I am using the DHTML menu (and new in this forum, a big "hello" to everybody ) ans what I dunno is why sometimes a menu title and an item in this menu are highlighted.

Is it due to last visit ? I mean : this item is highlighted because my last click was on this link ? Or Else ?

I you undersant me, and if you can help me, this would be great.

I notice just i have NO problem with the menu, it's just a question about what I noticed.

Hilighted items are simply those that are new since you last signed on to the Forum. That's why it's always important to sign on, rather than just browse around. If you don't sign on the Forum won't know what to hilight, and it also won't be able to add you signature to any posts you make.

I think I didn't explain very well - thanks for you so fast answer, but my problem is not in a forum, it's in a page, a HTML page.

I include this menu in a HTML page and when I try "View" (from FrontPage 2000) my page opens in internet explorer (6) and I can try the menu. It works very well, you know.

However, I just noticed that some items were highlighted and others not.

For example, I have a menu like that (in index.html):

Menu1, menu 2, menu 3

Menu1 -> kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, garage
Menu2 -> Flowers, plants, garden, grass
Menu3 -> my family, my dog, my neighbour

When I click on menu 1, then "bedroom", I go tio the bedroom page. Ok.
When I come back to my page (index), I notice that Menu1, and bedroom are highlighted.
If I take "My dog", they stay highlighted until I come back "after" the visit in "My dog"...

Do you see what I mean ? I'm sorry, I'm French and it's not always easy to explain in english what happends...

What browser are you using?
Can we see the url?

John I've noticed something similar, my problem tools menu I placed in a new main menu to cover up the problem. The subimage highlighted even though I don't use current page on the tools menu, wasn't sure if its because its on the same horizontal as the top menu.

Hello

I'm using IE6 under windows XP pro

I can't (for now) give you a valid url just because I'm relooking my website, so pages are unavalaible.

This should be ok in a few days. I'll tell you.
Are my explanations easy to understant ? I'm not sure :p

You definitely did confuse me when you said...

So, as Maz said, we really do need to see a URL when you have it available so we can see what's happening.

OK. As soon as my website is publisher on Free, I give you the URL.
It may only appear in local, why not ?

Thanks.

Sure you don't have a style hidden in there that's causing that?

Caught it!

I highlighted all the spaces at the end of each row and made a new return, must have been a hidden character.


Any chance I altered this by mistake?
url=javascript:self.print('');

Thanks

I knwo why some parts of my menu are highlighted !!!

That's just because I made a general menu and copy / paste it into several pages, so the page where I am has a link for herself in the menu... So when scrolling the menu, the item that refers to this page (already loaded) is highlighted, just to say "you're here" ...


I understood that because I saw several pages with this menu, and each time, it wasn't the same item highlighted.

Thank you again for your help, have a good day !

PS : i can give you my website url :

http://anat.rouen.free.fr

Don't visit it before 6 or 7 hours after this post, otherwise you would see the ancient version.

I can't give you an hour for the update just because I'm french and it is now 15 h 10, and i dunno what time it is in your countries...
So for France, i Would say "19h"...:p

have a good day !
