Re: Using Fireworks JS menu in Dreamweaver

menu that I could easily update

This statement is inconsistent with this one -

use a menu from Fireworks

This menu system is badly flawed, and as a newbie, it will drive you beyond
the bend.

If you want to know why, please read this carefully -

If you want to spend an hour learning how to create your own menus in a very
easy to maintain way, and in a way that is compatible with templates, then
follow the tutorials here -

or

and here's an example you can analyze -

Converting site from FrontPage to Dreamweaver. Wanted to have a drop
down
menu that I could easily update (or have someone in the office update)
without
having them to know much about Dreamweaver or Fireworks. I do not mind
doing
this myself - but want to keep the process simple. This menu is for a
store
and will be updated on a regular basis.

When I placed the initial fireworks html I made one big mistake. I did
not
set it up using a template.

I have since tried putting the menu into a Library file that I could go
back
and insert into all 170-some-odd pages, but the menu does not seem to work
on
the pages I have tested it on (I always get a runtime error).

What (if any) options do I have to be able to use a menu from Fireworks
that I
can update on a regular (bi-weekly) basis without having to reinvent the
site
each time.

I'm sure that there must be something out there that as a newbie I am
completely clueless on.

Thank you all in advance for you help.
