Hello-

I would like to use drop down menus for my navigation in my custom template.

I have created simple Jump menus created in Dreamweaver (that work fine
when tested in the Dreamweaver program). WHen I load the template and
apply it... the menu links appear but to not link work.

Any idea why this might be happening?

Thanks -

Jason

Can you point us to an example on the web of what is not working, or post
your template/code here? It is hard to troubleshoot without more details.

There are problems with the html. Run the page through the html
validator at http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/

It reports a problem with the form1 not having an ACTION
<form method="get" name="form1">

and
a <table> that is missing required elements
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="915">
</table>

There should be a <tr><td></td></tr> inside the table tags.

For some reason (maybe you created it on a Mac?) all of the page appears
on a couple of lines when I view the source of the page. It makes it
hard to see what is actually going on on the page. I ran the page
through an html beautifier to get it so that I could actually see where
the problems were occuring.

I don't know how you created the page but if your initial source
included a line starting with a # character that line will be left out
of the source if the page was generated using a ShopSite template. It
does appear that you are using a custom template called HEADER.html. So
if you are putting code from Dreamweaver into that template, with lines
beginning with a #, you may need to put that section of code into an
"Include" file and then use the [-- Include <filename> --] to get the
code onto the page instead of just putting it into the template
directly. We would need to see the template in order to give more
exact information.

I'm not a javascript expert so can't be much help on that end. The best
thing to do would be to compare the html from a page where the code
works to one where it doesn't work and see if you can find any differences.

Is this still a problem? When I visited you store, the menus seem to
work for me. I'm using Firefox on Mac.

If you are still having the problem, then what, exactly, is it not
doing? Maybe I can help.
