CS3's Site Map Function

I'm not a newbie to creating websites, but I am a newbie to Dreamweaver CS3.
I'm trying to purge our internal Intranet directory of files that aren't used
and am trying to get DW to create a site map of all the files that are linked
so I can weed out the un-needed ones. GoLive used to be able to do that.

But when I follow the directions in the help file and get to the point of
selecting "Map and Files", the only thing the map shows is the index (home)
page. The files side shows all the folders and files. According to the map,
nothing is linked to the index page, but that's not correct. There are loads
of files linked to it.

This morning I even went though the steps of creating a new site using the
Intranet index page and folders. DW picked up all the folders and files but
when I tried to view the Site Map, the same thing happened. Index page only
with no + or - beside it. All these files are on our network, but the server
mounts on my Mac's desktop just like another drive.

I'm pretty frustrated right now and wonder if anyone has an idea of what I'm
doing wrong? I also tried to create the map using Xenu on my PC but that
didn't work either.

Frankly, Xenu is your best bet, and if it's not working for you, then
something is definitely wrong. What happens when you try to use Xenu?

Ahh - have you used all-javascript menus on the index page? That would be
the reason....

Ah...I believe you've solved the riddle. The menus were created by an add-on
for GoLive. The code it wrote was um...difficult to say the least.

Here's a sample for one link:
bbMenu[bbL].bM("m42n0dc4","m285urwj","2008
PROJECTS",128,16,/*URL*/"2008%20projects%20cap%20ex%2025oct07%20final%20po sting.
xls","","","black","#669999","white","white","","" ,"","",1);

Not sure how browsers (especially IE) made sense of it, but they all worked
fine. I'm recreating everything in CSS which should fix the problem. I guess
I'll have to wait until it's recreated before trying to do a site map.

As an aside, I'm pretty disappointed in CS3's CSS dropdown menu capability. I
gave up on it and manually coded everything. Worked fine in Firefox and Safari
but the IE problem was too great. Pop Menu Magic wasn't robust enough and their
tech support said it wouldn't do what I needed so I went with CSS Menu Writer
from Web Assist.

I'm stunned. What did you need it to do?

All-javascript menus are a plague. Many commercial ones inflict this curse
on the unsuspecting, rendering your pages unspiderable.

Murray, what kind of menus are on your two internet site home pages?

I have two different navs. One on the top, one on the bottom. The flyouts on
top go down and to the side, the ones on the bottom go up and to the side. Pop
Menu Magic only supports one nav and they had a small issue with the "drop-up"
flyout.

The down/up flyout could be solved manually but PMM only allows one nav per
page (per their tech support). I asked if maybe I could have one menu with two
main rows, separated by perhaps 400 pixels and they said that wouldn't work
either.

Not sure of the problem, my manually coded CSS ones work fine except in IE.
maybe it's getting them over to IE that's the issue.

CSS Menu Writer lets you have as many navs as you want per page. For example,
I could have 4 or 5 different menus at different spots on the page for an
out-of-the-box creative solution for a site and have no problem doing it.

Granted, I haven't had a chance to use it in-depth yet having just bought it
Friday. We'll see if it lives up to it's billing.

PS. Just now checked your URL. Ooops...sorry. Should have checked before I
said anything.

Why?

Pop
Menu Magic only supports one nav

That is true.
