Create an easy update menu linked to other pages?

I've been googling like mad trying to find out how to do this. I need to have a separate HTML file with the rest of my site that has the Menu on it that I use twice on every page of my site. Each time I update the menu, I have to copy and paste it twice onto each page of my site This is very tiresome.
I have tried the

code before, but it does not display the menu on the page at all. My whole site is written in only html. Is there some way to update one base menu and have the copies of it update all at once without using templates? As I have seen written in other forums that did not help me, this may be described as "One menu for all pages". Adobe Forums seems to be the best forum to be posting this at.

Sure it's doable, without having to use templates.
You need to remember that the include file only contains the code for the menu - no other code on the page (<body> </body etc is not allowed).
What extension are you using on the pages that use the include... they need to be shtml pages or php pages if using php includes (which are very easy to use if your server supports php). If they are html pages, then you need to make sure the server can parse html files as shtml pages.
A bit more about SSIs here:

Menus created using manual won't link to other Pages

Created a site and had a menu created using manual which was linked to sub pages within the site. The menu was for specific pages not requiring access from the sites top level menu.
The menu was working but now it is not possible to edit or replace the menu as there does not seem to be any way of adding the link to the required page. The dropdown box to the side of hyperlink stays greyed out and can't be accessed. This is only happening to links added using the menu widget under manual, ordinary text links seem to be OK.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Confirm that there are no objects overlaying the navbar. How did you change the background, from the Inspector/Page/Layout pane?

How can I create links to other pages in iBooks that will function in PDF?

Hi,
I know some people have asked previously how to create links to other pages of their book within iBooks. I having an issue with this myself that I haven't been able to resolve. I am able to create the links, and they seem to function within the program, however, once I export the document as a PDF file (the format in which I need to have this ebook!), the links seem to be non-functional. Does anybody have a fix for this?
Thank you so much for any suggestions you may have!! I really need to figure this out for my client.
Regards,
Meggyn

Exporting as a PDF does alter/lose/remove certain functions. Adobe Acrobat has its own page navigation system.
A lot of the hidden engine of iBooks Author is basically very similar to building a website! so links and books marks are an "internal" function.
IF you have Acrobat and not just the Adobe Reader, you can make links. I have never needed to try, but I see a working link related index in the many software manuals I have.

Create links to other Pages documents

I am a singer and have been using a binder with all my lyrics in it for shows. I got an iPad for my birthday and want to use it in the binder's place. With each show the set list changes and I'd like to be able to create a setlist document in Pages with links to other Pages documents with the corresponding lyrics. The lyrics documents would be static; the setlist document would always be changing. The links in the setlist document would be like hyperlinks of sorts, except instead of taking you to the web, they would take you to other Pages documents in the My Documents folder in Pages.
I've searched all over the place for a solution. I've even tried using spotlight to search for the lyrics documents as a workaround, but spotlight doesn't find the Pages documents. Is this something I can set up on my MacBook and then transfer to my iPad? Is there other software besides Pages that can do this?
Thank you in advance!

I think it would be much simpler to save your lyrics as pdfs and use one of the many dedicated music apps that allow you to create setlists. I use forScore (love it!), but you might also check out Unreal Book and Music Reader.
If you have a Mac, of course it's a cinch to print any file to PDF. For windows, possibly the free version of CutePDF would work for you.
EDIT I see you already have these printed out in binders. Just scan to PDF, then.

How to create links to other pages i create??

I have finished my "homepage" and it has 5 buttons on it.("home",
"Contact us", etc.).
I have no idea how to create links to other pages i create.
For example, if the user clicks on "Contact us", i wnat contact information
to appear. So, do i create another html document that will contain contact
information and then call that page whenever the user clicks "Contact us". Or
do i just create another applet that contains contact information and display
the applet in the appropriate area, whenever the user clicks "contact us".
Hope that wasnt confusing. Bascially, I am sitting here looking at my buttons, not knowing
what code to put under the actionPerfomed part of each button.
thanx
trin

... judging from your question... the best way i think is to create another page...
.... so when ur user clicks on Contact Us..... he/she will be taken to another page...
there are other techniques besides this.... but it is always better to stick with the easiest one
... so you need to create separate pages for all of your links....
... if you have any questions... let me know
.... have fun

JSP links to other pages

Hi,
I have a web app that does not use a framework. I do try to follow the MVC pattern though by having all requests go through one Controller Servlet.
I have a Home page jsp, which only has links to other pages. The Home JSP does not have a <form>. Just <a href's.
These links take the user from the home page to other pages which do work and submit forms. However, some of these pages (jsp's) need to be prepopulated with data. For example, I have a page which gives a random phrase from the Database when clicking on the submit button. But when I first get to the page by following the link from Home Page, it is empty. I want to arrive at the page and have it already gotten the first phrase for me.
One option I thought of is to have the link from the Home Page which took me to the Random Phrase page, go through the Controller servlet initially and have the Controller servlet, after having done the work of retrieving the phrase redirect to the Random Phrase page.
If this is the correct approach, how can I accomplish this? How do I have a <a href link in a jsp, redirect to a servlet right away without submitting a form or something?
Thanks.

