Menu Propagating to All Pages

History:
My site has some JavaScripts that can't be seen by some viewers. Therefore,
I created an "Alternate Menu" page; a link is on the home page. I'm trying
to see if this menu would be better suited than the JavaScripts currently
being used.

Many of you have stated that you use DHTML. I did this, however, I don't
know how to make PROPERLY .. propagate to all pages. Can somebody help me
in this area.

Direct link is:

Home Page is (contains a link to the AltMenu.html):
http://dfwtejanos.com/
 
Insert the script on all pages that should have it.
You can have the script in a *.js file that you link to like this:
<script type=text/javascript src="myjavascript.js">
</script>

I don't have JavaScripts for the Alternate Menus. I created it using Layers and Behaviors. The code generated from FrontPage is all in an HTML file. I can move the code in the head section into a script and call it, but that would not create the menus on all pages. That code handles the turning off and on of the layers .. which control the menus dropdown list.

For the menubar menu,
Place the menu in an include page, and include it in all pages. The
JavaScript used by the behaviours will be correctly recreated in all
pages.
Better still, use a Dynamic Web Template and attach that to all pages.

The left click menu is not obvious to the user. The links to the
javascripts (including the onload event in the <body> tag) must be
placed in every page using it. A DWT will assist.
 
DHTML is implement using JavaScript and CSS. The code that FP creates is also JavaScript. Your
current Menu is also DHTML (JavaScript and CSS)

I think you need to consider redoing your site and base it on a Dynamic Web Template, then the Menu
generated by FP should work on all pages in the site that have the template applied or search for
another DHTML Menu that is cross browser friendly.

The issue with some of your users is most likely related to your current script not being
cross-browser friendly.

It was the Dynamic Web that I wanted to do.
I need to read up on it first because I currently use an "include" for my
top and bottom that are common to all pages. I will create a test website
that uses Dynamic Web.

Can I do my test (for a Dynamic Web) as a sub web to the current site
without effecting the current website?
 
Yes
Create a DWT page an save it as a DWT
Apply it to a test page
