Artisteer Menu Format

Craig,

Not sure if you already got this, but be careful of the menu builder. Below if how I got it done after contacting support. Underlying tone was I needed to read the directions better because this was in the directions and a departure from previous CCS technique….

You need to make an includable page (call it TOP), and it can ONLY contain links in list format, not the entire menu setup (Make the page TOP, go to HTML view and erase everything and start fresh there).

Top level will be in <li> tags, next levels are <li> tags within <ul> groups. The menu builder adds in extra classes and does not seem to work for me. To put the links in, I use the link button from FORMS>Controls. An example is below. In it, About Us will show on your menu when the page is opened. When you hover, it will expand the menu to show the 5 subtabs. This below is the only content seen in TOP, HTML view. The page properties has Includable property set to YES. The design page looks like a bunch of links with bullets.

<li><a href="{Link7_Src}" id="TOPLink7">About Us</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="{Link8_Src}" id="TOP8">Why Saint Francis?</a>
<li><a href="{Link9_Src}" id="TOPLink9">Directions</a>
<li><a href="{Link10_Src}" id="TOPLink10">Employment</a>
<li><a href="{Link11_Src}" id="TOPLink11">Links</a>
<li><a href="{Link13_Src}" id="TOPLink13">Contact Us</a> </li>
</ul>
</li>

Hope that helps. It is quite logical and seems a lot easier once you get the hand of it. I am liking CCS5 and Artisteer combo now that you can update/change Artisteer designs so easily in CCS5.
