[Pro] Struggling newbie needs CSS help

Freeway
1

I would like to add a menu I’ve created in CSS3Menu to my site. No problem creating the menu in the CSS3Menu app, but how on earth do I add this to my site?

The html portion seems like just a truncated version of the list (doesn’t show any of the sub-menu items) and the rest I’m assuming I have to add to the CSS style sheet.

It’s the editing of the CSS stylesheet that I’m unfamiliar with and have never done before. Then again, maybe there’s more to it. I’m a dummy when it comes to code.

Not quite sure how you are doing this but the CSS menu action is applied to an HTML box that contains list items (usually on a Master page)

You can apply all the settings on the Master but you have to preview on one of your actual site pages.

Is this the method you are using as there is no external CSS stylesheet editing required?

No, I’m trying to integrate a menu created in “CSS3menu” it’s an application from CSS3Menu.com. It’s kind of like freeway for CSS menus in that you don’t have to know any code to create the menu, but apparently you need to have at least some code chops to get it integrated into a website.

I’ve used the CSS menu action before, but I can’t get the look I’m after. The CSS3Menu app creates an html file that when opened up in a text editor is just the truncated list (no sub-menu items, just an extra return in the list) and a style.css which is I’m assuming the CSS code that needs to be added to the stylesheet for the site.

OK - I see.

The HTML can probably added via Insert Markup item while you can probably refer to the CSS.style sheet by adding the referring code in Page>HTML Markup before end head.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css"/>

You can either FTP the stylesheet to your server or use an action like ‘Upload Stuff’

I seem to have sorted it out.

1: Place the html file and folder from CSS3Menu into the freeway site folder.

2: Select the html container you want the menu to appear in and import the .html file.

3: Ta Da!

Do not try and add files to your FW site folder - that is FW’s domain and just because you have put it in there it doesn’t mean it will be uploaded with the rest.

Without actually seeing the code generated by CSS3 I can’t be more precise than my previous instructions.

It previews fine in the browsers. I’ll bring this thread up again if there’s a problem with the files not being uploaded but so far it seems to be working great.

Thanks for your help.

How does one go about buying a copy and how much does it costs?
(Gee, sure would be nice if a buy now link showed up in the app!)

Hi Chris,

Are you talking about Freeway? There should be a link in the Help menu. Cheapest way for you to buy right now though would be to go here http://exhibeoapp.com, buy a copy of Exhibeo ($19.99) and get a 30% discount off the full price of Freeway (Pro or Express).

Hope this helps,

Joe
