javascript menu not appearing in IFrame

Re: javascript menu not appearing in IFrame

I changed the name to shortmenu to no avail and reconfigured the js menus. Same result.

Re: javascript menu not appearing in IFrame

ok.. but upload your shortmenu in a text file from note pad and save it as shortmenu.js

Now in your iframe call for the shortmenu.js instead of the html page

Re: javascript menu not appearing in IFrame

I tried calling for the second js instead of the page and had a conflict. Yes, the 2 menus have the same (almost) links/headings. That is why I chose an IFrame to call for another page (www.masterpac.com/shortmenu.html) instead of another script.

OK, I started following the steps from the tutorial Naval did long ago on menubars in iframes but I'm tired LOL - so I suggest you go through it step-by-step and see if there's anything there that will fix the problem:

Good luck and good night :)

Re: javascript menu not appearing in IFrame

Hi Terry,

I can see the text in the iframe, if i scroll horizontally, though i can't see the menu itself as the iframe will only allow me to scroll horizontally but not vertically.

Remove the text, so only the menu appears.

Move the short menu on the top left corner.

Re-publish the shortmenu.html

then we can take it from there

Re: javascript menu not appearing in IFrame

The text was directly over the menu (I removed it). I think that I solved it by changing the target to "TOP" although I had to search for it in the script I think that I got it. However, I have to manually place the menu in the exact place rather than the upper left on the page.

Thanks George.

Re: javascript menu not appearing in IFrame

OK G.,
I republished the shortmenu in the upper left corner and put scroll bars on the IFrame

Hi terry,

Your Javascript absolute coordinates overide the frame boundaries.

To solve your problem, go in the shortmenu page code. Edit these two lines:

var StartTop=320; // Menu offset x coordinate
var StartLeft=355; // Menu offset y coordinate

because your frame is positioned at 320 from top and 355 from left.

Take off the frame border, and you are done.

Re: javascript menu not appearing in IFrame

Thanks George,
Initially, I couldn't see
the menu at all. I had to change 2 lines of code
(var SecLineFrame='top';// Frame where sub levels appear
var DocTargetFrame='top';// Frame where target documents appear)
to "top" instead of "space" as they are originally generated.
Thanks for your help.

Re: javascript menu not appearing in IFrame

Glad to see in my sleeping hours it got corrected. :)

I'm thinking you don't even need it in an iframe with some of the changes, but now that it's working, why play more?

Just more proof of why we need a network here!

Re: javascript menu not appearing in IFrame

Bethers,
I can have only one script on the page without a conflict. However, I have not tried calling for the second script.
Thanks for your time.

Re: javascript menu not appearing in IFrame

George,
Would the php method work better here? I was worried about the pages already being indexed and was concerned about losing ground in page results. Not to bother though as I am having an extremely difficult time moving this site up in search results. There is another site that uses content that is very similar. www.clamshellpackaging.net
This a web page from a webdesigner that would not finish the site but keeps the index page going because of a good search results and there is a link that clicks through to his design service.

Re: javascript menu not appearing in IFrame

Hi Terry,

I can't see why two menus in the same page would conflict, for any reason.
I will test and come back to you.
