Multiple Pop Up Menus on 1 Page


When I create 2 popup menus in Fireworks and move the .html to dreamweaver,
either one of the menus will work, but as soon as they're both present on the
same page, one won't work.   I get .js errors in mm_menu.js

 Any ideas?

You have to create them on the same canvas in FW, and export them as a
single document.

Thank you Linda, but that misses the point.  I know I can create a single
document, but I want two different menus in different locaions on the page.  I
suppose the thing to do would be to create a second instance of mm_menu.js call
it something like mm_menu2.js and similarly rename the functions therein as
well as the functions to match, in the html??

I realize that you want them in two different locations on the page.
It's necessary to create the two different locations on the page in a
single FW document because importing a second set of pop up menus into
your DW page overwrites the JS of the first one. Mock up the entire page
in FW, including both sets of menus. It's a limitation of the feature.

Consider not using these dinosaurs at all.  Candidly, the menus just stink.

Which FW are you using?

Actually, your suggestion is the conclusion I'm coming to.  It's FW8, btw.

FW8's menus were very much better than earlier models, but they still stink
on quite a long stick.
