvement, but the vertical dropdowns can be
adapted to suit your requirements.
