Navigation Bar on Welcome Page?

I just made a website as a test. I put in a welcome page first, of course. I then added a blog page. On the blog page the nav bar lists both welcome and blog. On my welcome page the bar at the top just lists "welcome". Shouldn't it list any other pages for quick access? I can add links to a side bar, but I thought any additional pages would show at the top nav bar. Help anyone?

Yes, it should list the same links on every page...and every page should have a link for itself unless you have chosen not to include the page in the links using the Inspector.
If you have not tried already, try emptying your browser cache to make sure that you are not seeing old, cached information. In Safari, look under the Safari menu item and select "Empty cache...". Then reload your website and see if your menus don't all show up correctly.

How do i make a navigation bar for all pages

Hi friends !
I want the same navigation bar to appear on all the web pages of my website. (As these are the common things that all the webpages will have). But I didn't find any option to use the navigation bar as a template.
Will I have to copy and paste the same navigation bar on all the pages (let's say 50 to 60 pages, I will have). It will be very tiresome and tedious job to do.
And also if I make even a minor change in the navigation bar then I will have to change it in all 50-60 pages.
What should I do ?
Please help me in this regard.
Imagine a 100 or 200 page site, perfectly functioning and on the air. Then, one day, you need to add or delete some button, or simply change a link. You need to change the menubar in ALL 200 pages, and then re-publish them all. Quite a work, ah ?

Although Dreamweaver Templates and Library items are suitable tools for doing this, they're tedious and cumbersome at best. They get old very quickly.
By far the most efficient method is to set your navigation bar up as a Server Side Include (SSI).
SSIs are not Dreamweaver specific, they're a general web technology available on any server.
A good primer here

Do you already have a hosting account? Does it have PHP available?

Not with SSIs. Simple sitewide menu updates take a few seconds.
You edit a single text file locally (either button labels or a CSS rule for styling the button), upload (1-2 seconds) and every page on the site is instantly updated.
Much better than DW Templates.

Add Image in the navigation bar of Help page

Hi,
I wanted to add image next to to the Search in the Help page navigation bar as in snapshot below:
I wanted to add an image i.e the the logo next to above button in navigation bar. I tried adding , howevr could only add as Header, not right in the navigation pane. Correct me if I m wrong, the navigation control can be configured while generation web output. I coudnt find any other option to do this.
Please let me your inputs on this.
Thanks,
Pallavi

Hi all
Sorry Colum, I think you are wrong. That looks exactly like a WebHelp Search dialog.
Pallavi, I am thinking the answer for you may be a simple one. Use the WebHelp skin editor. There you should see an option to choose the image used for the Go button.
I'm not exactly sure what version you are using. But I'll insert a screen capture of RoboHelp 7 below.
My thought here is that you could create an image that includes your company logo along with the Go button. Then use that image for the Go button. Sure, both the company logo as well as the Go button would be clickable, but it should do the job, no?
Cheers... Rick

Horizontal navigation bar stretches across page

Just started using Dreamweaver CS3 and using Missing Manual
tutorial in chapter 9 (page. 365) #13.
My problem is with IE 5.2.3, which is installed and I never
use. I checked my tutorial in safari and opera and everything
looked fine. But, in IE the navigation bar that is supposed to be a
single line [home/features/ask the experts] under the banner is now
stretching across the page in a vertical position. The tutorial
said how to fix, but does not work. I am thinking the book is wrong
since I tested their finished page in IE and it is doing the same
thing. Mine looks just like this

How do I fix this?
Thanks,

Hummm IE5x probably isn't worth bothering about anymore. With
IE 8 on
the way tough on the very small percentage of IE5 user.
None of the stats for my few sites shows anyone using IE5
anymore and if
so the percentage is so low that in my opinion it isn't worth
the effort
of trying to resolve issues in that particular browser.
Move on and make sure it looks ok in IE6 upwards.

Copying navigation bar to other pages

I created a graphic representing a navigation bar, that I
then turned into an image map with several links. I also did pop up
windows for several of these links. Now I find I can't copy this
navbar to other pages. Any suggestions on how to do this?

