View Full Version : Java Menu Tree - Need to modify script slightly

08-27-2006, 03:59 AM
I'm using a menu tree code that i found online.

I know this can be done, i'm just not sure how to make my code do it so any help appreciated... Here is the code at current: http://teachingsecrets.com.au/protected/menu.html
Ignore the actual context of the links as I know these are in a mess..

I want to make it so if you have one link "open" and click on the next one down (main catagory that is) it will open but also close the one above. I need it to do this as otherwise if all catagories are open - the page ends up a mile long.

Any help appreciated.

Hi,

I tried the script above but it seems to muck the site up.

When i upload the script as like menu.txt and in the website pages i put the PHP include script in it shows the links up correctly but as soon as i click on the main catogorey to open it all the images on that page turn to plus.GIF even after they have loaded.

So i click on the catogory and it opens and it reloads all the images on the page as plus.GIF.

How do i fix this. I have not even touched the script yet i just copy and pasted what you gave me to test it.

Cheers

Hi there JoanneC,

as I said in my reply to your PM...
I suggest that you post this problem in your original thread,
with a link to the site and/or the page code that is giving you cause for concern.
This will allow all the members a chance to solve the problem, hopefully.
The code that I have supplied works, so it is essential that we can see your problem code or better still your site. :agree:

Please go here to see what it does:

http://www.teachingsecrets.com.au/protected/craft/bubblepainting.php

Let the page fully load. Then click on the main catogory on the side "John Smith" as soon as you click on this it reloads all the pictures to plus.GIF
It seems to be a problem in the script. If i upload plus.GIF all the images on the page load the plus symbol when i click on the links.

The menu file is here: http://www.teachingsecrets.com.au/protected/menu.txt
and i have added it to the pages with " <?php include ("../menu.txt")?> "

Can someone please help with them asap.

Cheers

Hi there JoanneC,

Unfortunately, you can not do it like that. :supereek:

Firstly, add the DOCTYPE at the top of your document.

Then put the highlighted code within the head of the document,
and make the addition to the body onload - again highlighted.

I forgot to finish the instructions. :supereek:

Finally, I also noticed that your five mouseovers were not working. :supereek:
At present they look like this example...
onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('home','','images/index_03_over.gif',1)"
They should all be changed in a similar fashion to this...
onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('home','','../../images/index_03_over.gif',1)"

Hi,

Thanks for your help.
But also the main purpose of the script was to have the menu in its own file as i will have baout 200+ pages on the website and i just want to change the menu file and it will change on all the 200+ pages. i cannot add the menu to each page as if i need to add 1 link it will take me days to change all those pages that is why i used the PHP include.

Cheers

Hi there JoanneC

I did not say that you could not use PHP includes, I just indicated where the code should be placed.
Both the CSS and the javascript can be placed in external files and you can still place the appropriate
HTML code in a txt file and include it. :agree:
