If I click on a menu item that has no submenu, i can continue to navigate without any problems. But once I click on a submenu item, all menu items that have submenu items no longer work.

First off, you need to upgrade - badly! You're running 3.5.16, with the current (supported) release at 5.48 - ~60-70 versions difference. The v3 series is no longer developed or supported.

Let us know when you move up, and if you have any more trouble just stop back.

John, I just went to the DHTML Menu from the sites main page and the only 'Frame Based Menu' on the drop down list is 3.0. How do I get the lastest version?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Version 3 does do frames. You can do them with version 5, if you use iframe instead of frames. This is how the menu is working now on the frames.

left side has menu, page is coded with

center 'main' has a page in it with the body_array.js file coded on it. That is the 'submenus'. So when you first do the menu the subs open because the page has the calling submenu file on it. But when you click a link and open a new page into that 'main' frame, that page doesn't have that body_array on it with the submenus so you get no menus.

If you can go to iframes I would suggest you use the version 5 of the menu, it is very much more up to date with all the new things the new browsers do, with css style codes, the new menu allows submenus to drop over applets and form select boxes, so many things you are now seeing on sites. You can do fabulous things in designing it.

There is a non-supported frames code for version5. Note it is NOT supported by milonic. It was created by a volunteer, it seems to work, but I doubt there'd be anyone to help if you had problems.

If you're interested in doing it with iframes and need help, I could try to help with that.