1. Don't use the DW/FW pop-up menus.
2. Post a link to your page so we can see what it is you have
done.

Link iWeb Navigation Bar to External Page

I want to add a link in the nav bar to my MobileMe Gallery page. On my old website origonally built with iWeb 2006, I created a blank page and then edited the index.html file for the site with the url for the Gallery. With iWeb 2011 (or is it 2009?), it doesn't seem to save the source files in the same location by default (Sites folder). Instead, they appear to be all within the domain file in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder, and the index.html file no longer exists in the same form.
I've tried using a javascript script to autoforward, but I don't like this solution because it doesn't integrate the Gallery into the webpage in a seemless manner (the back button is cumbersome). Right now, I have hyper linked text statement that opens up the gallery, but this is awkeward as well. I would prefer not to do a whole custom nav bar, because I like the ease in updating it as I change pages (something that happens often). Does anyone have any ideas?

there are several ways to do this.
method #1:
1) add a page to your site, that would a an item to navbar
2) in this page add an html snippet with iframe code link to your gallery:
<iframe src="http://path/to/your/gallery/" frameborder="0" width="700px" height="800px" scrolling="no" allowTransparency="true" ></iframe>
you need to change width and height dimensions to fit your gallery. this is the easiest method, but the only way to go back is to use browser back button... not very ideal.
method #2, open a page in new window; example:
http://temp.cyclosaurus.com/NavBarAltered/My_Albums/My_Albums.html
click on Gallery will open a new window and go to google site.
code:

Somehow hyperlinked whole page, now navigation bar doesn't work

I was trying to add a hyperlink to the bottom of my page, and somehow made the whole page the hyper link. Now my navigation bar doesn't work. When I scroll with my mouse to show me if there is something hiding the navigation bar, the whole page including the navigation bar seems to be one image. How do I fix this? I tried starting a new page, but have trouble formatting the columns properly again. HElp??? if you want to see what I'm talking about, its the Resume page that has the inactive nav bar, and the Resumee page that I can't format right... http://web.me.com/lauren.kelly

Just checked the Resume page and the entire page, except for the navbar is a link to download your resume as a Word document. The file didn't have an extension but I added the .doc extension and it opened in Pages as a Word document.
If you don't want the document to be downloaded check the page in iWeb to see if you see the hyperlink icon somewhere on the page. Select the object it's attached to and use the Inspector/Link/Hyperlink pane to remove it as a link.
The links in the navbar are working as they should. It's just the body of the page that has an "unwanted" (?) link.

How to remove Navigation Bar entry

Hi,
Is it possible to remove navigation bar entry 'Welcome: USERNAME'?
Can any one help with this please?
Kind Regards
Rana
Edited by: Rana007 on Sep 29, 2011 5:51 PM

Rana,
Check out the Body of you standard page template. Make a copy of this code prior to experimentation !
Within the Body you may see something like this:
<div id="header">
<div id="logo"><a href="#HOME_LINK#">#LOGO##REGION_POSITION_06#</a></div>
#REGION_POSITION_07#
<div id="navbar">
    #NAVIGATION_BAR#
    <div class="app-user">#WELCOME_USER#</div>
    #REGION_POSITION_08#
</div>
</div>Removing the line with <div class="app-user">#WELCOME_USER#</div> should do it.

Navigation Bar Problem

Hello
I have a problem with my navigation bar, took a page out, and so it trimmed the bar down, but i want to take it a bit more because all the other pages look off centre. However when i do this on one page, it does not replicate what i done to the bar on all of my other pages.
Any advice?
Thanks
Dan

Are you talking about a navigation bar that you have made yourself or the navigation bar that comes with the page template?
If you have made your own nav bar, then of course you can cut and paste and delete what is there.
If you are using the nav bar that comes with the page template, then you cannot cut and paste or delete it, but you can alter the width of where it is on the page. You need to look and see on the first page and see if these settings are correct. Make a note of the settings and go through your site and alter every page to those settings and then they should all look the same.
It all depends on which nav bar you are using.

Spry Navigation Bar

I'm new to dreamweaver CS5 and have created a new spry navigation bar. Is there a way to create one generic navigation bar to be used in several different pages so when I have to update the menus, I don't have to change each spry navigation bar for each page. Basically one main navigation bar to be used in several different pages w/out having to create a nav bar for each page.

