Menus go up not down
      #358531 - Sun Jul 22 2007 10:31 AM

Here goes…. I posted earlier regarding the problem of not being able to view my site in my browser. This problem still has not been resolved, sometimes I can view the site in IE sometimes I cannot. No rhyme nor reason to this and I accept that for the moment I can live with it.

The problem that I hope you can help me with relates to the “drop down menu” script that I am using. I built the menu using CoffeeCup Free DHTML Menu Builder. Simple to use and you just need to cut and paste the code. Having built the menu I pasted the code into each page and tested it and it all worked fine. I then uploaded the site and had a look. The menus work OK except that on all but one page the menus unfold upwards and not drop down as they are supposed to. I have checked the code line for line against the code in the page that works correctly……they are identical. Can anyone suggest a way of resolving this as I would like the menus to drop down.
Site = www.fckensington.co.uk and the /policies.html page is the one that works OK

As a secondary problem I did try to create a “menu.js” file and a link to that on each page so that if I updated the navigation I would not have to edit code on every page, but just could not get it to work whatever syntax I used. Could anyone point me in the right direction or suggest the correct code
Thanks for taking the time to consider my problems
If I hair I would have pulled it out by now.

To be honest, I'm not a fan of the free CC menu because it's a bit too temperamental... it doesn't work at all in Firefox because of the Doctype declaration that you're using.

The drop-downs should work normally if you change this value to 0:

Code:
var MenuWrap=1;	// enables/ disables menu wrap 1 or 0



Here's an explanation of how to create an external javascript file: http://www.hypergurl.com/jsfiles.html

I use Easy Menu for all my drop down menu's.

Works nice in IE and FireFox. Does need some tinkering around with though

Guys, thanks for taking the time to take a look and advise. The menus now do what they are supposed to do. One last question, how do I modify the site so that the menus appear in Firefox? Can I change the “Doctype declaration” that you mentioned?
Cheers

And for me. Check you have JS enabled in Firefox. It would explain the problems

Guys, thanks for taking the time to look and comment. I have now changed the entire menu structure using ULTIMATE DROPDOWN MENU VERSION 3.5. It a script that i have used before. It works and it is easy to use. I suppose the moral of the story is "If it aint broke dont fix it. If its broke ask you guys"
Cheers
