Frontpage Question

Just got through a short course on Frontpage but the instructor didn't cover one thing I need to modify my company's website built by a past employee.

The main link bar on the website has pull down menus, to link to our products etc. Can't find anything in Frontpage that mentions pull down link choices and how to change them.

Any Frontpage Gurus. My company's web is Spartanco.com if you want to check it out.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Gary

FrontPage isnt going to work on your toolbar. This is from your source code:

(!-- Start: ToolBar V2.0--)
(script language="JavaScript" src="/Menu2/toolbar.js"></script)

(script language="JavaScript" src="/Menu2/global.js"></script)

(script language="JavaScript" src="/Menu2/local.js"></script)


(I changed the < and > to ( and ) so the text would appear)

You will have to edit your toolbar.js to get it to work. You can do this in high speed, low drag editor....Notepad.

Open up toolbar.js and you should be able to see where you can fiddle with it. It may be under the other two as well because I can't view any of them, but my bet is on toolbar.js. Best of luck!

You're lucky if this is the only problem you've found using FrontPage so far. Don't get me wrong, FrontPage is a decent WYSIWYG for beginners, but if you change your pages often or your content changes at all, you will have to learn some basic HTML. And, in doing so, you'll want to find a much better program for editing HTML and working with scripts.

I didn't look at the site personally, but I'll go with WallPaper on this, you'll probably have to edit your toolbar.js script. And, like WP says, you should just use Notepad or an ASCII text editor to do so. Don't use any high-end word processors, they may change the format and hence totally destroy your script. One more note: Always make a backup before you change any scripts.

Good luck!

I just took a look at the site and scripts. Your script for your links is in "menu2/local.js". If you open the file you will see the links and names just as they are in the menu. The toolbar.js is just to actually write the toolbar. It controls how the toolbar looks and such. But the actual links are in local.js Global.js is empty, not exactly sure what it is used for, but you shouldn't need it.
