Thanks in advance for all assistance!

My testing link: http://www.clm1.org/NewWeb/index.htm

I've loaded up a couple of pages for testing purposes. The problem is with images I use on the main menu. If you move to one of the subpages, I'm losing the images. Any ideas??

Subpage: http://www.clm1.org/NewWeb/AboutCLM/Mem ... nefits.htm

Thanks!!

First problem is you're way down-level. You are running RC31, and current is RC40. Upgrade.

As to the graphics, your pathing is wrong. As you have it now, it is document-relative (Elements/Menu/about_rg.gif). At the root level it looks for http://www.clm1.org/NewWeb/Elements/Menu/about_rg.gif and finds it OK. When you move to a different level it now looks for http://www.clm1.org/NewWeb/AboutCLM/Mem ... out_rg.gif, which is not where your graphics are located. You need server-relative addressing, which is simply...

Code: Select all

/NewWeb/Elements/Menu/about_rg.gif

This forces the server to start looking for things from the root level, regardless of where the page is located.

Don't forget the arrow as well!

Thanks a ton, John!

Was trying to get away with not having to do that... as you see I'm building this in a temp location. Ah, well. =)

I've also uploaded the new build, boss. =)

Thanks again!

You're welcome.

Also, somewhere in the early 30's (I think!) a few minor changes were made to the data file syntax. You might want to compare the sample _data.js file in the download against yours just to be sure - small stuff, ';' additions and placement, etc.

Scratch that. Just looked at what you have and it is correct.

However, I would suggest taking the...

Code: Select all

<script language="JavaScript" src="Script/milonic_src.js" type="text/javascript"></script>	
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
if(ns4)_d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=Script/mmenuns4.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");		
  else _d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=Script/mmenudom.js><\/scr"+"ipt>"); 
</script>

...out of the <td> (leave only the _data call there) and move it up to the first items after <body>.
