    Default Problem with navigation menu, using a second nav menu - Web Designer 9 Premium

    The main navigation bar works perfect, exept on one page. On this page I use a (second) navigation menu. When I go over this menu or select an item from the menu, the main navigation bar shows only a part of the sub menus. It happens here: http://basketwillebroek.be - go to [Beeldmateriaal]. I hope someone can help me with this problem.

    Hi Sjef01, welcome to TG

    Could you upload your Xar file so we can see it in the editor. To reduce size you can make a copy then delete whatever is not necessary before sending.

    Welcome Jeff,

    Can I ask why you've made this one page different from the rest of your site as many of the top nav buttons have fairly long sub-menus, so why create a different menu for this one page?

    If you really want to do that I'd suggest splitting the site into two with Beeldmateriaal as a site in a sub directory from your main site.

    If it is still too large you can delete all the other pages as I suspect that is all we need.

    Hi Egg Bramhill,

    I did so because in the navigation bar you can't link to layers. Splitting the site in two is a lot of work, because I have to rebuild the 26 layers to pages.

    Never seen this problem before. As soon as you add a link to a layer it kills the main menu.

    I would make those layers into pages.


    • Duplicate the page
    • Delete the unwanted layers
    • Copy the objects from the layer
    • Paste in place onto the MouseOff layer (Control+Shift+V)
    • Delete the copied layer


    You can then link from the main (or a secondary) menu.

    Alternatively, just use a column of links. There is not really any need for a drop down menu there.

    Don't forget to move your "Data" layer below the pop-up layers and set them to close automatically if you do.

    Drwyd,

    Thank you very much for the quick reply. I choose to use a column of links and moved a couple of links to the main menu (Verleden), so I could use the drop down menu there. I set the pop-up layers to close automatically, as suggested. I don't know why I had to move the "Data" layer below the pop-up layers, because it didn't make a difference.

    Thanks again for your help.

    Hi Jef, I was going to suggest your problem was that you had two nav bars on the same layer, which I still think is a problem. However looking at your current site you seem to have this sorted now