So I put this in my home.jsp:
<a href="/Household/randomPhrase.php">Random Phrase of The Day</a> In web.xml I have this:
<servlet>
     <servlet-name>VHController</servlet-name>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
     <servlet-name>VHController</servlet-name>
     <url-pattern>*.php</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>According to the above, when I click on this link it should take me to the Servlet's doGet() method.
However, when I actually click on it, I get the following exception in the browser:
java.lang.NullPointerException
     com.myapp.servlet.VHController.doPost(VHController.java:47)
     com.myapp.servlet.VHController.doGet(VHController.java:35)All I do in the doGet() method is:
          response.setContentType("text/html");
          PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
          out.println("URL: " + request.getRequestURL());
          out.println("URL: " + request.getRequestURL());
          out.println("METHOD: " + request.getMethod());Could anyone suggest what the problem may be? Why I am not getting the expected behavior?
Thanks.

Build a blank/other type of page which can show links to other pages

Can someone please tell me how to build a blank/other type of page which can show links to other pages? I mainly want a page to show 3 links, once someone clicks on it, then it will go to a specified page. I tried using URL, but that did not work. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your help in advance.
-Grace

Do a region (probably a HTML-based one is fine), enter in the HTML for your links, and that should be it. What didn't work about this?
Your links probably should appear like this in your coding (use substitution variables):
f?p=&APP_ID.:3:&APP_SESSION.
In the above example, "&APP_ID." will resolve dynamically to the application ID that you are in, "3" is page 3 (change this to whatever page you want the link to be), and "&APP_SESSION." is the existing session number (if you don't include this, the user will receive a new session ID if the destination page is public or will be intercepted annoyingly to log in and get a new session ID which you probably don't want).
Do not include the full http path. Just start with f?p... and everything is assumed to be relative to Apex on the current environment.
Those are effectively the minimum requirements for a URL in Apex to go from one page to another in an app. You can add to that the additional URL parameters for Request value, Set items with values, clear cache, reset pagination, etc. if you need to. Check the Apex online help under "understanding URL syntax" for details on these.

How do you make a menu link to child pages instead of just top-level pages?

I want two menus on my pages - one along the top which links to the top level pages like About, Contact, Services etc. That's easy enough. I also want another menu down the left hand side which links to the sub pages under Services, but I can't find a way to do it. If you make the menu automatic it links to the top level pages. If you make it manual I can't find a way of adding the link to the sub pages I want. Any advice? I'm running the newest version of Muse on a MacBook Air.

Hi Michael,
I am afraid that there is no automated way to create a menu for the sub pages. You will need to create a manual menu and then use the hyperlink drop down to link the manual menu items to the pages. Select the menu item and click on the hyperlink drop down and choose the page.

Can a menu link to .html pages?

I want to make a DVD that will start with a video introduction, and upon finishing the brief minute or so intro, it will display a menu screen.
1.) I would like the menu buttons to link to .html pages saved on the DVD. So after clicking on a link from the menu, it will open up a full-screen .html page.
2.) Each .html page will link to other .html pages and have embedded images, and short quitcktime video clip links that will open up in small windows when links are clicked.
3.) I need to have a link on each .html page that links back to the main dvd menu.
Can this be done? Any issues with doing something like this?
Thanks in advance for any advice!!!!

Mark - you need to read up on DVD@ccess if you intend doing this through DVDSP. Yes, it is all possible, but you haven't quite got the way it works correct.
What happens is you embed a URL into a menu. When the menu is accessed (typically by a button from a previous menu) the link is activated and the resource is launched. This opens in a window in front of the DVD playback window. The DVD player continues to run in the background - so you need to allow for that when returning. The viewer will simply close the web browser window and be back at the DVD window - by then you should have made the @ccess menu 'time-out' and return to the previous menu.
You set up the HTML file (or whatever file you are using) in a folder on your Mac, and place it all within a parent folder. From within DVDSP you then use the property Inspector for the disc itself (click not he disc icon in the outline view) to specify a ROM folder. You browse for the parent folder you just created. Everything inside that will get added to the root level of the DVD, which is why you place your HTML inside a folder within that parent folder (unless of course, you don't mind your HTML file/s being scattered all over the root of the DVD).
You set the URL for the @ccess link by using the following path format:
file:///DVDname/ParentFolderName/filename.extension
So if your html file is called 'index' and it is in a folder called 'ROM' on your DVD called 'Project' then the URL you set in the menu would be:
file:///Project/ROM/index.html
This should then get activated (as long as you have enabled DVD@ccess links in your DVD Player software).
However, there are some caveats.
Whilst this will work quite well on a Mac, a PC user will have a wildly varied experience - for some the links will work. For some the links won't work, and for some, all links will launch the moment the first link is encountered... ALL PC users will need to install the DVD@ccess software (which will be on the built DVD by default (DVDSP includes it there for you), unless they have already done so previously (unlikely).
In order to maximise the experience for PC users and Mac users you should consider using Sonic's 'eDVD' to add the hyperlinks. This makes use of the Interactual player which has a far higher installed base in PCs, but will need installing in Macs. Again, this gets included on the disc when you use eDVD.
eDVD is a PC only app - you'll need to build your project and transfer the VIDEO_TS folder to a PC, add the links and then burn it to disc or use software such as Gear Pro to create a DLT. Hopefully Jim (WTS) will see this and give more advice on how to use eDVD.
Getting DVD@ccess working on a PC is a tricky thing to do - a lot depends on the PC software spec, and since you can't govern the user's choice in this, you are walking a tightrope of compatibility.
Of course, you could simply set some text into your menu to say that there is additional content on the disc, and let the user browse to it at their leisure instead of relying on embedded links...

