Navigation Bar Problems

Right now there is a gray box behind the “Thermal Equipment” tab located on the left side on the screen. There is a gray box behind every menu option like that throughout the website (Batch Equipment, Continuous Equipment, Heating Systems, ect.) The problem that I am having is with every different web browser you open, the position of this box is different. It either moves up or down so it is no longer centered on the heading. Is there any way to indicate what page you are currently on other then placing a box behind it?

So your question is what else can be used to determine what page the user is on? And im assuming yo You can use underline, bold, a colour change etc. But with html and css you can be pretty limited sometimes. You can also use images created with photo editing software to create an up and down state

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.

UiXML - table navigation bar problem

I'm using a <table> element and am databinding the blockSize, maxValue and value attributes to values returned in a DataObject from a method DataProvider. The tableData attribute is bound to a PagedDataObjectList returned in the same DataObject. So far so good and this all looks fine on first render. My problem happens when I start paging. I have 18 items to display and a blockSize of 5. The navigationBar renders fine until I get to the last page on which there are only 3 items. The navigation bar says 'Previous 3' instead of 'Previous 5'. When clicked, the previous five items are displayed. Is this a known bug?
Thanks
Ian

Hi Arjuna
We don't want to hardcode the blockSize as this will be a user preference setting. This functionality works in 9.0.2 and Chapter 10 (Tables) of the Developer's Guide gives an example of doing exactly this data-binding - and it does say elsewhere that every attribute can be databound. I notice that some changes have been made to the rendering of the navigationBar in UIX 2.1 - could this have introduced a bug?
Incidentally when you do hard code the blockSize and the tableData has not been populated ('(No search conducted)' as per the BLAF standard) the 'next' link of the navigationBar is not disabled.
Thanks
Ian

Navigation bar problem - like many others

I have used Fetch to transfer my iweb page to a server, but no matter what theme i used the navigation bar will not show up, and therefore the other pages are not accessible. Many seem to have had this problem, no one has posted a definitive reason or answer.
I'm using iWeb 2.0.3, MacBook OSX 10.4.11. Here is my website

I have published it to mac.com and it did work. Maybe if I moved the tabs to the bottom they'd leave it alone...can I do that.

Navigation Bar Problem - One tab/page not working

Hi All,
I apologise in advance if this has been covered, my searching skills are lacking today.
I have created a website and uploaded. All is fine, but in my Navigation bar my 2nd last page is having issues.
Once you click on it you cannot click back to any of the previous pages (if that makes sense)
My website is here: www.makeupbyjade.com.au
It is the 'Contact Me' page.
You can click on the page, but once you do, you cannot go back an view another page.
I am very new to the whole IWeb thing and am still trying to find my feet with alot of it. Does anyone know what i have done wrong????
Thank you in advance
Jade

Record set navigation bar problems

I am creating a site using ASP and MySQL. I have created a
Recordset that returns data from my data base. I have created a
'Record set navigation bar' using Dreamweavers 'Insert > Data
Objects > Recordset Paging' feature but it isn't working. If I
print the record set 'total records' binding it returns the value
-1, so when I click on next in the navigation bar it looks back
through the database and returns a record that is not even present
in the SELECT WHERE recordset statement.
How do I get Dreamweaver to return the correct total records
value?
There is a lot of code in the top of the page, I haven't
included it as I don't understand it well enough to know what bits
of code apply to the record count.
Thanks,
Rob

Navigation bar is messed up... how to fix?

Help! My navigation bar looks fine in iWeb, but the site shows the words in the wrong places, with pieces missing, and includes one heading (jean ann pics) that I eliminated from the navigation bar. I continue to make changes and those come out fine, but that navigation bar (just the welcome page) won't be corrected!
site is www.mcelroykin.com
I think that one time when it was publishing there was some kind of error, but I can't recall what it was-- I was on my way out the door...
Any thoughts on how to fix this??
Thanks!!!!!
Liz (frustrated in NC)

Yes! There are multiple versions of files like you suggested. How do I know which ones to keep?
Well, the ones to 'keep' should be inside this folder: iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/McElroyKin/McElroyKin Blog (News)/McElroyKin Blog (News)_files. If you are viewing your iDisk's contents as icons and you have View Options set to show the icon preview, it should be possible to visually identify the navbarXnormal.png and navbarXrollover.png files to delete from other folders and to copy the correct ones from McElroyKin Blog (News)_files — but, and it's a BIG 'but', this would be a painstaking process at best, and would inevitably be prone to error.
I'm afraid my advice is quite radical. I would delete everything in iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb (assuming McElroyKin is your only site) and publish again from iWeb.
While you're at it, might I also offer some advice about naming your Blog page? All the rest of your naming convention is excellent (I especially like the main site name of McElroyKin), but by naming your Blog 'McElroyKin Blog (News)' you're asking for long, ugly URLs like those which are showing up — for example,
http://web.mac.com/bakerlizzie/iWeb/McElroyKin/41F182C9-9B24-42A2-AC53-704C9EAB8 FFA/1316BA2A-99C1-44E5-8F35-0517E4AC5298.html.
Individual blog pages will always finish with that 30-odd-character combination in their URLs, but you can prevent having another one of those earlier in the URL by avoiding certain characters which Apple recommend against using. In this case, I suspect that the parentheses in your Blog name are responsible for this long-windedness, especially when combined with spaces (which, as we all know by now, on their own result in those ugly %20s in iWeb URLs).
Having said all this, I also have to say that I too have experienced this navigation bar problem. I found that the situation righted itself after multiple browser cache-clearings and refreshes and re-publishings. If you're anxious about following my recommendation about deleting material from your iDisk prior to re-publishing from iWeb, you could first try re-publishing a couple of times without making any further changes in iWeb. Empty Safari's cache each time. See if this clears things up. If not, then it's time for the heavy artillery.

