The readme.txt mentions a file called install-frames.htm but it is not included in the zip file. Any chance anyone could send me a copy as you probably have guessed I am having problem getting the menu to work with frames!
I don't know. You've posted no URL so I can only guess. Perhaps it dislikes frames as much as I do and is hiding. I did use frames briefly on one occassion about 6 years ago but never since.
I'd suggest trying the standard HV_MENU demo from the digital drive site and getting that to work on a simple test page using the same frame structure as your site. Once you've achieved that try the same thing on the Actinic / Nortree site.
After carefully looking at the java code, I discovered what the problem was. The variable FirstLineFrame, SecLineFrame & DocTargetFrame are initialised to 'self'. If you remove the 'self', the code works out what frame it is running on... And the menu then appears as expected!
I have now a new problem, the menu is not working out the address of the section html page correctly!
I have looked at nortree_menu_create.js and the array is being loaded with calls to http://MyEcommerceWEBsite/cgi-bin/ss...tml&NOLOGIN=1. If you call this, the 'ACCESSORIES' page from the Actinic catalog does get loaded.
But ss000001.pl is confused because:
> I am working with frame
> My web site will be split on 2 servers: the GenericInfoWebSite and the MyEcommerceWEBsite. On a page, there are 5 frames being used, 4 from the former site and 1 from the latter.
In this set up,
> if you call ss000001.pl from the search screen for example it works.
> But if you do it from the nortree_menu, it prefixes the /acatalog/Online_ACCESSORIES_1.html with the GenericInfoWebSite URL not the MyEcommerceWEBsite despite both being in the same frame.
If anyone has any idea how to fix this I would be gratefull.
Also in ss000001.pl, how do you enable the filelog & LogData? It would help me to understand what is going on...
....and your frames are loaded from DIFFERENT systems...
Well I'm sorry, but I haven't the time or inclination to attempt to fix this.
As I remember it Nortree reads the URL's from the Actinic created Act_section_tree_URLs.js file and passes these in to the menu. These are fully formed URL's so they should work.
Also leaving the frame variables empty doesn't sound right to me. I'd re-read the Frame info.