Responsive Navigation Bar (Alignment)

I have my first responsive navigation bar on my page, and can not find the rule to move the (parent?) main menu item headings to the left. (I tried a couple things, some help, some didn't). I would like to move the 'Products' tab (with the others) to the left to line up with the blue border line. I need to also ensure that the subcontent displays starting same position also, and not far left of the main title/heading . (Essentially all text content left and text subcontent left lined up with the border (horz rule) line. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is site for my code: http://www.dothopper.com/
Also two great sites I found:
http://jquery-plugins.net/
Great sripts/plugins
http://tympanus.net/codrops/category/blueprints/
Great, EASY, Quality concepts, plugins, components, layouts. Great Responsive Navigation !!

No Notepad. Plain vanilla is just a basic HTML page with no stylesheets attached to it other than the one you're trouble shooting. When I looked at your page earlier, I remember seeing about 15 CSS files (some jQuery related).
Division-itis is never a good thing.   Use HTML selectors alone or with classes.
/**This is applied to all h2 elements, regardless of where they appear**/
h2 {font-size:18px}
/**this is applied to all h2 elements that are inside the header only**/
header h2 {margin-left: 45px }
/**re-usable classes**/
.red {color: #F00}
HTML:
     <h2 class="red">This is a red, 18px heading 2</h2>
     <header>
          <h2>This is an 18px heading 2 with a margin-left of 45px</h2>
     </header>

Can't Modify Navigation Bar!

Okay, I've played with this for long enough...now I'm
desperate!
I have a template, which is based on another template, and I
have inserted a Navigation Bar. Works fine. BUT, when I try to add
more elements to the Navigation Bar, I get an error message:
"Making this change would requirechanging code that is locked by a
Template or a translator. The change will be discarded." and, as
promised, it promptly disregards all the work I just did. Does
anyone have any ideas? I'd really appreciate it.

Your method seems like it's the wrong approach.
It's easy to do with CSS or with javascript.
With CSS you would have a little stylesheet embedded in the
head of each
page that allows you to set the down state for any given
button (each button
would have a unique id - for example -
<a href="foo.html" id="button1">...<a
href="bar.html" id="button2">
and then your stylesheet would have this -
a#button1 {{ styles }
on one page, and on another this -
a#button2 {{ styles }
See how that works?
With javascript, put this in script tags in the head of the
document -
function P7_downImage() {{
var g7="<imagename>"
var g7url="<pathname>"
if ((g7=MM_findObj(g7))!=null) {{g7.src=g7url;}
and this on the <body> tag
onload="P7_downImage()"
Then on each page you would need to make two edits:
Set g7 to the *name* of the button (not the file name but the
HTML name -
e.g., "productsbutt"), and g7url to the pathname to the
button (e.g.,
"images/nav/button3.gif"), and bada bing, bada boom!
There is an excellent tutorial here -
http://www.projectseven.com/support/answers.asp?id=126
This will allow you to keep the navigation in non-editable
regions of the
template page....

Dynamic navigation bar

Hello. I am in the process of developing a site that will be
expanded frequently in the future. I would like to have the
navigation bar of every page update when I add new pages. How is
this best done? I am not planning on using a database here so I
want to use straight html.
Thanks, and I hope I made my question clear enough.

A server-side include is another page that is inserted into
your web page.
That way when you make a change to the server-side include,
you would only need to change it, and upload it, and not every page
that
it is included on.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Side_Includes
Be sure to read the external links for the scripting language
your web host supports.

Navigation Bars

How do I add a secondary navigation bar to a page. In
Dreamweaver MX 2004 The Missing Manual (p590-591) it says it can be
done by using nested templates.
• Create master template with logo, sitewide nav bar,
and editable region for the sidebar and main content area
• Create a nested template leaving the content area as
is
• Add the secondary nav bar to the sidebar area.
Sounds simple but when I try to insert nav bar I get a
message telling me there can only be one nav bar per page.
Anyone know how of if this can be done?
Thanks for your help.

Very nice work! I like the clean look and layout. Congratulations!

Using navigation bar in manual mode

Im trying to create a secondary Navigation bar onto a page called 'projects' I have created two child pages on the map called 'selected works' and '2012-13' and when i try to add a navigation bar the only pages that link are the main ones. Is there a way to overcome this? I have tried using the manual mode, however when previewd this hasn't been working.
Many thanks

Hi Philip,
Are the child pages showing up in the menu? What is the "Menu option" for the child pages you have created?
