rollover images quit working
|
|
| katejlogan 2004-08-19, 8:50 pm |
| Hello,
Could someone take a look at my website (and code) and tell me why my rollover
images won't work on certain pages and work just fine on others.
Rollover images not working: http://eagle.fremont21.k12.wy.us/school.htm
Rollover images working: http://eagle.fremont21.k12.wy.us/who.htm
Any page that was created with my "school.dwt" template, the rollover images
quit working.
I do not have any coding experience so I apologize in advance for what I'm
sure is an elementary mistake.

| The first thing you need to know is that you (as someone who has no coding
experience) have no business using this -
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScriptfunction mmLoadMenus() {
if (window.undefined) return;
- the dreaded noobie killer menus from Macromedia. They will bust your hump
sooner or later.
Your rollovers are not working because the code on your page (and by
implication on your template) is a little dorked.
Honestly, I don't know where to send you from here. If you have no coding
experience, you probably don't WANT to have coding experience, yet to fix
this problem you will need to hack some code.
So - what do you want? Do you want to fix this problem and stay with the FW
menus? Or are you willing to work harder to learn some things?

I, too, am annoyed by this, but we have to keep reminding ourselves that
they know not what they do! :) As much as we love DW, it has these evil
traps that people are tempted by and they have no clue that the sparkly
shimmer of these temptations is only just a lure and that they must turn
away!
Repeat after me, "Forgive them, for they know not what they do." ;)
(I forget sometimes, too...)

| I'm willing to learn. The reason I don't have coding experience is because I
have a job where this website is only a small part of. It is a situation where
I have to keep up this website as part of my job, but not the only part, and a
small part at that.
I'll give some more background. Everything was working fine until I took I
changed my template so the region that the rollovers are in wasn't editable
anymore. That way if I needed to change a link I didn't have to change it on
all the pages created w/ that template. The rollovers quit working after that.
Thank you for being willing to help me out. I feel like such a dumb as* in
these forums becuase I know I need to learn code, but just don't have the time.

Makes imminent sense.
> Rollover images not working: http://eagle.fremont21.k12.wy.us/school.htm
> Rollover images working: http://eagle.fremont21.k12.wy.us/who.htm
These two pages use fundamentally different approaches to menus. The bottom
page is a simple navbar function (actually just image rollovers). The top
page is an implementation of DW/FW pop-up menus and is a mess.
If you want, I can help you fix this page, but when you finish you will
still have a sow's ear for a menu.
Nevertheless, please post the code for this page (/Templates/school.dwt) in
your reply.

| I'll post the template tomorrow when I get to work. Why did I screw everything up when I made that region non-editable anymore? I don't understand why that act made everything so screwy.

| Kate:
I don't believe that had anything to do with it. Someone pasted a second
copy of the menu js into the head of the document, and did it incorrectly.
That's where the screwyness comes from....

| Kate:
Your template is hopelessly munged... You have what appears to be two
different attempts at a FW pop-up menu embedded in the page, and both are
embedded improperly. In addition, the title tag is repeated and the
editable region around it is broken. Nothing on this menu can possibly work
like this, and the only way a page could possibly get in this condition
would be if someone was cutting and pasting in the code.
I don't know which version of the pop-up menus you want to save, but
assuming you want to save the SECOND instance of the menus, I have edited
the page accordingly. You can get it here -
http://www.great-web-sights.com/test/kate.zip
Please unzip this file (test.dwt), and save it in your site's TEMPLATES
folder. Spawn a child page from it, and tell me if this is the correct
version of the menu....
