I checked thru the FAQ's until I found what I thought would get me out of trouble. I copied the example given into the URL for a button. Now when clicked, it tries to open a local file. here's the example given: javascript:var g=window.open('http:\\www.xara.com',null,height='2 00,width=400,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,loca tion=no') Here's the link that it calls: file///c:/my_harddrive/javascript:var g=window.open('http:\\www.xara.com',null,height='2 00,width=400,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,loca tion=no')
Why is this happening?? Any help appreciated.

Can you provide a url address where the problem can be viewed?

The problem is that the graphics of the navbar are saved within a seperate location in comparison to where the web page is saved. In order to fix the problem a very small ammendment would need to be made to the JS file bearing the same name as the set of graphics exported. If you can post the url we can assist you

hello Xara Support,
You are correct in that I am using the .js file from a different folder than the actual menu .html page. Here is a link to the page:
Click here The try the "Virtual Tour" link in the menu.
Thanks

Hi please select to edit the javascript file named menu1.js
Scroll down to the function startmainmenu
you will see the entry
mainMenuItem("menu1_b5",".gif",30,107,loc+"javascr ipt:var g=window.open('http://www.xara.com',null,height='200,width=400,status=ye s,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no')","","Virtual Tours",2,2,"menu1_plain");
This needs to be altered to
mainMenuItem("menu1_b5",".gif",30,107,"javascript: var g=window.open('http://www.xara.com',null,height='200,width=400,status=ye s,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no')","","Virtual Tours",2,2,"menu1_plain");
(the loc variable has been removed)
save the file and replace the existing menu1.js file.
This will resolve the problem.
Thanks

Another problem, if you try the link again, you'll see it opens the popup OK, but the actual window size is incorrect. It is ignoring the height of 200 and opening the window at the max the PC can handle and not 200 pixels as the script suggests.
Any ideas??
Thanks

Dinner worry. I figured this out myself. Seems a simple colon was out of place. I suppose this is a bit of a heads up for the webmaster of the Xara FAQs. The hyphen that appears before the figure 200 needs to be moved too before the word height: ('http://www.xara.com',null,'height=200,width=400,status=ye s,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no')
Thanks again.

Ooops, its actually a hyphen not a colon.
Cheers

ok - I have the same issue as the above - checked my menu.js file and found a lot of +loc in there.. how can I avoid these in the future so I don't need to manually edit the stuff comming out of WS4?
my sites/navbar saved locally are:
c:\sites\domainname\gfx\navbar\ - this is where I save my stuff in ws4 when adding a ws4 object.
Is this wrong?

If the graphics and JavaScript file bearing the same name as the graphics are saved within a seperate location to the web page in which the navbar is inserted then the LOC variable is written within the js file. IN this case the only solution is to edit the js file and remove the loc variable for the button which is invoking the javascript open window object.
