Many Thanks.

This might be the problem:

Spaces in the directory is not really a good idea. You should modify it to some dir without spaces.

How to make side navigation menu using ADF

Hi,
I wanted to make a side navigation menu, like, there is a vertical menu and if I place the cursor on(or select) one of the menu item and it shows the children menu items sideways( having go links).
How can I achieve that?
I am using Jdev 10.1.3.3

If I understand your requirement you're looking for something like this: http://deluxe-menu.com/sound-support-sample.html
Under 10.1.3 using ADF Faces I don't believe there is a component available to achieve this. Potentially under 10.1.3 you'll need to look to a 3rd party Javascript solution. Whether this will work with ADF Faces + JSF navigation is questionable. Potentially others on the forum can comment.
As an alternative solution under 10.1.3 you may want to look at using an af:tree component instead. It wont be as nice as the solution shown above, but will give you a multilevel menu selection.
Regards,
CM.

How to render side navigation menu programmatically.

Hi all,
I Have standard pages (i.e Customer online pages ) when I navigate one page to another page 2nd page have side navigation menu
This page is attached as first page in side navigation menu so by default this menu is displaying if I navigate from this page to
Author pages using keep_menu_context it is displaying to all author pages.
Now my requirement is I need to go 3rd page from 1st page on that time the menu is not displaying (side navigation menu).
Thanks in advance....

Sridhar.

Navigation menu indicator triangle problem

Hi all,
the navigation menu of my site looks correct in layout mode:
It still looks correct in preview mode (notice the triangles' position):
BUT when I go on to Safari, either by previewing it or uploading to my server, the triangles interfere with the text:
Is there anything I can do about it? This looks awful!
Thanks a lot!

No. But it isn’t in Muse’s hand how a browser renders a certain font. You have to use a sort of "security belt".
The alternative is, you have a layout problem (different font sizes for example in different menu states; using system fonts … …)

Show 2 level hierarchy in Managed Navigation menu(Current Navigation) in SharePoint 2013

We have enabled Managed Navigation in SharePoint 2013 Publishing Site. Now when a user browses a page we want to show the current page siblings are its parent links in the Managed Navigation. Right now its showing only current page siblings in managed navigation.
Is there any way to show current page parent links in Managed Navigation menu?
For example I have a term set enabled for managed navigation with following terms:
Level1
    Level 1.1
        Level 1.1.1
        Level 1.1.2
        Level 1.1.3
Level 2
    Level 2.1
        Level 2.1.1
Level 3
    Level 3.1
Level 4
    Level 4.1
Now if a user is on page Level1.1.1 then Current Navigation should show following hierarchy in using Managed Navigation :
Level 1.1
    Level 1.1.1 -> This node will be shown as selected
    Level 1.1.2
    Level 1.1.3
Level 2.1
Level 3.1
Level 4.1
Is the above behaviour possible by doing any out of box configuration or using SharePoint designer?
Thanks,
Anna Jhaveri

Ha i was given the same task by my client but they wanted it to be done in client side rather than creating new user control and inheriting from actual control.
i used Jquery and css to achieve staticlevel 3+ left navigation in sharepoint 2013. first of all let me explain the structure i had created.
HR department
-->Level 1
---->Level 1.1
------>Level 1.1.1
------>Level 1.1.2
-->Level 1.2
(same as above structure)
all i did was setting up the staticlevel ="2" and dynamiclevel="3"
so this would make left navigation with two level and remaining of its sub sites as flyouts
Part-1:
so i used Js to convert all the flyout(dynamic class ) to static $(function(){
$("ul.dynamic").removeClass('dynamic').addClass('static');$(".dynamic").removeClass('dynamic').addClass('static'); $(".static").removeClass('dynamic-children'); $("#zz12_RootAspMenu > li:nth-child(n) > ul").removeClass('dynamic-children');
$("leftnavigation ID"> li:nth-child(n) > ul > li.static > ul").removeClass('dynamic-children'); $("leftnavigation ID" > li:nth-child(n) > ul > li.static > ul > li:nth-child(n) > ul").removeClass('dynamic-children')
$(".ms-navedit-flyoutArrow").removeClass('dynamic-children').removeClass('ms-navedit-flyoutArrow');
by using this script all the dynamic classes get convert to static. after getting rid of classes call "dynamic" and "dynamic-children"
second part :
now we have convert all the dynamic level to static (just look wise) but functionally its behaviors is like flyout menu items.so the following js adds the static behavior classes so it just functions like static menu
$(function()
var path = window.location.pathname;
path = path.replace(/\/$/, "");
path = decodeURIComponent(path)
$("left nav ID" > li > ul > li.static.selected > ul > li > a").each(function () {
var href = $(this).attr('href');
if (path.substring(0, href.length) === href)
$(this).closest('li').addClass('selected');
$(this).removeClass('ms-core-listMenu-selected').addClass('selected').addClass('ms-core-listMenu-selected');
else
$(this).closest('li').removeClass('selected');
$(this).removeClass('selected').removeClass('ms-core-listMenu-selected');
How above code works:
it takes the url path of current page and compare it with the all the anchor elements href ,so when it finds the match it would go insert the static level class like "selected" in the <li> and "ms-core-listMenu-selected" in the <a>
tag so they function like static.
so i have done it for 4 levels so i had to put one more function as shown above to target and read <a> tag href values for 4th level and compare it with current page url.
i didn't explain in detail in here, i'll be writing up again on this issue on my blog with screen captures soon.
Till then you can leave comments and questions.
Disadvantage :this doest work if you have anything listed other then Subsites(pages,list,libraries) in left navigation.

Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome

Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome. Works in IE. This is my first time trying to post a question - so please be kind. I am also not good with code and am finding css a real challenge after learning to design based on tables. I'm using CS5.
The "test" page with the slide show is: http://www.reardanwa.com/index-slides.html   The same page without the slide show is http://www.reardanwa.com/
I realize the images are not ideally sized - I'll fix those once I get the pages to function. Maybe I need a different slide show? I would prefer a widget that I can modify to required size & postition. Again - I'm not good at building with code from scratch.
The problem is the naviagation links that are directly next to the slide show do not work in Firefox of Chrome. They do work in IE.
I've read about using jQuery.noConflict(); code but can't figure out the correct way to use it in my case or whether that's even part of the solution. I know my code is not well organized as I have cobbled together from various sources in an attempt to format the page the way the client wants it. Also, FYI, I will eventually try to make the page work in Surreal CMS.
I've spent sevaral days over the last several weeks trying to solve sth slide show/navigation conflict - so any specific light you can shed will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Please help me move pictures freely, and get a logical navigation menu

I am a serious newbie to iWeb. As best I can tell, I'm in iWeb 1.1.1 (so what's that? '08, '09?) I'm in OS 10.5.7 if that helps. No recent iLife. Since attempting iWeb, I have been reading and trying my best to follow the tutorial but I'm impatient because I'm not a newbie in other related areas (like graphic design, video, photoshop, iPhoto, etc.), and get frustrated with what seem like simple tasks. I'm not trying to do anything fancy. But I am getting all tripped up with two things. 1) I can't get rid of the grids or the photos in the templates unless I drop my own photos into them. Once I do, I cannot move them around freely. I added a gif animation (it took it as a QT movie and after publishing played it as a animated gif, which was great) but the one or two pictures I have next to it I simply cannot do anything with except move within the right angles of the blue grid from the template that is still there. I tried the different frame styles but none of them do anything different. I am looking for something that allows me freeform movement of the photos I am dragging in. Too much to ask? And to get rid of the grids, or at least not be bound by their definitions. I'd rather not use them at all but didn't see an option for that.
2) How do I change the page that has accidentally become my navigation menu. Before I understood this, I apparently created a page that is now my navigation menu. I want to get rid of that page altogether. But it has a star in front of it. None of the others do. Can I just create something called "Navigation Menu" and let it be just that. And build my sites and pages under that?
Thanks for patience and help.

You should post in the forum for iWeb 1, iWeb (Previous to iWeb '08) which will have users who are more familiar with the older version.

How do I fix my floating drop down navigational menu?

Hello, I am currently reworking my website to make it responsive, but I have hit a roadblock with my navigation menu:
My goal for the menu is to have a floating navigational menu in which as the user hovers over the link the image changes. One of the tabs is intended to be a submenu that drops down horizontally. I also am trying to get the menu centered on the page using fluid positioning.
As of now, I have a functional drop down menu with the rollover effects. It wasn't until I began work on floating the menu that I ran into a problem. At first, the menu was not scaling proportioally with the rest of the page, but upon looking around, I found: http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/beautiful-css-centered-menus-no-hacks-full-cross-browse r-support.
Using the code on the link, I recoding the menu. In the end, the drop down menu is causing the problem. When I have the drop down menu still included in the code, the menu is broken up in three lines. The submenu is grouped with its parent, but they are grouped boxy (at least in the browsers I have checked) and only two are visible.
I decided to humor myself and removed the code for the drop down menu to find that the menu works perfectly--it does everything I was aiming for for the time being--rollover, center, floating.
Is there something that I am overlooking that will fix the drop down menu?
I was thinking that I would have to center the styles for the sub menu, but I didn't see any results.
What am I missing that I am not seeing?
The links to the two pages:
http://ryanolsenstudios.com/WithDropDown.html
http://ryanolsenstudios.com/WithoutDropDown.html
If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated, I have been looking around trying to figure this out, but to no avail. Thank you.

I don't advise you use images for navigation as they are NOT scalable to any good effect.
Below is a simplified version of your image buttons with dropdowns in place.
The jQuery used to create the rollover swaps is going to get very long and unmanagable (it's just as an example) I suspect there will be more streamlined solutions using jQuery if you Google, like just adding _static.jpg and_over.jpg to the end of the image src, which will keep the code to a minimum of lines.

