Newbie question
Hi all
I have to start with saying that I am not a programmer. Incidentally I am requiered to set up HTML pages on an IIS server. My problem is that I want to use a CGI program (rrdcgi for thos who may know this) in conjunction with a Horizontal menu described here http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...menu/index.htm. I mentioned the CGI word above because I want to say that the pages generated are out of my control. Because I want to have the menu displayed on the top frame and the pages loaded on the bottom frame I have to add the below listed code to each page loaded in the bottom frame. Whithout doing this the menu doesn't work any more. <body onload="javascript:{if(parent.frames[0]&&parent.frames['header'].Go)parent.f rames['header'].Go()}"> In other words the tag <body > must become the above one. Is there any way to do it automatically ? or to insert the code within the HTML code generated by some external servers ? Thak you Cristian Chris |

> a Horizontal menu described here > http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...menu/index.htm. The demo: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...nu/horizon.htm "Your browser does not support script" This is what ~15% of your visitors will see; those with JavaScript disabled or not available. In other words, they will have no navigation. Bad Idea™. Those kinds of drop down menus are generally annoying as well. While viewing a page, move your mouse around the page while you're reading the content. > I mentioned the CGI word above because I want to say that the pages > generated are out of my control. If you are authoring the pages, why are they out of your control? > Because I want to have the menu displayed on the top frame and the pages > loaded on the bottom frame I have to add the below listed code to each page > loaded in the bottom frame.

Why is that the minority always outweighs the majority? 85% of ALL users have javasrcript "TURNED ON" and therefor will be able to access the site. You see a glass of water with 50% capacity. You would say that the glass is "half empty", just like your brain. |

By creating a navigation system that requires Javascript, then 85% of people can use your site. By creating a navigation system that doesn't require Javascript, 100% of people can use your site. The total (100%) outweighs the majority (85%). The minority barely factors into the inequation. -- Toby A Inkster BSc (Hons) ARCS Contact Me - http://www.goddamn.co.uk/tobyink/?page=132 |

They don't, no one is saying that something bad should be done to the 85% with scripting enabled. Why is it that you think 15% of people should be barred from your site when no one needs to be? |

You're willing to lose 15% of your annual business? Fine. Send it my way. > You see a glass of water with 50% capacity. You would say that the > glass is "half empty", just like your brain. No, my brain is only 15% empty, but the parts of it that use logic and common sense are full to the brim. Perhaps you need to wander over to WalMart and shop for some yourself. There's a 15% rebate on Common Sense this week. And you are once again forgetting that your most important visitor does not use JavaScript.
