Navi bar links

Hi folks,
I have created a template in CSS with seven pages created
from it. The navibar consists of a graphic rollover with the
'hover' state created as an animated .gif. (first time I've tried
this). I am having a strange problem though, when testing the
buttons in the browser to make sure there all work and corresponde
with each other, the links work once or twice and then just seem to
stop working i.e. not linking to the selected page at all.
I have double checked the .dwt file to make sure all the
links have been placed, which they have. However when I re-check
them in the DW8 'Select file' window the file isn't highlighted
anymore - so I need to re-select it. Has anyone any ideas why this
is happening or any way round this. I have re-started DW8 and my
Mac - just in case, however the same problem arises.
Has anyone else tried to do an animated .gif as a 'hover'
state? I cant believe this is a reason why the links wouldn't work,
or am I wrong?
Many thanks in advance

Give us a look at it then.

  • Scroll over highlight function not working on custom nav bar links

    Hi - I've created a custom nav bar in iWeb (www.HollywoodRC.com). I have it set up so that the text highlights when scrolled over. This function works in iWeb but does not work on my published site in Safari; however, works in my published site on IE. Any ideas on how to get the scroll over highlight to work on my published safari site? All the links work properly.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    No. Things must have changed. I created a hyperlink with a non web safe font, LedgerD, added a drop shadow and published. I also put the same link in a shape. You can see them in this test page: Page-1 . The two items are image files but they do not contain the link text. Very strange. The hyperlink text can't be selected nor dragged to the desktop like other links, like the Click to Play links on the page, however.
    However, I don't know how IE will handle it. According to this IE emulator site, http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/, IE can see the drop shadow. But it doesn't tell us how the links will work.

  • Coloring email link differently from nav bar links

    Hi: Please go to tedandada.com. Click on "contact us" on menu on the left. On the "contact us" page you will see two email addresses. They are black. I would like them to be red before they are even rolled over or clicked to open an email program.
    How can I color them? I noticed that I can select and color ordinary text but I cannot select and color the email addresses because they are links.
    I do not want to change the way the links work in the nav bar. I want them to stay as they are.
    Thanks.

    How right you are Kath.
    May I suggest something? I will do HTML tutorials at this site:
    http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp
    So -- Murray and Kath -- I am not stubborn. (Okay, I am stubborn --- but I am not hopelessly stubborn). Also I like to learn new things.
    BUT - I would still like you to walk me through this one thing I want to do one step at a time - using the knobs and dials. In the meantime, I will do the HTML tutorials -- but obviously it is going to take me time to get the hang of it. So please humor me in the meantime.
    All I want in response to this post is the FIRST STEP. After I do that, I will write again for the second step.
    MY object is to color the links which automatically open a mail program: "[email protected]" and "[email protected]"- on the "Contact Us" page on the tedandada.com site ---- without affecting the behaviour of the links in the nav bar.
    I just want these links blue. I am not interested in hover or visited effects for these two links. (Perhaps these are not even called links - as they perform an action of opening the users mail program rather than linking to a place on my site or an external site).
    Okay so far -- I hope.
    Step 1: I open the page "contact us" on tedandada.com
    Step 2: Here it seems I have four choices to start with (using the knobs and dials)
    a: I can open "External CSS" in the head section of the "contact us page."
    b: I can open "page properties" on the "contact us" page
    c: I can click on the "open CSS editor" in the upper right corner of the contact us window.
    d: I can select the links I want to color and open the CSS palette.
    So --- Which of the four choices above (a, b, c or d do I do first?)
    Let's just start here. OK?
    In the meantime, I AM taking both of your advice to learn some HTML - by doing the tutorials --- but until I get a handle on it, please bear with me and help me the bells and whistles way.
    Thanks for your help and patience.

  • Can you create a custom static top third and nav bar?

    I have created an index page with a custom nav bar and main banner. Is it possible with iweb that this could remain static and just the portion below reloads when you click a nav bar link?

    You can do custom templates and so on and 'print' these to JPEG, or just Export a bunch of JPEGs and put them in iPhoto to create a book online. Not the same, I know, but in case one wanted to do one.

  • How do i edit the links in the top nav bar on an enterprise wiki site?

    I would like to edit and change the links in the top nav bar on my enterprise wiki.
    Currently the links are "About this wiki" and "Recent" a drop down menu with links.
    I would like to change "About this wiki" to a "Home" page link and remove the "Recent" drop down menu and links. I also would like to be able to add more links to the to the top nav bar.
    I there anyway I can do this one an enterprise wiki site?
    Thanks
    James T.F

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to edit the links in the top navigation bar on an enterprise wiki site.
    I try to reproduce the issue, however, my enterprise wiki site don’t have the drop down menu.
    How did you add the Recent link?
    How did you create the drop down menu?
    Did you use the seattle master page or olso master page?
    It will be better if you can descript more detail and provide some screenshots.
    You can use JavaScript to add and remove the items in the drop down menu.

  • New desktop has wrong path for page links in nav bar

    I created a new desktop and have the following problem. The image links to portal
    pages in the horizontal nav bar in the top have wrong path.
    Example.
    In the original portal the home page link in the nav bar has a image associated
    with it in workshop.
    \framework\skin\classic\images\home.gif
    The partial url generated for the image looks liek this:
    \mywebapp\\framework\skin\classic\images\home.gif.
    I created a new desktop everything works fine except for the images. The href's
    are created for the links but the image path is wrong.
    the url generated is : \mywebapp\appmanager\framework\skin\classic\images\home.gif
    The "appmanager" in the path causes the problem.
    Is this a bug?