Problems inserting a Fireworks navigation bar in Dreamweaver

I designed a navigation bar in Fireworks. When I preview it
works fine and I exported it as a "HTML and Images" file type. I
used Dreamweaver to insert it through Insert, Image Objects,
Fireworks HTML, I browse the html file, but when I click OK it
displays the message: "The selected file is not the correct format.
Please select an HTML file which was exported from Fireworks". What
am I doing wrong. Is it the file format when I export it? Please
help me, I am a rookie with this, have no manuals, no training at
all, just you.

Problem with custom navigation bar

I'm trying to create a custom left navigation bar with adaptive tag. when user click on the link it will direct to a pagelet which is created with page template. How can I do it? I don't understand what is pt:objectid? Where can I look for answer? I just need a simple example. Thank you.

You can get the object id from the "Edit this Community" feature under "My Communities" then look in "properties and names". If you look in the address bar you could also see the objid in there (objId=1234). I was having problems with this too.
What I did was use the ptdata tag like this:
<div id="topNav">
<pt:ptdata.currentcommunityiddata pt:id="currcomm" />
<pt:ptdata.subcommunitiesdata pt:commid="1234" pt:id="subcommunityPages" />
<ul>
<pt:standard.choose>
<pt:standard.when pt:test="isMatch" pt:str1="$currcomm.objid" pt:str2="3217">
<li class="down">
</pt:standard.when>
<pt:standard.otherwise>
<li>
</pt:standard.otherwise>
</pt:standard.choose>
<pt:standard.openerlink pt:objectid="3217" pt:classid="512" pt:mode="2">Home</pt:standard.openerlink>
</li>
<pt:logic.foreach pt:data="subcommunityPages" pt:var="varCommunityPage">
<pt:standard.choose>
<pt:standard.when pt:test="isMatch" pt:str1="$currcomm.objid" pt:str2="$varCommunityPage.objid">
<li class="down">
</pt:standard.when>
<pt:standard.otherwise>
<li>
</pt:standard.otherwise>
</pt:standard.choose>
<pt:core.html pt:tag="a" href="$varCommunityPage.url" title="$varCommunityPage.title">
<pt:logic.value pt:value="$varCommunityPage.title"/>
</pt:core.html>
</li>
</pt:logic.foreach>
</ul>
</div></p>
<p>This is for a community that has subcommunities. you could also do the same thing with pages instead.
Short explaination:
This line sets up a data object for the current community data and assigns it the variable name "currcomm":
<pt:ptdata.currentcommunityiddata pt:id="currcomm" /></p>
<p>This line gets the subcommunities for a particular community (in this case commid="1234" ). You specify which community with the pt:commid.
<pt:ptdata.subcommunitiesdata pt:commid="1234" pt:id="subcommunityPages" /></p>
<p>I used a <ul> for it but you could really do it any way you want.</p>
<p>I added a static "home" tab that will always link to my top level page of the community. this is optional and there may be a better way of doing it:
<pt:standard.choose>
<pt:standard.when pt:test="isMatch" pt:str1="$currcomm.objid" pt:str2="3217">
<li class="down">
</pt:standard.when>
<pt:standard.otherwise>
<li>
</pt:standard.otherwise>
</pt:standard.choose>
<pt:standard.openerlink pt:objectid="3217" pt:classid="512" pt:mode="2">Home</pt:standard.openerlink>
</li></p>
<p>for a link to your page you can use this tag. You can get both the objectid and classid from the "properties and names" page as mentioned above. pt:mode is how/what should be displayed (The action of the link (Opener mode). 1 = Open, 2 = View, 3 =ViewMeta.)
<pt:standard.openerlink pt:objectid="3217" pt:classid="512" pt:mode="2">
I also have a choose in there to test if the current community you're in is the same as the community of the link. That lets me add a class="down" for a down state. </p>
<p>This loops through all the subcommunities and builds a link in this format <li>TITLE OF COMMUNITY</li>. </p>
<p><pt:logic.foreach pt:data="subcommunityPages" pt:var="varCommunityPage">
<pt:standard.choose>
<pt:standard.when pt:test="isMatch" pt:str1="$currcomm.objid" pt:str2="$varCommunityPage.objid">
<li class="down">
</pt:standard.when>
<pt:standard.otherwise>
<li>
</pt:standard.otherwise>
</pt:standard.choose>
<pt:core.html pt:tag="a" href="$varCommunityPage.url" title="$varCommunityPage.title">
<pt:logic.value pt:value="$varCommunityPage.title"/>
</pt:core.html>
</li>
</pt:logic.foreach>
</p>
<p>Hopefully that is what you're trying to do.
Like I said, you can use the same process for pages instead of subcommunities by using the communitypagesdata tag instead of subcommunitiesdata. You could also combine the two and list all the subcommunities with a foreach loop and inside each loop get the pages from the communitypagesdata with the commid set to the subcommunity objid for that subcommunity.</p><p>
THis document is very helpful with PT tags... [url http://e-docs.bea.com/alui/devdoc/docs60/References/API_Libraries/TagDocs/index.html]http://e-docs.bea.com/alui/devdoc/docs60/References/API_Libraries/TagDocs/index.html</p>