Why does updated template not affecting other pages?

I changed the organization's address on the template's footer section and clicked "apply template to pages" under "modity-->template". This should change the address in other pages. But it had no effect. What didn't I do right?

Just to verify, you're talking about your local files, right? Templates do nothing on a server is the reason I ask.
Simply saving a change to a .dwt template will update any child page that was created using it. You shouldn't need to go into any menu to make the child pages update.
My guess would be that the template .dwt has been moved out of the DW generated Templates folder in your local site root.

Does pages 6.0 support internal links to other pages?

I want to create links inside of Pages 6 to take the reader to other locations in the document. I need to have these fully functional links exported with the document into pdf. Has anyone actually tried this in 6.0? Des it work?

Keynote is a version number ahead of Pages, because it was the first iWork app that came out. Numbers was the last and is one version behind.
Pages '09 has Bookmarks that do the internal linking.
It is Pages 5.2.2, the current version, that is brain dead.

Click on a textbox, display alert and link to other page.

hi, here i wanna do is when i click on a textbox, onFocus on it, then call a function to perform checking, and then if the textbox data have breakdown record then display an alert to the user and link to breakdown page.
[Display out in a table]
<%for(int c=0; c<progPect.size(); c++){%>
<td id=progPect><input type="text" size=5 id="progPect" value='<%=progPect.elementAt(c)%>' onFocus="chkBreakdown(pass in 3 parameter);"></td>
<td id=progQty><input type="text" size=5 id="progQty" value='<%=progQty.elementAt(c)%>' onFocus="chkBreakdown(pass in 3 parameter);></td>
<td id=progLump><input type="text" size=5 id="progLump" value='<%=progLump.elementAt(c)%>' onFocus="chkBreakdown(pass in 3 parameter);></td>
after calling the chkBreakdown function and found out that it has record, then pop up an alert that tell the user this record have breakdown, and then link to the other page with the same window.
so the problem is how to identify user click on which row in the table.

Vuze installs ask.com's tool bar also. Check for a Vuze plug in. Thanks for the fix.

Linking to other pages is not working

I have a slice that I want to link to another page. I selected the slice and in the drop down that displays in the property inspector for the Link field, I select the page I want it to go to. However, when I test the page, it does not work, and in Safari, I get this message:
No file exists at the address “/Users/MediaFred/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Fireworks CS5/FWTemp/4193627/page2.htm”.
What is wrong with this?

Did you try previewing all the pages in browsers?

Blog page in iweb site not responding or linking like other pages

Hi
This is a new issue for me. I have multiple pages that I created in my iweb site through my personal domain ... studio8films.net
All page hyperlinks will work properly, but the BLOG page seems to stall and when I look at the bottom of the window it is trying to access www.me.com where ALL THE OTHER PAGES show the access to web.mac.com
Can someone tell me why this is the case? It doesn't make sense. And it is a new issue.

Furthermore ...
When the BLOG page finally loads, I click on the 'add comment' and a message comes up that says 'We're sorry. We are having a problem processing your request.
Is there something going on with mobile.me and iweb blog pages or is there something wrong on my end?

Menu items linking to other pages?

I have built a menu using the forms menu tool in Dreamweaver, and now I would like to link each menu item to a different page. Can this be done and how? does it require SPRY?

No, you don't need Spry to link pages.
Highlight the text or image that you want to use as the link.
Insert > Hyperlink
Complete the Dialog Box... you can use the little folder icon/button at the right of the Link: field to navigate to the file you want to open with this link
Clicking the "Help" button there will get you more information about Hyperlinking.
Or:
Highlight the text or image you want to use as the link.
Just to the right of the Link field in the Property Inspector, drag the target icon over to the Files Panel and tap on the file you want to link to
Of course, you say that you have used the "forms menu tool". Do you mean the "Jump Menu?" That has its own way of working: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WScbb6b82af5544594822510a94ae8d65-7c1ca .html
