javascript menu not appearing in IFrame

CarbonTerry · #1 07-06-2008, 03:22 AM

That pretty much says it all. I have a js menu that is published on a page all by itself. I have an IFrame on another page calling for the JS menu. Everything is published. I added a shape where the js menu is positioned and the shape was visible but no menu.

Terry..

ahem... can you give us a link to the page? your script might be running UNDER the shape.

LOL, I know, how many times have we asked for an URL !!! I put the shape in to make sure that the IFrame was positioned correctly. When I previewed the shape was there. Removed the IFrame the menu was not there. I have not published yet but will do so and provide an URL.
Thanks

Well, live and learn ! The 2nd js menu appears after publishing the main page. The "shortmenu" page was already published. The only reason I put it into a frame was because it created a conflict with the long horizontal js menu.
This is a redesign and nothing is finished and/or final design.

Whoa !! It was there ! Nowhere to be seen now.

None of the menus there look like js on any of the pages i clicked around on. I did see an image holder or something tho.. didnt look at the source to see if it was under it.

In your js menuscripts.. use the full path to the url instead of the relative one. Seems I had to do that before when i used one of them for somebody somewhere.

<edit... i see you have done that but youve combined using both http:// and http://www try to use the same.. also in the urls to the images you might have to change those too..and I see the codes.. im just wondering if its UNDER that shape somehow..if you have to add a layer and move it top...

That is the background color of the js page where the empty IFrame is.
Right click and you'll see the code. The main navbar is a js menu also.
I'll swear....the menu appeared for a while and then ..........nothing.
This menu comes from a js generator and all of the code is complete. I am not calling for a script but actually have it inserted in the page code.
If you click on my other BV websites in my siggy most of thoise sites use the same js generator.

OK, I just went through the view source and only see one instance of a js menu in the source code for that page. But wow, that is one heavy script - is 90% of your view source LOL

That said, I don't find a 2nd js menu on that page. Is it on the inline frame page???? Cuz I show the call up for an inline frame. So, if on that page, the question is did you do it properly to call it up - and as you and Karen have been discussing, is it on top of the shape.

CarbonTerry · #10 07-09-2008, 03:54 AM

There is no shape there anymore. That is the page background color. Right click on the empty IFrame and you will see the script.
The called for page www.masterpac.com/shortmenu.html views fine. It just does not appear in the IFrame.

Bethers · #11 07-09-2008, 04:01 AM

Here's your problem:

<iframe name="short menu

That's the name of the iframe being called up - but the actual name of it is
shortmenu

Karen Mac · #12 07-09-2008, 04:59 AM

Ok ... I see this right smack dab in between Menu5= New array and Menu6= new array..and it dont belong

Quote:

Menu5_1=new Array("Clamshells","http://masterpac.com/clamshell.html","",0,20,115);
Menu5_2=new Array("Mock Clamshells","http://masterpac.com/mock-clamshell.html","",0,20,0);
Menu5_3=new Array("Blisters","http://masterpac.com/blisters.html","",0,20,80);
Menu5_4=new Array("Trays & Inserts","http://","",0,20,80);

Now according to your post this is your short menu.. so yes its there but its clear up under your header and nav bar. you must have duplicated it somehow? Also Beth is Correct.. You have called "short menu" When it is 'shortmenu' so thats why it doesnt appear and theres a blank space there.

I tried it as shortmenu with no change in results

CarbonTerry · #14 07-09-2008, 05:09 AM

www.masterpac.com/shortmenu.html is the page being called for. It's not calling for a js per se. It's calling for a page that has a js menu.

There is a main js menu right below the logo and "The Clear Choice..et al"
I'll reconfigure the page as I may have made a mistake after making a lot of changes to see if I could fix the problem. ;})

Karen Mac · #15 07-09-2008, 05:11 AM

ok.. i see you have it twice.. or are trying to have it twice? and the codes and arrays are the same. I bet its overwriting each other. Try calling for the js instead and see if it works
