1. Downloaded from Milconic w/site the Milconic MENU (zip file). Which located itself - c:\unzipped\menu_sample1_ver5_770[2]
2. Imported to my ACTIVE MAIN website [url]
http://www.aneirin.com the 4 Javascript files. Lodged at the MAIN directory as below -
Aneirin (MAIN)
Files
QuickSiteImages
3. Created a TEST Page.
4. Whilst in the TEST page inserted following code (unaltered) in the HEAD
Code: Select all
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="milonic_src.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<script language=JavaScript>
if(ns4)_d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=mmenuns4.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
else _d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=mmenudom.js><\/scr"+"ipt>"); </script>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="menu_data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
5. Saved/Published ALL. On viewing got (for all that I can recall/explain), a hyperlinked menu asking me to click on a link to create a new menu etc (in an internet published page).
When I opened a new internet session & reopened my ACTIVE MAIN website [url]
http://www.aneirin.com the home/index page was displaying as mentioned in 5.
Although my original INDEX page still there and viewable in EDIT mode.
ACTION- (To resolve & start over again) -
1. Deleted 4 Javascript files and TEST page. Everything reverted (specifically the home/index page) of my MAIN website reverted to normal as it should be.
LATER TODAY
1. Created a DUMMY website.
Repeated above Steps 1, 2, 4 & 5.
Published result produced the 'Milconic Menu Beginner Property Diagram' (menu only). With drop down menus relating to Milconic.
Is this what one should expect when going through the Beginner Guide at 'Installation' Step 3?
Then attempted to progress through Beg Guide to 'Editing your Menus' section. Understand general concept discussed. Went to carry out
Entering Text Into Menu Items
Open up the menu_data.js file if it isn’t already open and scroll down to where you see the main menu block of code (above). The text that appears in each menu item is declared in each aI string where you see “text=Home;
To change the text simply delete the text “Home” between the equals= and semicolon; and replace it with whatever you wish to appear in the first menu item of the menu.
Save the file and load up your page with your web browser to see the change.
Question (at this point):
If I have my DUMMY website
http://www.tilly.homestead.com OPEN, 4 Javascripts lodged in this sites MAIN DIRECTORY - HOW do I open menu_data.js file
? to
To change the text simply delete the text “Home” between the equals= and semicolon; and replace it with whatever you wish to appear in the first menu item of the menu.
Save the file and load up your page with your web browser to see the change.
Quesiton:
Is this step done whilst within my DUMMY website (I tried and wouldn't open it)?
Then I went to the javascript files located at c:\unzipped\menu_sample1_ver5_770[2], made the above modification (in Notepad). Re-imported it to my DUMMY website and saved over original.
Not successful to see change per Entering Text Into Menu Items.
Question:
Could this be because this part is being trialled by myself in a DUMMY website with no other content? I thought it would be safer for a fool like me.
I know that Notepad from Milconic notes can present problems. The only other editing program I know of is to - Select start/run/cmd - that I don't know what to do with. I've not got or had editing program experience.
I think I need a step by step description of what programs should be open at what stage and how and what results I should expect to see firstly for Installation Step 3, then how to view & what programs to have open in order just to even go through Milconic Guide - 'Entering Text Into Menu Items' & continue on from there.
I am so sorry & am sure you may be bashing that keyboard and cursing me. I am competent with computers but as mentioned DHTML & CSS are not an area I've explored before and I also don't know what to expect as I try to go through the Milconic Beg Guide. I'm sure I would when I've completed the steps right.
If you can assist I'd be ever so grateful. Again so sorry I'm such a pickle. Trying and I want to get there. I do understand if you don't want or are up to replying
I'd be strangling me as well at this stage.
