...a Easy To Install Menu Or Something

[TCH-Thomas]

I am not satisfied with my menu on www.jikrantz.se. If a visitor for instance clicks on "The world of importance" the whole page is extended (in lack of words).

 

Does anyone know of a menu where I can have categories and under them the links that I have now but does not extend the site.

 

So far I have checked hotscripts, javascript source, dynamic drive and a few other places found when I searched google, but no luck.

 

Requirements: I use CuteSite Builder, so it would have to be easy to install/insert, and if colors can be modified to what I use now it would be a plus.

Something a little like the menu on the top of my pages?

This was done with DHTML menus, the program I use is from SoThink, but there are plenty of free DHTML menu generators available.

Sorry SlitheryImp but thanks, I forgot to say that it needs to be vertical unless I get All web menus to work again. Same idea as your menu just a different name/company.

If you get what you want the menu will have readability issues and I think would look sort of silly. I like the way your menu works.

Good thinking Lisa.

Now, why didnt I think of that.

But why I would want to do this is basically for in time eliminating the outer scroll bar and the menu is the only thing that stops it. The rest I can place in iframes (as I already done) so if anyone has any suggestions on how do this and still have a readable menu, my eyes and ears are open.

Tompas, the outter scrollbar = the browser's scrollbar?

 

Why not use php includes (or shtml but yuck ) to pull the information into the page, rather than iframes, and let the page expand is necessary? that's more search engine and bookmark friendly, too.....

 

I'm sorry I'm not helping with your initial query, I'm just trying to get my head around what you've done and why. =)

Thomas, if you're willing to pay for it, check OpenCube QuickMenu

Yes, that is what I am trying to get rid of since all dynamic (correct word?) content is in iframes

After what I have understood when reading about includes, they are excellent for static stuff, but for other things, it doesnt matter if its done with includes or the old way. I included my very first include in just less than 2 weeks ago, so maybe I am wrong? If so please tell me. To have the whole page not exapnding is the idea in this.

As for search engines...

This is just my little personal page, with very little content that might be interesting for the whole world to see, so it doesnt really matter if I am number 1 or 100 in the search engines. I advertise my world to those I want to see it in my own ways

Asfor bookmark friendly...

Yes, it would be nice for the visitor if he or she could bookmark just my animal world, but thats not the point with my world. If you are on my site you might just as well wanna read about Spina Bifida or lousy wisdoms, and then a bookmark for the whole site is handy.

 

I'm just trying to get my head around what you've done and why. =)

Im just screwing up and making things more difficult than it needs to be

 

By the way...

 

shtml

Whats that?

Using the .shtml extension for your pages

lets you also include files into your page.

using

<!--#include file="yourfilename.txt" -->

in a page will insert the contentents of yourfile.txt into your page

This is like php includes, except that you just include the file, no power or logic capabilities like php can.
