Help with Templates

Hi thanks for that.

I really am new to DreamWeaver and website building I-did not know my page had so many errors!

I will have a go at fixing it.

Thanks for your help

Your success with using DW will depend directly on the dilligence with which
you study HTML and CSS. The more you know about these two, the easier DW
will become. These links may help -

Thanks for those links,some good stuff there. Will certainly have a study!

I have been trying things out on my site.

If I create the menu spry menu as normal and add two different Spry menus on
the same page they work fine.

However if I try and add the second spry menu as a Libary Item or server side
include I get the same problem of either one of the menus not expanding.

So for example 1 page has 2 spry menus inserted as normal and both menus work
frine.

The other page has 1 spry menu as normal and 1 spry menu included as a SSI or
Libary item and I have problems.

I have checked both the HTML and CSS codes and they both come out Exactley the
same.

However if I try and add the second spry menu as a Libary Item or server
side
include I get the same problem of either one of the menus not expanding.

That's because you are not doing the addition correctly. Try this -

1. Create the page with two Spry menus on it that you describe below where
the menus work fine.
2. Look at the code. Especially, look at the javascript inclusions on the
page.
3. That javascript MUST be on the page that is to receive the Library item
or SSI before you insert them.
4. The second spry menu MUST be named with a unique name, and the
javascript must be adjusted to reflect that name.

I bow down to your wisdom sir!

Thanks for all your help.

If you could just answer one more question please.

My site is going to have a lot of different menus- what method would you recommend using Libary items or Server side includes?

Use server side includes... that way, changes to the menu will not mean
uploading the pages to the server. All you have to do is upload the ssi
file. Menus in library items will need each affected page to be uploaded
again.

Thanks JayJay.

I will be use Server Side includes then.
