POP UP MENU ISSUE HELP ! : (

here is my problem
http://www.phenster.com/intuitionbeachwear.com/JB/JB1.htm
I created 2 different pop up menus but when i place them on the same page , It
is not differentiating between the two different pop up lists, so it shows the
same pop up menu no matter what I do.

It appears that both of your buttons are cuing the same named menu. Maybe it is
a problem in naming your menus? I do suggest learning Project 7's pop-up menu
method. It will work much better for you. Do a forum search or a google search,
there are lots of links to their site.

Here ya go -

or

and here's an example you can analyze -

Here's why you'd wanna do that -

I named every link different , maybe when im calling it javascript ??

I went to project &'s site and id have to drop 60 bucks on something that
might have the same issue. darn....

I didn't have to pay for anything. Are you sure you were looking at the right thing?

Ah, yes, go to the link Murray provided. If you read the page, it requires the FREE plugins that are listed about half way down the page.

maybe , ill have to read all the info on all the links provided.

It a bit overwhelming for such a simple task.

but ill do what it takes .

I thought this might ba a common problem.

THANK YOU! : )

Trust me, it is worth the time investment to learn this method. It will save you many headaches and allow multi-layered dropdowns in the future if you want to use them.

is this what i need , im a bit confused..

To complete the online tutorial you'll need to download and install three free
extensions and the PVII Positioned Menu Work Folder zip archive:

Auto Layers

SnapLayers

Auto Hide Layers

Work Folder

To create pop-up, drop-down, fly-out menus, you really need nothing other
than Dreamweaver and an understanding of the methods taught there.

The concept is simple. Each submenu is in a hidden layer, properly
positioned on the page under their parent menu option. Mousing over each
menu option shows the associated layer (if any), and hides all the rest of
them.

This couldn't get any simpler. But there is one problem - once you have
shown a submenu, and then moused into it, how do you hide it?

One way would be to use a 'closer' layer: a layer that is *UNDER* all the
rest of the menus, contains a transparent GIF image larger than the entire
menu, and has a show/hide behavior on it that hides *ALL* the submenus,
including itself. It works like this. Showing any submenu, you will also
show the closer. Hiding any submenu, you will also hide the closer. And if
you mouse off a submenu, you will mouse over the closer layer and trigger
everything to close.

Another way would be to use the AutoHide extension. This is applied to the
body tag onLoad, and it will be triggered anytime you mouse off a submenu,
causing it to hide - no closer layer involved.

Finally, if you have alot of submenu layers, it can get complicated showing
and hiding them all the time. That's where the AutoLayers comes in. Use it
to show your submenu layer, and it automatically hides all the rest.

So - the combination of AutoLayers and AutoHide is the easy EASY way to make
these menus.
