    Navigation button problem using frames in Brochure

    Hi

    I wonder if anyone has come across this before.

    I'm using frames in Brochure, which means that the navigation buttons appear in a vertical frame on the LHS. The buttons are in fact images, which can be defined in the "Page properties" screen for the various brochure pages being linked to, except for the one linking to the catalog, which is set up in Design Options".

    This all works fine, except for the vertical seperation of the butons. On inspection it appears that below each button is a gap equal in height to that of the button above. This means I won't have enough vertical height to get all my buttons in; because of the nature of the button images (pictures of corks - we sell wine) it is not desirable to shrink the buttons. A better solution would be to close up or eliminate the gaps between the buttons. Also the first one in the list appears not at the top of the screen, but some 20% or so of the way down the screen, and it would be better to reposition it higher up to make better use of the space.

    You can see this problem on my site - still in development - at

    All help much appreciated.

    You need to edit a template called 'Act_BrochureFrameNavItem.html' in your Site1 folder.

    The template looks like this:

    <!-- 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>
    <br>
    <!--Not used NETQUOTEVAR:NAVTEXT-->
    <!-- This file is used to build the navigation item for frames. -->
    <!-- BrochureFrameNavItem HTML end -->

    Try removing the two <br> tags from the template so it looks like this:

    <!-- 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 -->
