cant find menu

[Availor]

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.

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

[daveball]

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.

Your very good, many thanks, I haved changed the site properties so that the links are saved in the site root but this has done nothing, is this a popular mistake people are making as its not so obvious.
thanks in advance for the help you are giving me, you are very good I look forawrd to hearaing from you

Within your site definition in Dreamweaver 8


select link relative to document that makes the link relative to the document on the screen.

I'm assuming you have used the Dreamweaver extension to insert the webstyle object from within your dreamweaver page.

So in the example I sent you ifI delete the code you are not interested in you get

img src="Irish_Web.gif" editor="Webstyle4" moduleid="irish (Project)\Irish_Web.xws" border="0" />

this tells the browser that the graphic irish_web.gif is in the same directory as the html file calling it.

<div align="center"><img src="Since_2003.gif" editor="Webstyle4" moduleid="irish (Project)\Since_2003.xws" border="0" />

Same again -



<script webstyle4>document.write('<scr'+'ipt src="xaramenu.js">'+'</scr'+'ipt>');document.write('<scr'+'ipt src="menu_.js">'+'</scr'+'ipt>');/*img src="menu.gif" moduleid="irish (Project)\menu_off.xws"*/</script>
</div>

Again it is saying that the broweser will look for since_2003.gif, xaramenu.js and menu.gif at the same leval as the html file.

You change this when you exit webstyle because it asks you where you want to save the document because it asks you where you want to save it.

create a directory and unzip the file I sent you and look at the code and file location

Hope this clears the mud a bit.

sorry to annaoy u but I hav had no luck.
Why is it that if I save the banner and logo to the same file location they appear when uploaded to the server they appear only when I sasve the nav bar that wont appear, and the end of my tether here.
I know Im going to kik myself when I finally cop on .
Do i now have to g ointo the code menu in and change it phyciacally or can I just change the place in which I save the file, Im new to dreamweaver so Im not that confident in changing it, thanks agin hope u can help again, cheers
