    Page from a Template - Nav Bars Not Coming Across

    suzzie12 Community Member
      Have Dreamweaver CS4 on XP

      I have a template that has an absolute placed div for the header box...and just below that a 50 pixel absolute placement div to hold the navigation bar.

      The nav bars have 8 different buttons and several sub menus. They look fine and work fine on the template and they preview in firefox fine. In the template the header and the nav bars are not write enabled...but the AP div for site content is write enabled in the copy pages.

      Here is the WEIRD behavior is CS4. In my first child copy page of the template...I can NOT see the nav bar...but if I upload it to the server and look at it there...the nav bar is visible. The nav bar has 2 java scripts that have to be loaded in the root...and they are there.

      In the second page I made...the nav bar is NOT visible, it does not preview, and it does not show up when I call it from the server.

      Whats UP with Dreamweaver or Me? I have had soo much funky behavior with templates and resulting pages.

      Can someone help figure this out with me. Some post talked about making the z value of the nav bar be 1100 or 1300 because of some IE problem...so I did that trying to avoid problems with the z value being off.

      Thanks for your help
