Multiple Styles Menu - script problem

Post by happyhappy83 »

http://amandame_4.tripod.com/id14.html is my site that the menu I'm questioning now is on. In the beginner's section, Maz said that if you decide to change the name of the menu_data.js file, you'll need to change the script there, too. How do I do that:?: I have the menu the way I want in Notepad under trltrackerz2.txt. How do I get the scripts to recognize that file? :?

I don't know the editor you are using.

I can point out in the source if you can edit it.

Right now the script is up too high, it would be better to move it down just after the <body> tag.

I think you need to clean up the code, your editor has created too many <html><head></head> tags, there should only be one html at the begining and one at the end. one <head> and </head> followed by <body> taking you down to </body></html>

Code: Select all


<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="http://amandame_4.tripod.com/trltrackerz-scripts/milonic_src.js " type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<script language=JavaScript>
if(ns4)_d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=http://amandame_4.tripod.com/trltrackerz-scripts/mmenuns4.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
else _d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=http://amandame_4.tripod.com/trltrackerz-scripts/mmenudom.js><\/scr"+"ipt>"); </script>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="http://amandame_4.tripod.com/trltrackerz-scripts/menu_data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>

Code: Select all

</body>
</html>
<!-- /\ end html  -->
   
</body>
</html>
<!-- /\ end html  -->
   <html>
<head>
where it says menu_data.js is where you can change the file name.

but you really need to get rid of all those extra tags after, move the script down under <body>

I'm not sure if this helps you,

Maz is correct. There appears to be 2 copies of the page code, only one of which contains the menu calls.

Also, you have "http://amandame_4.tripod.com/trltrackerz-scripts/milonic_src.js ". That trailing space should not be there. Should be "http://amandame_4.tripod.com/trltrackerz-scripts/milonic_src.js".

You've got to clean up that HTML. I'm actually surprised it's rendering at all.

You need to save that file out of notepad as straight text (not rtf or anything else - just plain text!), and name it trltrackerz2.js. Actually it's really better left as it comes, but if you must change it then I'd recommend trltrackerz2_data.js. Then change the JS call in your HTML to match that name.

I'm still trying to clean up the code like you said, but I'm lost on how to, and the menu still isn't working. Could someone walk me through how to get a menu like the one on the very top of this page, http://www.likno.com? Or who could walk me through how to get the milonic one I've had to clean up to work ?

I've done some cleaning up, but haven't tested it, so don't throw away your originals. All I did was search for errors.

Keep a copy of what you have, then try these. Unless anyone else spots something here.

Multiple Styles Menu - script problem

Post by happyhappy83 »

Maz, I tested the code you gave me in your last reply, and I can't get it to work. I still cannot get the script portion of the stuff we're supposed to put in the heading for the pages to be recognized to work either.

Help PLEASE! :x :!: :?

Its your script paths, I just checked them by putting in the url for each.
milonic_src.js is not in /trltrackerz-scripts/

but alll the others are.

Place all the scripts in the same folder and check all the paths are corrct.
