Now none of the links work! CSSMenuWriter is driving me nuts!

Can anyone tell me what, on earth, is wrong with the following:
index.shtml

I've re-built this menu so many times that I feel like I'm starting to have a nervous breakdown. I've reinstalled the extension, completely rebuilt the navigation and EVERY time I try to edit the menu it goes back to a default setting as if no changes were made.

When I finally got the styling to stick, the bloody links stopped working. If you click a few links, you'll notive that the menu links suddenly decide that they're no longer links! It's pure madness!

At the end of my tether with this damn extension. It has cost me, big time, on this job and I'm sick to death of the thing.

I would appreciate any advice.
I'm using DW8.0.2, ASP/VBSript, Win XP Pro.

Thank you.

Nathon.

FFS, I'm also now noticing this following error on every page:

Can anyone tell me what the hell is wrong with this extension?
It's doing my brains in.

viewing your source at:
index.shtml

the links look like this:
<li><a href="hotel-south-west-scotland.asp">GARDEN SUITE</a></li>


when at:
trigony-room-rates.shtml

the links look like:
<li><a href="<%=assumedRoot%>hotel-south-west-scotland.asp">GARDEN SUITE</a></li>


This bit:
<%=assumedRoot%>

is asp code that cannot be processed because the page is an shtml page. it would seem you have two different menus, one is a static menu, the other is an ASP menu. You will not be able to embed an asp menu into a static shtml page.

I have simply used the CSS Menu Writer wizard for insertion of the menu. Will it not have detected the page type?

Will I have to create two seperate menus for each type of page? Is there a quick way of doing that, rather than have to run through the entire setup again?

Appreciate the help, thanks.

Hi. Is the following wrong? I notice the first menu item is listed as class="parent", I assume because it has Level 1 options, yet the second menu item doesn't have "class=parent". Should it have?

<li class="parent"><a href="<%=assumedRoot%>dumfries-hotel-rooms.shtml">ROOMS</a>
<ul class="level-1">
<li><a href="<%=assumedRoot%>hotel-south-west-scotland.asp">GARDEN SUITE</a></li>
<li><a href="<%=assumedRoot%>trigony-superior-room.asp">SUPERIOR ROOM</a></li>
<li><a href="<%=assumedRoot%>weekend-break-scotland-hotel.asp">ROOM WITH A VIEW</a></li>
<li><a href="<%=assumedRoot%>trigony-single-room.asp">SINGLE ROOM</a></li>
<li><a href="<%=assumedRoot%>hotel-accommodation-dumfries-galloway-scotland.asp">REVIEWS</a></li>
<li><a href="<%=assumedRoot%>trigony-room-rates.shtml">RATES</a></li>
<li><a href="<%=assumedRoot%>trigony-newsletter.asp">NEWSLETTER</a></li>
</ul>
</li>

<li><a href="<%=assumedRoot%>eating-out-dumfries-galloway.asp">RESTAURANT</a>
<ul class="level-1">
<li><a href="<%=assumedRoot%>restaurant-food.shtml">FOOD</a></li>
<li><a href="<%=assumedRoot%>restaurant-menu.shtml">MENU</a></li>
<li><a href="<%=assumedRoot%>restaurant-childrens-menu.shtml">CHILDREN'S MENU</a></li>
<li><a href="<%=assumedRoot%>restaurant-wine-list.shtml">WINE LIST</a></li>
<li><a href="<%=assumedRoot%>hotel-accommodation-dumfries-galloway-scotland.asp">REVIEWS</a></li>
<li><a href="<%=assumedRoot%>trigony-newsletter.asp">NEWSLETTER</a></li>
</ul>
</li>

I've decided to simply hand edit the code because it simply doens't work using the CSSMenuWriter wizard. It absolutely removes the styling that I've spent so long creating and, having spent so long getting the menu to this stage, I really don't want to start messing that up again.

Can you let me know which menu items need class="parent"? Thank you.

Nathon

Only the top level items need the class="parent" attribute.

The problem is with the asp code:
<%=assumedRoot%>

in the links. if you are going to hand edit it, you need to remove that from the links. for example:
<li><a href="<%=assumedRoot%>hotel-south-west-scotland.asp">GARDEN SUITE</a></li>


should be:
<li><a href="/hotel-south-west-scotland.asp">GARDEN SUITE</a></li>
