I tried this as well: created a javascript drop down menu with DropDown Menu II Builder. It is nice and dandy, and after saving it as html on my desktop, it looks nice online when I preview it. Since I couldn't figure out how to import the html file into Sitespinner, I opened it with Notepad and copied and pasted into Sitespinner's Code box. It doesnt' work. Is there anything else I need to do or did I copy it to the wrong place?

This is what I copied and pasted into SS:

<html>
<Body>

<param name="item6-info" value="Info">
</applet>
</Body>
</html>

I really want the menu to work, and it needs to be a drop down. Confused

Unfortunately (it could be also the opposite Big Grin )i'm the one in this forum that asks questions and never helps simply because i don't know, i just can tell you that SS produces itself a body and an html tags. Therefore no need to import that part.
Post a link also to eventual results in order to get a specific help.

I tried it by only importing the applet part only as well, but still didn't work. I left the body and html part out. I am not sure if I need to upload something to the server as well or what.
I appreciate your willingness to help though! Smile

On top of what Newer has said (not requiring opening and closing Body and HTML tags), there are other problems in your code.

First of all, the button images either do not exist, or the spaces in their names are causing a problem. For instance, “blue button jpeg.jpg” should possibly be renamed “blue_button.jpg”, doing away with the spaces, and possibly the extra jpeg at the end of the image name is not required.

The other problems are the URL links to your pages.

ItemI value reads ="Contact,http://www.nuimagewebhost.com/contact.html,_self". I’m not 100% sure, but I would think the value should be the title of the link, and the link should be under “info”.

Either way, the URL is incorrect. You have the page name repeated in front of the URL, which should read =http://www.nuimagewebhost.com/contact.html,_self

The same applies to all of the other URL’s.

First of all, change your image names to a more suitable format. Correct the URL links, and if still no luck, interchange each items “value” and “info”.

I note that the menu on your current home page works fine, but that does not include the applet you speak of.

The DropMenuII menu is java and not javascript. Did you upload the java applet file to your site? I believe the file you need to upload is named DropMenuII.class.

The rest of the code you displayed are parameters required by the java applet to build the menu and connect the links with the menu items.
