NavBar help!

[bsharke9]

I have setup seven menu buttons and saved them. It is saved as an html file on my desktop. If I ftp it to my server it does not show up in my browser. It seems all the files are showing in the graphics folder are not being saved. Isn't there an upload button that I can upload all these to my server or what is my next step after saving these buttons. Please ignore my ignorance of the program Any help will be greatly appreciated

Lots of viewers but not an answer can't be that tough with the experts. Your replies will be greatly appreciated.

Hi

Sorry - this is a quiet area so it can take a day or two before a user picks it up.

The point is that it is the graphics files (gif or jpg) that need to be ftp'd. You will need to open the html files in a text editor and copy the useful bits into the pages for your site. Don't do it the other way round - putting any existent content into the WS-generated files - as any rebuilding of your navbar will trample over your own content.

Thanks for the help. Here are the files being saved. But when I save them to my desktop to ftp them there is only one file ".js" These are files that are being saved but I suppose I have to upload them but I cannot find the temporary files. The first four I have uploaded.

Firstly I don't use webstyle so I could be wrong, and apologies if this is already known, but it looks to me like the files are being saved to the temp folder in local settings.
[EG: C:\document and settings\username\local settings\temp]
Assuming windows XP then by default this directory is hidden - you cannot see it with windows explorer unless you change the 'tools - folder options - view' setting to show hidden files.

You can try doing a search for them - again you will need to make sure that advanced settings in search has both system files and hidden files options ticked - if that does not find them, are you running a utility that would automatically clear the temp folder, as in some 'privacy' programs that remove your tracks as you work?

The more sensible thing(!) would be when you save them, to put them in a better place eg somewhere within the My Documents area.

agree

like I say, I don't have the program, but presumably you can choose where to save them bsharke9?
