Helpless Some Other Link |
Although I'm sure it's a terribly unwieldy methodology, it works for me
and I've received kudos from customers for the user-friendly, easy
navigation. It is also keyboard-friendly. It looks like I've created
menus for every page, when in reality there's only one.
Ok, so... to get off of the templates, I'm trying to use includes. The
menu, of course, becomes one of those includes. And therein is the rub:
the embedded css on the page does not work on the Included navigation.
So: Is there a way to get that to work?
If not:
I need suggestions on how I can recreate the navigation system I have
now, using pure css and x/html.
I may be able to use the whatever:hover method; I'll play with that
tomorrow. But, how do I create the "you are here" visuals to the
current link, without using dynamic code, or the embedded CSS?
Oh, and it has to be accessible too. Which is why I'm not using canned
Javascript menus. And, probably why I didn't use a hover method when I
created the navigation system in the first place.
Anyway, I hope this makes some sort of sense.

There is no reason for it not to work! A URL would help. It is very likely that the problem is only tangentially related to SSI. If I had to guess (and I do -- did I say a URL would help?) I'd say you've altered the order in which the document gets presented to the browser when you switched from templates to SSI. The answer will be in the details somewhere. |
though, because my website is on a limited intranet, with no access to
the internet.
I'm not sure I can do anything about the order: the styles of course
are in the <head>, and the include is in the body. Unless you are
talking about something else being out-of-order.

The short version: Is there a way to get embedded styles to work on files that are displayed in a page using the shtml Include method? My work intranet site uses Front Page dynamic templates. Please no flames; I'm not a FP fan either but that's the only tool I'm given, and the templates coupled with css made it easy for me (and others) to update the site "wrapper" and menu quickly when adding pages, as the website is close to the bottom of my job-jar. I know html, xhtml and css, but do no yet know any dynamic coding such as javascript, php or asp. I am trying to keep the site simple because the next webmaster may know even less. Anyway. The kind folks who run the web server broke templates when they upgraded the server, and have no intention of fixing it. Ok, so... to get off of the templates, I'm trying to use includes. The menu, of course, becomes one of those includes. And therein is the rub: the embedded css on the page does not work on the Included navigation. So: Is there a way to get that to work?

yet) and that "broke" the page. There was more wrong than what I
noticed at first. So today's adventure was fixing my code so it'd work
with the correct doctype. Now the css works on the included files, and
properly. Woohoo.
So, managed to hit myself with my own cluebat. Hey, whatever works!
