As part of ICT Coursework, I've had to design a site, Im only a little way through it and ran into this little problem.
I tryed using Dreamweaver behaviours to make a pop up menu appear when the Navigation button is click but nothing happens.

I could use the show/hide layer if I needed to, but this ways much quicker and less messy so, may as well try to fix it.

(Sorry for the lengh,just last time something went screwy with this site, I had to add all this).

Had the idea it was due to the layers limited size, but then I tryed it on the biggest and it still did not work.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, Could someone tell me how to stream a radiostation so I wouldn't have to fill my AudioPlayers folder with tons of mp3 files.

FWIW, your site navigation is completely dependent upon JavaScript. At the very least, you should put real URLs into the href attributes.

As the site is mostly going to be used on a local server, since thats how coursework examiners use them, the full link going to a website wouldn't work or count.
And using as a link to another file as a full adress wouldn't, due to the files constanly being transfered from my comp, to a flash drive and to the school PC server.

You have HTML comment errors in the script. But even after eliminating them, the script doesn't seem to work. I never understood the extremely complicated javascripts DW always creates. I suggest you go see at javascriptkit.com or use CSS to create menu's.

Ahhh, CSS is..... really.... REALLY annoying, I can understand really complex php and html, but can't even get the basics of css for some weird reason.

I'll check out those links!

If I used fireworks to make hotspots that show the pop up menus, would that leave the document still editable? or would it make it into a huge table based thing?

I don't know, I don't use Fireworks. I handcode everything.
CSS isn't really so difficult. Sooner or later, you're better off to learn about it.
Go see: Where can I learn about CSS?.

Thanks, I'll try to learn it!

*P.S. Fireworks just basicly puts in a Co-rd code (I think thats what its called)*
