Default Navigation Bar: Dreamweaver MX - 11-09-2004 , 11:19 AM





Hi, I created a navigation bar using the Dreamweaver wizard and with several
(image_on, image_off) .gif files etc. I only wanted the image_off state to be
on the target page (link). When I click my button image (image_on) using the
index.cfm file, the linked file which is abc.cfm should have this button in the
'off state'. Can someone clue me in to what I did wrong, as the abc.cfm file
is showing (image_on.gif). I do not want mouseover effects, just a simple color
change when on the respective template. Thanks

This will only happen on framed sites. Macromedia should have removed that
feature two releases ago.

Just use simple image swaps for your navigation, and set the down image with
javascript or CSS.

Thanks Murray,

So what your suggesting is use DreamweaverMX and create a rollover effect ,then find a Javascript for the down state.

Cheers

Thanks

Here's how to do it with javascript -

Put this in script tags in the head of the document -

function P7_downImage() {
var g7="<imagename>"
var g7url="<pathname>"
if ((g7=MM_findObj(g7obj))!=null) {g7.src=g7url;}
}

and this on the <body> tag

onload="P7_downImage()"

Then on each page you would need to make two edits:

Set g7 to the *name* of the button (not the file name but the HTML name -
e.g., "productsbutt"), and g7url to the pathname to the button (e.g.,
"images/nav/button3.gif"), and bada bing, bada boom!

Alternatively, if you are doing CSS rollovers (i.e., the images are the
background image of pseudo-class definitions), you can just make sure that
each menu button has a unique id, e.g.,

<a href="c_french.asp" id="button4">French Oak</a><a href="c_european.asp"
id="button5">European Oak</a>

and then use a stylesheet in the head like this -

<style type="text/css">
<!--
#button0 {
color: #F5D1B1;
background-color: #999999;
background-image:url(images/buttondown.gif);
}
-->
</style>

where the button number would just be edited to throw that particular button
'down'. This method also works very nicely with text only CSS rollovers
too....

You can see this latter method here -

Hi Murray I agree on the 'friggin mess' on these webforums. The upload file
utitily was very handy, and it is gone. You would think that someone would
write a script preventing these tables to go a mile wide?. In any case the
commented out body tag is a typo. I found a script very similar on
www.projectseven.com but it does nothing either. I have no errors but no
funtionality. I did the image swap with dreamweaver and did everything
according to instructions, so I am at a loss to explain. I have other JS
scripts running so maybe this is a problem ?. Thanks. <script
language=JavaScript> <!-- function openWindow(url,top,left,width,height){
popupWin = window.open(url, 'remote', 'scrollbars=no,resizable=no,top=' + top +
',left=' + left + ',width=' + width + ',height=' + height); } function
loadCountry(s) { var optValue = s.options[s.selectedIndex].value; if(optValue
!= '-1') window.location.href = optValue; } function AirFormVal() { if(
document.Form1.airlineReservation_flightPlan_1_dep artAirport.value == '' ||
document.Form1.airlineReservation_flightPlan_1_arr ivalAirport.value == '' ) {
