Re: Issue with JavaScript and Visual/Design view editor
Hi Philo,
Thanks for your detailed response.
The menu that I'm using is a CSS list, am only just JavaScript to enable some of the items to be shown as drop-downs. The underlying HTML should be fairly standard so I hope that Google et al will be able to read it properly.
I'm not sure of any other way of creating a cascading menu structure without the use of JS or some such. It's a shame that Bravenet don't keep the visual editor up to scratch, I myself am fine with doing it in the text editor and prefer it - but I will be handing over the ongoing content updates to someone who doesn't code and so realistically requires the visual editor side...
Re: Issue with JavaScript and Visual/Design view editor
There are several good free editors available. I write all my pages on my PC as well, and then just upload the changes. Try this link to my web pages PhiloKvetch.com - Kvetching about Templates. The page on Template Template Editing has links to several good free editors. I use HTML-Kit for everything I do. HTML-Kit is a text based web page editor and it has built in upload capabilities (FTP). For a Visual editor, most people like NVu or Composer.
As long as your links are directly visible on your web page, you shouldn't have any problem. I wouldn't go changing what you alredy have, but it is possible to make a cascading menu that is strictly CSS. Try this link to DynamicDrive.com - CSS Library Horizontal CSS Menus. They have several good examples of menues with, and without, Javascript. The menu on the pages I linked to in the previous paragraph does not use Javascript at all.
