Templates

I have the menu working beutifully - in my templates.
I have placed the correct links, it looks nice, even goes to the correct pages.
The menu does not appear on any of the pages using my templates.
Should I have the full path e.g. http://etc/etc to the menu_array in the template?
I have no navigation at the moment.
The template in question is at:
http://www.kaomag.com/Templates/topnav.dwt

Same kind of Problem with templates

Poster: Surfergirl
Dated: Friday June 27 2003 - 17:55:38 BST

This very cool menu ( I love it) is working ok in the index page. It works even if the index is saved as a template - because its on the root directory with the menu_array.js But when I put the template in a subdirectory - it looses the arrows.

This is the script from the template in the sub-directory

<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="../../menu_array.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="../../mmenu.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>

The menu_array.js is looking for the arrow.gif which is in the main directory and its not showing up. How do you get around that

Figured it out

Well, doc, you gave me an idea - I used the absolute path to the arrow in the menu_array.js and it worked. Hope you figured out your prob.
