Recently we began a project where the decision to add pop-up menus was made after the Fireworks stage of the template creation, so we designed our pop-ups from within Dreamweaver MX 2004 itself. To clear some of the specifics and eliminate some of the preliminary questions, we know that Dreamweaver does not dynamically update links from within popup menus so we designed them with absolute URL's for the images and for the links. Once created, the menu previewed fine on my machine (the creator) and the synchronized site works fine on my machine also, however, it will not work correctly on any other machine we try it on. The rollover effects work fine, but the popup menus do not appear on the other machine and Javascript errors are produced.
The site can be found at:
http://www.tworiverspublichealth.com

The following are the errors we are seeing:
Line: 18
Char: 27
Error: 'Menu' is undefined

and on every menu item we get:
Line: 159 (different line numbers for different errors)
Char: 220 (also different for different errors)
Error: Object Expected

A quick background on how the menus were designed. Initially, I created all of the rollover effects for the image changes first. I then used the Pop-Up menu creator incorporated with Dreamweaver to create each popup menu. Each image also has a unique id="" and name="" identifier, so there are no conflicts.

Here is the code generating the first error:
<!--
function mmLoadMenus() {
if (window.mm_menu_1022144510_0) return;
window.mm_menu_1022144510_0 = new Menu("root",137,18,"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif",10,"#666666","#FFFFFF","#E6E6E6","#0842A5", "left","middle",4,0,1000,-5,7,true,true,true,0,true,true);
mm_menu_1022144510_0.addMenuItem("Board of Health","location='http://www.tworiverspublichealth.com/About/Board.htm'");
mm_menu_1022144510_0.addMenuItem("Staff","location ='http://www.tworiverspublichealth.com/About/Staff.htm'");

The Errors for subsequent menu items are generated in the following lines:
<tr>
<td height="30" bgcolor="#E7E7E7"><img src="http://www.tworiverspublichealth.com/images/template/menu/MenuTemplate_r4_c1.gif" name="programs" width="153" height="30" border="0" id="programs"></td>
<td><img src="http://www.tworiverspublichealth.com/images/template/menu/MenuTemplate_r3_c2.gif" name="programsarrow" width="28" height="30" id="programsarrow"></td>
</tr>

Any help would be greaty appreciated.

Hi there,

When you create a DW menu, DW also creates a Javascript source file for you.
Did you upload that file to your remote server?

Cheers,

While typing this post, I was listening to: RefuseResist by Sepultura (Track 1 from the album: Chaos A.D.) What's This?

Yes, it was uploaded. Thank you for your reply! But I did just figure out the problem...it took a little code sifting, but when changing the links all to the absolute url's I missed one line....the line that was the call to the mm_menu.js file. I have the website folder on our server mapped to my Y: drive, and no one else does, which is why the page worked fine on my PC but not others. It's almost scary that I could browse to the page (http://www.tworiverspublichealth.com) and it actually read the mm_menu.js file from my local drive without a problem, but it's fixed now. Thanks again!

I was having the same problem and came across this post. So, I put in the absolute link to the mm_menu.js file. The error is gone, but now my pop-up menus aren't showing up. Any ideas on why that is and how I can fix it?

thanks!

Could you post a bit of the source code from your file including the absolute file references? You could also drop me an e-mail [email protected]
