Using Server side Page Includes

L

Lauren

I am having difficulty including my top navigation to my website. I get an
error saying there is a problem with my onload.htm page on line 17 (object
expected). I am not sure how to fix it and I have tried to by adding a ">"
at the end of the body tag but this did not fix it.

The code came from the following website and was reformatted to suite my
menu option needs.

Here is the link to the top navigation page:
http://www.westar.com/drp_dwn/onload.htm

----------------------------------- onload.htm CODE:
------------------------------
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0">
<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>onload=</title>

<style type="text/css" title="stylesheet.css">
@import "menu_script/menu.css";
</style>
<script src="../../intranet.westar.com/Drp_dwn/menu_script/menubarAPI4.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../../intranet.westar.com/Drp_dwn/menu_script/init.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>

<body onload="init();monitor=document.getElementById('mon')">
</body>

</html>

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The page uses 3 other pages called (menuabarAP14.js, init.js, and menu.css)
which you can view at the sample code website.

I have a deadline of Oct. 31st so any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

You are not working with server-side include based on the code snip you provided, you are having
JavaScript issues where objects are being requested that don't exist.

Your right, what I meant by the server side include is that I'm trying to
include that page "onload.htm", but since there is an error on that page it
is not showing up. Do you know what I can do to correct the javascript error?

Thanks,

Lauren

When using JavaScript in a include page, all links/URLs within the script must be absolute URLs.

The location on our server where we are storing the underconstruction site
can only be located by the following url
http://199.217.163.45/intranet/index.html with our proxy turned off on our
web browser. Once the site is complete we were going to point the domain to
the new site folder. Is the above not considered an absolute url?

Thanks,

Lauren

Yes, that is a absolute URL.

You must make sure that any URL within your JavaScript code is also using absolute URLs

I have verified that all URLs are absolute. The error is coming from the
onload.htm file, because I believe I have the onload tag pasted incorrectly
or it is missing something. (See 2nd to last line of code for the onload tag)

When you use the FP Include Page or Shared Border to include content in other pages, only the
content that is between the body tags is included in other pages. Content in the head section of the
page to be included is not included in other pages.

Example
<head>
.... content not included in other pages
</head>
<body>
....content to be included in other pages..
</body>

Lauren,

Sorry, I do not use or work with JavaScript DHTML menu scripts, however see if following changes
will work after you have replaced www.yourdomainname.com with your actually domain:
