Is it possible to use javascript behaviors to open up specific sized popups with the f-source Macromedia Style menu?
Answer:
Of course,
the menu can execute any javascript function.
Recomended way to do this:
- menu button code <div><a href='javascript:myFunction1()'>Test JavaScript</a></div>
(write in the Link field of the UI - javascript:myFunction1()
- Add the script to your page
<script type="text/javascript">
function myFunction1(){
top.consoleRef=window.open('download','Download_window','width=350,height=250,left='+(screen.width-350)/2+',top='+(screen.height-350)/2+',menubar=0,toolbar=0,status=1,scrollbars=1,resizable=1');
top.consoleRef.document.writeln('<html><head><title>test
window</title></head><body bgcolor="#ffffff"
onLoad="self.focus()">test</body></html>');
top.consoleRef.document.close()
}
</script>

How to load menu settings in Dreamweaver?
A couple of weeks ago, Dreamweaver suddenly wasn't coming up and I had to do a reinstall of the Adobe program suite. After doing that, the extensions still showed in the extension manager but not on the menus. Once I re=enabled them, the extension options showed on the appropriate Dreamweaver menus.
The problem is that now that this happened, although the saved files still show the menu as I want it, when I go into your program to edit it - no entries that I made show at all. The color I used is gone as well as all of the links.
I checked the menu.swf file, and it's bck to the default black menu with the default links showing. If I save my template, it saves the menu with all of the default values.
My question is: is there a way that I can re=establish the link from the template (editing) to the existing file that the other html files are all pulling the info from. I don't know what file to use that might help (the js?)
Any suggestions you may have are greatly appreciated.
I really don't want to have to recreate the entire menu bar and color scheme.
Thanks!
Answer:
If you have a page with this menu just open the UI and click "Save".
Then you will be able to insert the same menu into other pages.
Also I recommend to update the UI - http://f-source.com/gui/f-source-UI.zip

HOW can I save and transfer my configurations and presets and transfer it to another computer.
Answer:
The f-source UI can read menu settings from:
- automatic saves.
- user saves (Presets and Configurations)

Just open a page with a menu in another computer.

Drop Down Menu question - Named Anchors
Hi
First of all your drop down menus have made my life so much easy. Not being a expert web programmer they are perfect for me. I do have a question though, can you nominate named anchors with the drop down menus in dreamweaver cs3? I have a page where i have a lot of text and I wanted to make my drop down menus anchor with the corresponding text.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Spiros Giannos
Answer:
Hi Spiros,
why not,
our menus can work with named anchors,
for example you can use a link like this
http://f-source.com/buy/adobeMenu/#configuration
It will scroll the page down to the anchor - <a name="configuration"></a>

Drop down stopping
The yahoo menu drop down seems to not be clickable when it reaches the bottom of the div in Firefox. however it works in IE.
Only one page has working menu. Site is under development.
http://www.ccsicore.com/Core-Professional-Services.asp
Answer:
The problem solution is
overflow:auto; removal in the DIV id="panel-holder-contentP"
The DIV with the style captures the mouse focus.
The menu losing its focus and submenus disappearing.

Pop Up window
I'm working on this site http://focashairsalon.com/test1.html and on the gallery button I want a pop-window that is smaller then the main page so they are not taken off the page and can close when done. How would I do that? thanks
Answer:
Hi,
you can do it via simple javascript code,
the menu button code:
<div><a href='javascript:new_window();'>Gallery</a></div>
The javascript code:

function new_window(){
window.open('http://www.pageresource.com/jscript/jex5.htm','mywindow','width=400,height=200')
}
</script>

Does search spider simulators see your menus?
I am very interested in buying your product, but how can I be sure that search engines can really see your menus? I have used search engine spider simulators to look at some of the sites listed at http://f-source.com/support/menu-users.htm, but the search engine simulators do not appear to see the menu items. This is very important to me. Do you have a list of search engine simulators web sites that can index your menus?
Thank you,
Dave Kinskey
Answer:
Hi Dave,
some webmasters use XML instead of HTML links,
XML is not SEO friendly!
For instance, in our list:
http://www.toontrack.com/ - XML
http://www.quantunet.com/ - XML
https://timelessinvitations.com/ - HTML
http://www.vals-plumbing.com/ - XML
http://www.kelvinbaggs.com/ - HTML
I recommend to install Lynx browser, to view how search spiders index websites.
Or use some lynx browser simulator, like this:

Problem after upgrading DW to 8.0.2
Now the navigation menu is back to default. See http://ops.ntinet.com/template.htm for the page with issues. See http://ops.ntinet.com for a page that displays correct. Please advise...
Chris
Answer:
Chris,
your flash menu code was converted.
The Dreamweaver update 8.0.2 contains Active Content Converter which
is not compatible with our menu.
Disable the active content converter:

Replace the code inside of the DIV id="f-source-menu" with original
flash menu code.

Macromedia Style Menu search feature
I woudering if I can customize the Macromedia Style Menu. I like it style, but I have no use with the search engine feature. Could I possibly take the search feature out and leave the rest?
However... how does the search feature works once implemented in my website? People can search every word from my website?
Although I have no use for now, I would appreciate if you could provide more information about the search feature provided in the Macromedia Style Menu.
Thank you with regards.
Answer:
Hi,
use parameter "_showSearchField(Yes/No)"
If you site is indexed by Google, for example, you can use google to
find any word on your site, (href="http://www.google.com/search?sitesearch=yourDomainName%26q=")

All page menus from one file
Is that possible?
Thanks,
Ed
Answer:
Hi Ed,
yes, it's possible, using Library item, Server Side Include, or PHP:
http://f-source.com/flash-menus/multipage-control/
The easiest way is XML, but it's not SEO friendly: http://f-source.com/faq/xml/
However you can use both HTML links (for search engines) and XML (for real navigation settings).
