This is an old Frontpage website that will be rebuilt in Wordpress. Trying for an interim solution and having trouble with dropdown menus.
One reason is the site uses a FP webbot for the nav bar at the top. I've replaced the old nav file, header.htm , with a dropdown which is visible in FF but not IE. Can someone help? It's http://www.humanisticjews.org. The css file is chj.css.
Much appreciated.
FWIW, if JavaScript is disabled/unavailable, and CSS is supported, then your "Home" and "Education" submenus are open and there is no way to close them.
Since you are converting your site into Wordpress, You should search for a wordpress plugin for drop down menus.
I converted a site to Wordpress before. Basically you let Wordpress generate the list with http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_list_pages, in your header or sidebar theme template page, and you get a drop down plugin to deal with the style and display.
Do you know how to create subpages from wordpress admin panel? You will need to create top level pages (which could contain anything from a full page itself to just a site map with links to the subpages) then under those top level pages you create and organize the sub-pages that will appear under the entry in your menu.
Once you set the navigation menu up it is always updated, and it takes no work because Wordpress will do all the work of listing the existing pages.
Thank you both. I've devised a workaround for the interim (I think). Good enuf. The problem has kept me from getting serious about the conversion. I know these problems will go away when a CMS takes over.
a friend encourages me to go to joomla rather than wordpress since wp is basically for blogs. He says joomla is much more powerful.
You should take into consideration the skill level of the people who will be updating the website. You should test out Drupal, Joomla, Wordpress, and http://cms-software-review.toptenreviews.com/ you may think of, to see which one has a better back end interface for you and your client.
