Good question... I dunno what is the answer to that question. I'll do some poking around and get back to you if I bump into an useful answer. You should email the people at iContact as they probably could assist you..
That's not working. U see, the items displayed in the navbar are orderd in a list, like this:.
The problem are not the scripts itself, but the list. That has to be present at every page. But when I need to change something, I've to change it on every page, and that's not working. So, is their some way to make one file with the list for the navbar, and link that to every other single page?..
Hello SavageNL >>.
SSI.
- or any server-side script - would be the ideal solution..

I'd go with this method. If iframes aren't working for you, do this. If you don't know enough JavaScript, someone can write up a code (maybe even myself) for you. All the JavaScript does is write your html into the page. It's just like linking to a style sheet...
Could you further explain why iframes didn't work? I'm not sure I understand that part. Iframes would be ideal since some people can browse sites with scripts turned off.....
I already said that method isn't working, unless I'm doing it wrong. My iContact site is down, so you can't see for yourself, but I'll try to elaborate more....
The navbar consist of some javascript files, and a list (like <ul> and <li>). This list and links to the javascripts, have to be present at every single page. The javascriptlinks aren't the problem, because they won't be changed. The problem is the list. Should I want to add or change something to the navbar, I've to change the list on every single page. Otherwise, it only displayes the change or addition on the page I alterted.
I need something to link to a file with the list. So when I need to change something, I only need to alter that file, much like an external stylesheet..
I hope this clears things up....
Iframes aren't working because the navbar unfolts, only in that frame. I does not overlap beyond that iframe. So you can't see the whole menu...

True, so, why would you go with the JavaScript method...?.
What would the iContact site look like without support for JavaScript, how would search engine treat the site?.
If you have no support for SSI, or any server-side technique, inline frames would be the best solution..

Ehm...i'm not sure I'm getting through....
It's an expanding menu, a slide over menu, a dropdown menu however you want to call it. It are not just some links/buttons...

Your code uses unordered lists which are as semantic as markup can get. If you employ a JavaScript to print the code, you destroy the code....

I'm sorry, I really don't understand what you're saying.

Just for the record, it's not my code.....

JavaScript is bad. Avoid it when you can..
Loom..
So what do you recommend?.
I need a slideover dropdownmenu.....
Just to make sure things are clear (even though this is a bit late), I meant for JavaScript to be the alternate option if iframes really weren't working....
I'm not sure I understand all that's going on here, so good luck! I'm out..
I can see you don't get it.
It's not iframes or jscripts. the jscripts make from the list, a dropdown menu. this navbar (or the dropdownmenu), is floating. You can change it's position in one of the jscriptfiles. But it only displays itself in the frame it's in, so when displaying the menu in an iframe that's 42px in height, while the menu is at least 100 px in height (when expanded), it does not display the entire menu, that's why iframes are not working.....
I think I gotcha on your iframe troubles....
You're using the iframe to display the menu.
In.
Each page, correct? My suggestion for iframes is to basically display the menu.
Over.
Each page... If that's a big confusing, let me explain....
You have a main page set with an iframe to reach 100% height and width. This iframe will display the pages... Then, using layers, you could position your menu over the iframe in a div or table. Have you tried that method before?.
As a side note, I'm confused about the jscripts dillema....
