Changing Web Page A Little. Want To Have A Link

[sredish]

I want to have my general links at the top, but a couple I want to have 4 or 5 links for a subcategory pop out in a menu when you rollover the link. How would I go about this and would it be very difficult?

 

Also, I was adding some pages, and I noticed I could add "html" pages or "xhtml" pages. what the hell is xhtml compared to reg. html? Is this something I could be taking advantage of by using or not?

 

Later.

The main difference between XML and HTML

XML was designed to carry data.

 

XML is not a replacement for HTML.

XML and HTML were designed with different goals:

 

XML was designed to describe data and to focus on what data is.

HTML was designed to display data and to focus on how data looks.

 

HTML is about displaying information, while XML is about describing information.

XML does not DO anything

XML was not designed to DO anything.

 

Maybe it is a little hard to understand, but XML does not DO anything. XML was created to structure, store and to send information.

for the Rollover list thing, you could use Flash, but its a pain in the ass to figure out. It took me forever just to figure this little flash thing out.

 

Flash

Looks pretty sweet Combat.

 

The reason I'm trying to do this is because I'm adding like 4 or 5 pages in a subcategory format under one of my services. I think I've just decided to do a drop-down menu for navigation, much easier and a lot cleaner.

 

I'll figure something out, and I'll let you guys take a look when I get ther.

 

Thanks fellas,

Scott

 

PS - I've been wanting to do this but haven't had the time, now that I'm laid up on the couch, I've got plenty.

Aight fellas,

 

Got all the pop-down menus in and loaded with the correct link addresses. They all look good, but none are linking over, they're dead, don't even try to link. WTF!!

 

http://www.redishconstruction.com/ is the address and the pages are as follows, just too add behind the url address:

• index.html
  
• homes.html
  
• metal.html
  
• who.html
  
• contact.html
  
• gallery.html
  

Under the Homes page, I have a whole sub menu for that:

• builder.html
  
• design.html
  
• interior.html
  
• exterior.html
  
• general.html
  
• bidding.html
  
• faq.html
  

They seem to work in my web app. but just don't try when loaded on the net. My app is Adobe GoLive 6.0

 

Take a look, if you have the motivation and just see what you think.

Now, I'm getting a IE script error.

 

It's asking me if I want to continue running scripts. It did it when I attempted to link to another page using the new pop-down menu.

<option value="http://www.yahoo.com&target">Yahoo</option>

 

Try that, obviously replace the yahoo crap with your stuff....i Think the &Target might get it done for ya??

 

Replace TARGET with blank or self

Well, I tried that some, used the "self" and then the "blank" and it just didn't work. The links work perfectly on my computer when using the links, but when loaded on the server, and I attempt to jump to another area, I click the menu and nothing happens.

 

So, who knows. Ain't got no more patience. I'm out.

Did you load everything on the server? Looking at the source code there is a javascript file that contains the common code. I download a copy from your site to my system I didn't see the file. Look for the directory/file GeneratedItems/CSScriptLib.js on your system and upload it to the server.

[sredish]

I found the /Generated Items/CSScriptLib.js and uploaded it directly to the main index on my server. It didn't work, but I'm going to try a full site update to see if I'm missing something. I was adding pieces individually. I wonder if there's something I need to add to the individual pages.

 

Thanks for providing some intelligence that I'm lacking.

 

I'll keep on working away on it...

I'll keep on working away on it...

That's my best suggestion...isn't it fun! Tedious to say the least, but once you get it fingered out you're probably going to be

 

[sredish]

Well, the CSScriptLib shit didn't work because I put it in the main index. Afterwards, I put the whole "Generated Items" folder and now it works, except for the "Homes" page. On that page, I have two drop menus and neither works. I don't know if I need another script file for the second menu, or what. Little by little. I need to add another link in the main drop menu to take you back to the home page.

 

Thanks for the help, I'll get 'er here in a few.

[sredish]

Alright fellas, I started over. Deleted all the script and started fresh, got it to work, then did a full site update. Seems to work now.

 

Go to:

 

Redish Construction home page

 

and play with the links. Keep in mind, it's still a little bare, I wanted to get the navigation up and going, then work on filling it in. In the Rustic Homes page, there will be a second drop menu that will give you some subcategories, check that out too. Very pimpin'.

 

Thanks for the help.
