cant find menu

[parahandy]

Sorry Dave my brain seems to have seized up. Have you no pals nearby who know about html coding? I know how to correct your code to point it to the
correct place in your server but cannot for the life of me explain how to do it.
I have attempted to change your code as you will see, the reference to the src= does now not point to your desktop it should find the files on your server that is if you uploaded them to your personal web page.Did you?
also I am floundering a bit here OLD AGE no doubt. Can you send the file as a .html to me I cannot for some reason convert the source file you sent me my editor does not allow me to save it as an html file. Or better still is there not some more knowledgeable person out there can come to our rescue. It would have been better if you had posted this in the webstyle forum as well.Dave. phew!

Hi

Your issue I suspect is with your path structure within your site definitions.

So first what version of DW are you using?

second check your site definition

Are your links relative to document or site root

(Ok at the risk of treating you like ...

on thetop bar select site---- manage sites then select your site and proporties- it's half way down

If you have selected site root then thats your problem select relative to document.


If thhat doesn't work post me a url and I'll help you sort it.

cheers

Dave... you are a person that can never be a spammer

Your sites link is www.irishwebcreations.com NOT www.irisjwebcreations.com
either that or you just haven't uploaded anything yet

when I am saving the menu in the save graphic option, where abouts should I save it.
I am using DW8 and am relatively new to it, so sorry if I am a bit slower thn m,ost in realising my mistake.
Still have not got anywhere with it, where do I changethe path to the file in the HTML or somewhere else, is there a way of saving the menu lke the banner qand logo and it will save it so it will appear when I upload it on the server, sorry again but I appreciate you r help.

Hello daveball, first of all let me correct your website link: it's http://www.irishwebcreations.com/ (you forgot the .com).

To correct your source you just need to refer it to the relative place on your computer or server.

For example. Lets say your website is stored inside a directory called website.
In that directory you have the index.html file. If you put your menu there you would refer it by it's name, i.e. your image name is menu.gif you would refer to it as menu.gif.

If you have a subfolder named menu (i.e. you have the website folder, inside of which you have the index.html, then you have the subfolder called menu in which you have the menu.gif file).

In that case you'll refer (from the index.html) that menu.gif file the following way: src="menu/menu.gif"

Everything is relevant to your main html (index.html), so if you have the files put at the same directory the index.html is, you simply type the name of the file. If your file is stored in your subfolder you put the name of the folder i.e. subfolder/filename.filetype

Hope that helps.

Availor.
