Help needed with Css and JS accordion script

**adventuredon** · 07-28-2010, 05:21 PM

1) ddaccordion:

2) http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...nu-glossy.htm:

3) I have managed to screw up my navigation somehow. See www.free-me.com for what I don't want! I had a menu working and well you know how it goes. So I have now downloaded a new script and all's well so far. But when I try to add more sub headings under different levels (only 2 deep, i.e top level and subfolder) the formatting goes all pete tong. I have copied and pasted and some of it works but others don't. It ois very frustrating. I am using dreamweaver in split mode to write the menus etc. I attach my code below . It is not complete as no point finishing what isn't working. Why am i not able to add and edit menus as I need to ? I basically want 6 or 7 top level headings with 4 or 5 sub menus underneath. Can it be so hard?

anyone please help. I have been at this for ages! I see 52 looked but no one had any ideas...
Oh Well, heres hoping:
My menu structure works and links open the correct docs etc, but in a new browser window. Is there a way to force it to open on same window, even using frames?

I can't do much as I'm on my phone but what happens if you put target="_parent" in all the anchor tags?

Hi Adventuredon -

Are you still needing help with the whole menu? If so, try this. You'll need to substitute the appropriate urls - I did take your headings and some page locations off your sample:


<div class="glossymenu">


<a class="menuitem" href="http://www.free-me.com/">Home</a>



<a class="menuitem submenuheader" href="http://www.free-me.com/">Adventure Trips </a>
<div class="submenu">
<ul>
<li><a href="Old Web/Wye Paddling.htm" >Paddling the Wye </a></li>
<li><a href="Old Web/alpine.htm" >Alpine Mountaineering </a></li>
<li><a href="Old Web/brittany.htm" >Canoeing Brittany </a></li>
<li><a href="Old Web/canada.html" >Canada and USA </a></li>

</ul>

</div>


<a class="menuitem submenuheader" href="yourURL">Educational Trips </a>
<div class="submenu">
<ul>

<li><a href="page1.htm" >Page 1</a></li>
<li><a href="page2.htm" >Page 2</a></li>
<li><a href="page3.htm" >Page 3</a></li>
<li><a href="page4.htm" >Page 4</a></li>

</ul>
</div>


<a class="menuitem submenuheader" href="yourURL">Motorbike Tours </a>
<div class="submenu">
<ul>

<li><a href="page1.htm" >Page 1</a></li>
<li><a href="page2.htm" >Page 2</a></li>
<li><a href="page3.htm" >Page 3</a></li>
<li><a href="page4.htm" >Page 4</a></li>

</ul>
</div>


<a class="menuitem submenuheader" href="yourURL">Ski Trips</a>
<div class="submenu">
<ul>

<li><a href="page1.htm" >Page 1</a></li>
<li><a href="page2.htm" >Page 2</a></li>
<li><a href="page3.htm" >Page 3</a></li>
<li><a href="page4.htm" >Page 4</a></li>

</ul>
</div>


<a class="menuitem submenuheader" href="yourURL">Upcoming Ski Trips</a>
<div class="submenu">
<ul>

<li><a href="page1.htm" >Page 1</a></li>
<li><a href="page2.htm" >Page 2</a></li>
<li><a href="page3.htm" >Page 3</a></li>
<li><a href="page4.htm" >Page 4</a></li>

</ul>

</div>


<a class="menuitem" href="yourURL">Photo Galleries</a>


</div>

I'll look at the question of new windows...by default that script should open pages in the same window though.

it just loads a new window./ I am now re creating framesets like crazy and trying to get it working. At times it works locally, but when uploaded it screws up..see www.free-me.com for an explanation. I just want to marry the 2 pages you'll see up. thanks.

One of your problems is the iFrame code. It's throwing errors galore:

myiframe is undefined
[Break on this error] myiframe.location.replace(header.getAttribute('href'))

In my Firebug console, it just keeps throwing the same error - over 8200 before I closed it!

Try taking out that code and see what happens before you do anything else.

Why do you need a frameset? They're really problematic.