    Hi Subbu,
    I used workshop page properties to associate the image to the page.
    framework/skins/classic/images/home.gif

  • Creating new page without linking to nav bar

    I am creating a website that will have lots of pages. How can I create a page that doesn't link to my nav bar? IE.. I have home, about myself, resources etc.. each time I make a new page and name it, it automatically lists the webpage name in my nav bar. I only want say 5 topics in my nav bar but will have well over 50 pages in my site.. How do I do this? Thanks.

    Hi,
    and welcome to the Discussion Forums.
    How can I have pages which do not display in the navigation menu?
    1. Open iWeb then select a page you don't want to display in the top navigation bar
    2. Open the Inspector and go to the 'Page' tab
    3. Uncheck the "Include page in navigation menu" box
    4.Now this page will not appear in the navigation menu but the navigation menu will still appear on that page as the "Display navigation menu" is checked (unless you uncheck that one too)

  • Using the nav bar to link to another page.

    It is possible to use the nave bar to link to another page such as a blog?
    Example:
    Welcome About Me My Photos Blog (linked to external blog such as blogger)

    If you want the link to the external page to appear in the default navbar then do the following:
    1 - create a blank page and name it the way you want it in the navbar.
    2 - add an HTML Snippet to that page with the following code in it:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    parent.window.location = "URL TO THE EXTERNAL PAGE"; </script>
    What this does is automatically redirect the viewer to the external page when the link in the navbar is clicked on.
    My Demo Sites are setup this way. The Contents page for each site is redirected to a separate Contents site which contains the index of all the pages in the three demo sites. That way I only have to change the index on the Contents site instead of doing it for each site individually.
    If you want the other page to open in a new window you'll have to create a separate text based hyperlink and use the Inspector/Link pane to link the text to it and check the open in new window option. If you need to have that in the navbar you can create a texbased navbar, hide the default one and set your links as needed in the Inspector/Link pane. This is a demo page of a Text Based Navbar.

  • Drop Down Menu Linked to Nav Bar

    It looks like the default menu bar that opens up when you click a "my page" or drop down button is layered into the nav bar. That is, if the drop down menu is bigger than the navigation area, it is "hidden" behind that layer.
    I would like to bring this menu forward one step, so that it is over the navigation. I can't find where to do this at.
    Also, what was the thought behind hiding it, am I missing something about a possible conflict with a browser?
    Thanks!
    Kirk

    Hi Kirk,
    Do you mean how the drop downs do not go below the banner area? If so, it is done that way because of the burn-through problem. In IE a select box (and in Netscape all form inputs) are displayed above all other layers. That means if a there is a select box in one of the portlets on a page, and the drop down drops down over it, the select box will appear on top of the drop down. This will obscure the links in the drop down.
    If you don't mind the burn through problem, then there is a variable in navhztlddmenufuncs.js that you can change the value of. Look for the following code in that file.
    /* ** CONFIGURABLE SETTINGS ** Flag for only displaying dropdown menus over the header and community section area. This is done to avoid a browser intrinsic issue where certain form elements are drawn ontop of any divs/layers. Set to true by default, Netscape 7.x is the only browser that doesn't exhibit this problem, set this flag to false if Netscape 7.x is the only browser used. Optionally, this flag could be set based on the browser type. gMenuMAXRowsLimit only applies when gMenuUseBannerEndTags is false.*/var gMenuUseBannerEndTags = true;var gMenuMAXRowsLimit = 8;

  • I have 5 html pages that share a common header, footer, and sidebar. how do i use my nav bar to change the content of the body without duplicating a lot of code?

    i have 5 html pages that share a common header, footer, and sidebar. how do i use my nav bar to change the content of the body without duplicating a lot of code? thank you!

    i inherited the website. It’s for a non-profit and is not very
    sophisticated, and neither am I in webdesign. It currently has multiple
    pages that are identical except for that body section, so whenever i change
    the navigation (in the sidebar) I have to update every html page.  I want
    to have one basic page, and just call in the different body content based
    on the link the user selects from the nav bar. How can i do that using a
    script? i am using Dreamweaver.

  • FWs Nav Bar - Make Hyperlinks

    Hi
    I am currently making a website and I have created a nav bar
    in fireworks using slices and pop-up menus etc. Anyway I have
    imported it to my website in Dreamweaver, but I cant figure out how
    to make a hyperlink from the from down and nav bar buttons to the
    corresponding page. Do I make the links in Fireworks? If so, how?
    In Dreamweaver also how?
    Any help much appreciated, thanks.

    It would be easiest to add the hyperlinks in Fireworks, which
    you can do in the pop-up menu editor (same place you entered the
    text for the buttons).
    If you wanted to add the links in Dreamweaver you'd have to
    do it in source-code view. Search for the text that you entered for
    the button name, and Fireworks should have entered a pound/hash
    symbol (#) for your link (don't quote me on that though). Replace
    that with your page link and you should be good to go.
    Someone should be along shortly to tell you that the
    Fireworks menus suck though, so stand by for that.

  • Please see my site about Navigation Bar Links not working

    Greetings,
    I have an urgent issue with www.ForexProFund.com and it's navigation bar links. For some reason only some of the links work in the navigation bar. I have tried and recreated new pages and moved all the content over to the new pages with no luck. I moved the nav bar to the most "forward" position and pushed everything else to the back so it's on the top for sure. You can see that on the "contact" page, the navigation bar does not work, and I have no idea why...it's the same on the "Open Account" page.
    I really need this fixed, as I am sure many of you do.
    Thanks in advance for any input or ideas.
    Jason :>

    Hi there,
    Can you tell me how to "reduce" these things? I am not sure why some links in the nav bar and others do not...maybe I am doing something wrong? Very frustrating since Mac. does not let you simply setup a nav bar....it all has to be template based and then these types of things happen. Either way, if you have details of how to remedy this, please let me know. I tried to remove the line under the nav bar on the first two pages and still no luck.
    Thank you!
