    problems with Navigation Bar

    Hi Folks

    Got a bit of an odd problem to do with the side navigation bar using the Art Deco theme.

    Strangely, I asked the advice of an experienced friend of mine & he couldn't replicate it but he's too far away to just pop round and have a look at his set-up so...

    I've re-created this in a fresh site, using the Art Deco inbuilt theme.

    What we're concerned with is the buttons in the side frame navigation bar. Specifically buttons for brochure pages.

    A button for a brochure page can be defined in the properties for the brochure page or - by default - there's an option under Design/options/brochre for a default button.

    If we set that default button to say the links icon, then we get a navigation bar - as expected - shown in the attached act1.jpg

    What I want to be able to do is prevent some brochure pages from having a button in this navigation bar (they'll be linked via text instead). To do this, I deleted the default brochure button under design/options/brochures and made sure no button was defined under the individual brochure page properties.

    I do that, and we get a nav bar with a gap in it! See the attached act2.jpg

    Help! How do I get round this so the gap closes up? This is driving me crazy (not all that difficult).

    Many thanks - Dunc.

    Hi,

    Can you check in 'Advanced | Template Manager | Brochure tab (click 'Change View' if you do not see the tabs) | FrameNavItem template if you have a '<BR>' tag in there at all. If so, then please delete it.

      Hi Tracey

      Thanks for the pointer but not quite there yet.

      The framenavitem template looks like:

      <!-- BrochureFrameNavItem HTML begin -->
      <!-- This file is used to build the navigation item for frames. -->
      <A HREF="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVLINK" TARGET="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVTARGET" NETQUOTEVAR:MOUSEOVERCALL>NETQUOTEVAR:NAVIMAGE<BR></A>
      <!-- Not used NETQUOTEVAR:NAVTEXT-->
      <!-- This file is used to build the navigation item for frames. -->
      <!-- BrochureFrameNavItem HTML end -->

      So I got rid of that <BR> after NETQUOTEVAR:NAVIMAGE but that just breaks the navbar with the second button trying to appear alongside the first rather than underneath it.

      Cheers - Dunc.

        Hi,

        This is really odd because it works for me. Can you check that you have deleted the 'Highlight Image' button for the brochure page and the 'default' image (Design | Options | Brochure tab).

          Hi Tracey & thanks for the help so far.

          This is my revised FrameNavItem without the <BR> and the attached image shows what hapens.

          <!-- BrochureFrameNavItem HTML begin -->
          <!-- This file is used to build the navigation item for frames. -->
          <A HREF="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVLINK" TARGET="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVTARGET" NETQUOTEVAR:MOUSEOVERCALL>NETQUOTEVAR:NAVIMAGE</A>
          <!-- Not used NETQUOTEVAR:NAVTEXT-->
          <!-- This file is used to build the navigation item for frames. -->
          <!-- BrochureFrameNavItem HTML end -->


          And in case anything leaps out at you... I've got the following as the code for adjacent templates:

          =========
          <!-- BrochureFrameSet HTML begin -->
          <HTML>

          function onLoad()
          {
          if(window.location.search.length > 0)
          {
          var sEscapedParams = unescape(window.location.search);
          sEscapedParams = sEscapedParams.substring(1);
          if (sEscapedParams.indexOf('&BrochureBody') == -1)
          {
          return;
          }
          var nTheSplit = sEscapedParams.lastIndexOf('&');
          var sThePageUrl = sEscapedParams.substring(0,nTheSplit);
          var sTheFrameName = sEscapedParams.substring(nTheSplit+1);
          eval("window."+sTheFrameName+".location.replace('"+ sThePageUrl+"')");

          //Now workaround Microsoft's IE 5.5 Anchor bug

          var user_agent = window.navigator.userAgent
          var msie55 = user_agent.indexOf ( "MSIE" )
          if ( msie55 > 0 && sThePageUrl.indexOf("#") != -1)
          {
          var sTheAnchorName = sThePageUrl.substring (sThePageUrl.indexOf("#")+1, sThePageUrl.length);
          parent.BrochureBody.document.all(sTheAnchorName).scrollIntoView();
          }
          }

              Hi,

              Can you check that you have deleted the 'Highlight Image' button for the brochure page and the 'default' image (Design | Options | Brochure tab).
              Did you check this?

                  Hi,

                  I've just pasted the code you have posted into my templates and it all works ok. Can you post your Act_BrochurePrimary.html template too please.

                      Hi,

                      Nope, still can't recreate it . I think we are going to need your snapshot so can you please register a support query here and someone will provide you with an e-mail address to send your snapshot to.

                        Thanks for the help Tracey, a snapshot is now with Suresh so we'll see what it turns out to be.

                        I'll probably end up kicking myself over something simple but such is life!

                        Cheers.

                          Just a quick thought - do you have 'compact CGI' enabled? You can introduce whitespace sometimes if not and it's tripped me up once or twice!