HELP/Problems with pull-down navigator bar

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if I could get some input. I have just
re-designed our magazine's site, www.easternsurf.com
I used Pop-Up menu function in Fireworks 8 to generate our
Navigator bar. For the most part everything has been working well,
BUT we've had a couple of complaints that the navigator bar's
pull-down menus get stuck behind the photos/banner ads/etc. instead
of in front of them when viewing in Internet Explorer. I'm on the
Mac platform (OSX Tiger/Macromedia Studio 8) and have seen no
problems viewing in Safari, Firefox and Netscape. The only
complaints have come from Internet Explorer users. A couple of
people updated their browser to the newest version and the problem
disappeared, however we've still had a couple of people that have
written in that the newest version of IE is still not displaying
properly.
Also we've got a strip of button ads running down the left
hand side of each page and I've also seen another issue that's
common on sites of this type...when the pulldown menu overlaps with
a Flash element, there is a problem with the screen re-draw. I've
seen this on several other sites and know it's a common problem,
but does anyone know of a workaround where this won't happen? I
just noticed that signing on to Adobe's site, there almost seems to
be a command where the menu keeps re-drawing at a very rapid rate
so this won't happen.
Any input would be greatly appreciated, although I'm Mac all
the way, we are a business and have to get this site visible for
everyone!
Thanks

Javascript Problems with Navigation Bar

Hello,
The navigation bar created by iWeb uses Javascript. Javascript is turned off on some of the machines that will be visiting my site. Is there a way to tell iWeb to just create the navigation bar with simple html code instead of hand-jamming it into each page myself? Thanks.

Well yes, you can hide your nice navigation bar at the top of the page and create your own text based nav bar. It can look exactly the same as the other if you want it to - you can use the same text and get the same colour, so you can achieve exactly the same look as the other one that you have hidden and put it in exactly the same place. It is just that the one you create will be text based and don't forget to hyperlink your pages too.
I have never used the page template nav bars on my site as they just don't fit and most of the nav bars are at the top of the page anyway and as I have quite a few links on my site, this just does not work. It took me a long time to make my nav bar, as I did all the links individually to look like a drop down menu down the side of my site - I am glad I did though as I like the effect achieved.

Navigation Bar OnClick JavaScript Problem

I tried to create a Navigation Bar to pop up a online help documentation. The sample application can be seen at
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=27294:1
When I debugged the application, I found that the link of Help Navigation Bar points to "http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=27294:#:432121301146634::NO:::"
not as what I defined on OnClick JavaScript for the navigation bar. The Help Window won't pop up.
Please help. Thanks.

CSS navigation bar on MAC - problem with layering?

Hello,
I'm building a Web site with CSS. I'm using a navigation bar
that I found at CSS PLaY (

The flyout menu goes under a page item on the MAC. I have no idea
how to even approach a fix for this. Any suggestions would be much
appreciated.
A sample page is available here:

Lisa -
This is something for your application developers to remedy
-if they can, they need to call the browser window without the
address bar. If it's a web app, they can use the document.open
method, and specify "address=0."
If for some reason that can't be done, you can create a
temporary topic that only exists to redirect the user to a window
of your own, with the document.open method, and no address bar.
Your original startup window, with all the toolbars stuff, closes
itself after launching the trimmed window.
Not sure what an internet server would do for you in this
case - are you trying to keep folks off the web, or out of a server
area?

With version 5 of Firefox, if I open more than 1 session, most of the time I cannot see anything in the navigation bar and my back and forward buttons do not work.

I open 1 session of Firefox 5.0.1 and everything seems to work fine. Then I open a second session of Firefox and most of the time the navigation bar does not show the page that I am on and the back and forward buttons do not work. When this happens, the first session always remains working. I am an internet marketer so I have at least 2 or 3 sessions going at any given time.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
