HELP with Menumaker!!!

[mogal]

ok, I've bought the xara menumaker - everything works great, insert btn even shows up in Frontpage - my problem is this.. I design my webs and save them in what menumaker calls my LIVE server - http://localhost - so it won't let me insert the menu from that call up - so I've opened the page in the /inetpub/wwwroot/ folder and it allows me to insert it. HOWEVER, when I close the page from that site after saving it, and then reopen it - all I have is a little box with a red x in it where the menu was. I can publish the site and it loads and everything... its just that the menu bar is gone with I reopen in fp ... what am I doing wrong?? tia

Menu Maker has its quirks. I found that the best thing to do is to save your files in a new project folder. Then take those files and load them to your website. To make changes to the menu again - go to the last folder you made changes in and load the menu from it. You must be careful about the project names you give to these.

I don't know what changes you are making - but if you take a look at the javascript file that is created, there are a lot of changes you can make without having to open menu maker.


For instance - to drop a menu item from the menu - simply put to forward slashes // to the left of the line with the code for the button you don't want to use right now. This can be done quite simply using notepad.

You can also update your links by using the javascript file instead of MenuMaker. They are clearly represented in the file - just make sure that you have word wrapping turned off and they will be easy to see. Try playing around with the code a bit and you will see.

Hope this helps....