How can I get Navigation Menu Button to remain in down state after clicked?

Hi there,
I'm messing about with a Navigation Menu and would like to click on the button and once clicked, the button remains in its down state. I can't seem to find a way of doing this? Any pointers?
Cheers

We would need to see your live page and code to offer more meaningful answers. But I wonder if what you really want is a "persistent page indicator" on your nav menu?

How can I create a hyperlink directly in the navigation menu using iWeb09?

I would like to add a URL to an external page in the navigation menu of my website using iWeb09. I have not been able to change the URL automatically generated by iWeb09 for each new page. The best I can do is to select text or an image that I want to link to the external page. I would rather create the hyperlink directly in the navigation menu. Is there a way of doing this?

Try this...
Create a blank internal page named "Link" (actually you can name the page whatever you want.) Then in that "Link" page add an HTML Snippet with the following code:
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.window.location = "http://www.externalpage.com"; // change this to your own URL
</script>
...Once published, clicking on "Link" in iWeb’s navbar will immediately redirect to the external page. (Thanks to Cyclosaurus for the code).

Tip: How to link to a non-iWeb page in the main navigation menu.

I've figured out an easy way to add a link to the main navigation menu which links to a URL of your choosing. For example, I have an older .Mac site using the now archaic HomePage. Instead of rebuilding all of my old pages in iWeb, I thought it would be nice to add a link to the old site from the top main navigation of the iWeb pages. Sounds easy, right? Apparently Apple has other ideas as iWeb doesn't allow you to do this.
Here's a work-a-round:
Step 1.) Open iWeb and add a new page to your iWeb site. Pick any template, it doesn't matter which one.
Step 2.) Change the page name to whatever you want using the page inspector. Whatever you choose as a name here will be reflected in the main navigation menu. For example, I named my page "Photo Archives".
Step 3.) You don't need to edit this new page at all. In fact, we're going to erase all of the content in it later. Now publish your site.
Step 4.) If you're using .Mac, mount your iDisk to your desktop. Then navigate through the folders to: Web -> Sites -> iWeb -> <Your Site Name>. If you're hosting your site somewhere else, navigate to your root directory.
Step 5.) You should now be looking at all of the files which make up your iWeb site. Open the dummy page we created in Step 2 in a text editor. I used BBEdit, but TextEdit (see note below) will work just fine. For example, my dummy page is named "Photo Archives.html".
Note: If you're going to use TextEdit, you need to select the checkbox "Ignore rich-text commands in HTML files" from the Open & Save pane of the Preferences dialog PRIOR to opening the file from your iDisk.
Step 6.) Select all of the text (Command-A) and Delete.
Step 7.) Paste the following text, substituting the URL you want to link to.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title></title><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.mydomain.com/mypage.html" /></head><body></body></html>
Step 8.) Save the file. You're done! You now have a link in the main navigation which goes to any URL you want.

Hi,
I'm OK to step seven but in your example can you highlight or make bold the "url address part " I'm to replace with my own?
Thanks!
Step 6.) Select all of the text (Command-A) and
Delete.
Step 7.) Paste the following text, substituting the
URL you want to link to.

Navigation menu not showing up in GOOGLE Chrome

Hello,is anybory able to help me ?
I created two pages from samples without making any changes, on top of the pages I am able to see the navigation menu. Once I publish the site on my IMAC and visit the site the vavigation menu is gone ? I am using Lion OS X version 10.7.2 and Iweb version 3.0.4 (601), my naviguator is Google Chrome.
The support of Apple France does not have a solution neither the French forums !
Thanks for your help.

Once I publish the site on my IMAC and visit the site the vavigation menu is gone ?
Let me guess : You open the file on the desktop with Chrome?
Don't.
Webpages are meant to be served thru a server. So publish to the server. Any server. Perhaps the one on your own computer.
You could have found the answer here : Re: Layout with Chrome and Explorer

Navigation menu not showing up

Hi,
I am creating a site using iWeb and have uploaded it to my web host and all runs fine... except for the navigation menu, which is kinda important. I know i could make my own, but I would like to use the default one anyway.
So everything looks fine in iWeb. Here is a screenshot showing the default navigation menu (I am using the darkroom theme)
But when I publish to my server and view through safari (have also tried Firefox and get the same results), this is what I see where the navigation menu should be:
There is no light grey horizontal box, no writing, just a black dot point. The dark grey on the sides is normal, its not in the iweb screenshot because my window wasn't very wide.
I tried disabling the menu, re-publishing (which removed the dot point), enabling it again and re-publishing but I still get the same issue.
Any ideas on why I can't get the menu??
Cheers.

I had the same issue. It's a cache settings problem. I resolved it this way:
Go to Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network
On that screen under the 'Cached Web Content' section, UNCHECK the 'Override automatic cache management' check box.
Then quit Firefox entirely and restart it. Should do the trick.
Peace out
