Dreamweaver file displaying text rather than graphic menu

Dreamweaver file displaying text rather than graphic menu

Hi, I just purchase this program today. When I try to bring the menu into a file where I already have div tags set up, it will only display the text, not the actual real looking menu. However, if I open a blank file, I can get the menu to display. I have a complicated page with lots of div tags and I don't want to have to rebuild around the menu. Can you help?

it looks like the menu css is not being uploaded to the server. this link
menu.css

generates a 404 page not found error.


make sure to upload the CSSMenuWriter/ folder to the server.

the page is looking for the css file at:
menu.css

but you have uploaded it to:
menu.css


find the following code on your apge:
<script type="text/javascript" src="../CSSMenuWriter/cssmw16/menu.js"></script>
<style type="text/css" media="all">
<!--
@import url("../CSSMenuWriter/cssmw16/menu.css");
-->
</style>
<!--[if lte IE 6]>
<style type="text/css" media="all">
@import url("../CSSMenuWriter/cssmw16/menu_ie.css");
</style>

<![endif]-->



and change it to:
<script type="text/javascript" src="CSSMenuWriter/cssmw16/menu.js"></script>
<style type="text/css" media="all">
<!--
@import url("CSSMenuWriter/cssmw16/menu.css");
-->
</style>
<!--[if lte IE 6]>
<style type="text/css" media="all">
@import url("CSSMenuWriter/cssmw16/menu_ie.css");
</style>

<![endif]-->

inserted new code

Looks right on the browser, but my dreamweaver file is still just text. How do I fix it and how do I make it right going forward?
