Behaviors Problem

Question

I have sub-tabs or behaviors I have made to a menu tab and
for some reason I have to keep returning to the main tab in order
to view each sub-tab. If you try to go from one sub-tab to another
is says "Page not found." What is happening is that when you go
from one sub-tab to another sub-tab it dups part of the link
therefore the link is incorrect and can't find the page. I've made
an absolute path/link to my sub-links and it still doesn't work. Do
I need to completely redo my behaviors? Not sure what else to try.
Thanks!

Sadly, you have used -
function mmLoadMenus() {
if (window.mm_menu_0314172126_0) return;
the dreaded DW/FW pop-up menus. You should read this
carefully -
http://www.losingfight.com/blog/2006/08/11/the-sordid-tale-of-mm_menufw_menujs/
It's written by the person who adapted that code for
Macromedia to use in
this "feature".
The worst part is that you have used it on a template
controlled page. If
you ever want to add a button or edit anything on the menu on
the template,
you cannot since these menus are incompatible with templates.
You would
have to RECREATE the menu, insert it on a new page, save the
new page as a
template, and go from there. Ugh. Sorry - it's a really nasty
(and
embarrassing) trick that Macromedia has played on you.
Your problem is illustrated here -
mm_menu_0523161854_0.addMenuItem
("Top Line Growth","location='Consulting_Services_Sub_Menus/TopLine
Growth.html'");
Because you have used a DOCUMENT relative link for this (and
all other)
link, and because you have placed your pages in
subdirectories, what you
have CANNOT EVER work.You can fix it short term by editing
that javascript
embedded
in the head of the page (luckily, it's not voluminous) to
change each of
your links to ROOT
relative ones, e.g.,
change this -
mm_menu_0523161854_0.addMenuItem
("Top Line Growth","location='Consulting_Services_Sub_Menus/Top
Line Growth.html'")
to this -
mm_menu_0523161854_0.addMenuItem
("Top Line Growth","location='/Consulting_Services_Sub_Menus/Top
Line Growth.html'")
** note the addition of the leading slash to the link **
Also - you *must* get rid of the spaces in your file names.
This will
surely come back to bite you if you don't.
