| I wanted to integrate a website I coded "by hand"
into Dreamweaver MX. So far so good, however,
a page that references a .js DOM file is causing
lots of trouble, in fact it crashes the whole thing.
Your help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you.

| If you rpage worked "just fine" when coded by hand then it should work "just
fine" if you open it in DW. DW is just an editor. there is no integration
necessary if you properly coded the HTML.
There is most likely a problem in the DOM references in your JS file. ut as
you have not posted any files nor any code ther eis no way to tell.
Also you should include a description of what you are trying to do and exactly
what the problem is. Does it occur in both IE and Mozilla? Only in Safari?
Does it work in Opera? There are many questions that need to be answered by yo
before we can give you tips or advice.

| Thanks for the answer. It renders fine in IE6, but it is a complete mess
in DWeaver. All it does is activate a drop down menu using DOM objects.
Here comes the .JS and the file that calls it.
I had to truncate the file at ...
<html> <head><title> deTOOL </title>
<LINK rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="linko.css">
<script language="JavaScript" src="dom.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
var timer, closing = true;
function closeMenu() {
closing = true;
timer = setTimeout('closeMenuAll()',500);
}
function keepOpen() {
closing = false;
clearTimeout(timer);
}
function closeMenuAll() {
if (window.DOMObjects && closing) {
for (var i=0; i<DOMObjects.length; i++) {
if (DOMObjects[i].id != 'toolbar')
DOMElementHide(DOMObjects[i]);
}
}
}
function openMenu(menu, x, y) {
if (window.DOMObjects) {
for (var i=0; i<DOMObjects.length; i++)
if (DOMObjects[i].id != 'toolbar' && DOMObjects[i].id != menu)
DOMElementHide(DOMObjects[i]);
keepOpen();
DOMElementSetLeft(DOMObjects[menu],xOffset + x);
DOMElementSetTop(DOMObjects[menu],yOffset + y);
DOMElementShow(DOMObjects[menu]);

| par:
Can you post a URI to the page?
You are using <span> tags as positioned elements?
You are using <layer> tags?
You have two <body> tags?
You have embedded styles in the body?
I'd say DW is a bit confused by your handcoding style.

Don't laugh.... I shaved my teeth working on it,

Can you recommend a good book?
I picked up Betsy Bruce's and it is just about
a nightmare! arghhhh!!!
Thank you for your time

| Sorry to hear about your teeth. Sadly, it didn't work! 8(
Your default page has this *only* -
<frameset rows="98,*" frameborder="0" border="0" scrolling="0">
<frame src="tools.htm" name="tools">
<frame src="main.htm" name="main">
</frameset>
Before giving up on DW, you should get out your HTML books.

| Like I said, it wokrs well in IE6, the framset code is enough
for that frame, I ahve another frame defined in the same
fashion.
Thanks for the pointers.
I don't have the 2004 version, are those books
backwards compatible?
