I need some help bad, I am almost done making my website and I cant get this code thing to work. I want to use this code: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...opdownview.htm

the links show up, but the viewer to view the site isnt. Please help me and tell me what I am doing wrong.

I add the code to my website like it says and it isnt working. I tried it in mozilla firefox and internet explorer.

1) Posting in the wrong forum. This belongs in the Dynamic Drive Scripts Help section. Don't worry about that too much, the moderator will move it if he thinks it is important. In the future, try to pick the most appropriate forum for your posts.

2) Not supplying a link to your page. How can we be sure what is wrong if we cannot see your code?

This script has a configuration area:

Code:

//Specify display mode (0 or 1)
//0 causes document to be displayed in an inline frame, while 1 in a new browser window
var displaymode=1
//if displaymode=0, configure inline frame attributes (ie: dimensions, intial document shown
var iframecode='<iframe id="external" style="width:95%;height:400px" src="http://www.yahoo.com"></iframe>'

The most likely reason you are having the problem you indicate is that you haven't changed this value to 0. If that is not it, we really need to see your code.

for some reason the code you gave me worked! how did you do that? because I was trying to get this one to work: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...switchmenu.htm

but it came out like this: http://www.geekfreaks.net/shar/test.html

Thanks

It was just the most logical choice. As for:

http://www.geekfreaks.net/shar/test.html

Best thing there would be to delete it and start over. The code is so mangled, it would be difficult to fix. The main problem being that the original line breaks of the code have been changed beyond recognition. Line breaks can be very important in javascript. I also noticed that the above test.html lacks basic things like opening and closing <html></html> tags. Best to start out with at least a valid HTML page before you go adding codes to it.

I deleted it and tried again and the same thing, jscheuer1 helped with the first one by giving me that code thing.

Syntax error?

Try this:

HTML Code:

<head>

.menutitle{
cursor:pointer;
margin-bottom: 5px;

I think you added an extra "}" - So it won't show.
