How do you edit popup menus in Dreamweaver once they've been created in Sitegrinder? Can never get the font right and need to change it. I can see the popup in DW whenever I select all on a page but can't access it. Don't see it in behaviors either. Spry, then?

the menus should be right there in code view. I have no trouble editing them when I use DreamWeaver.

Obviously, the menus are invisible until the trigger is rolled over, so if you want them to be visible while editing, temporarily adjust their CSS and set the visibility to visible. Then switch it back to hidden when you are done.

Hope this helps,

Chris

I created a pretty big site in site grinder, and now the client wants one extra link added to the drop down list. I am trying to do it dreamweaver but have no clue.
I read a previous hint as to switching the visibility to visible, but its already that way in the properties, just cant access it.

I already grinded out the whole site again but the way I set this site up was with cushy cms, the client already added his own content and i dont want to go through every page and add that content again.

Please help....thanks

SiteGrinder 2 was used?

Did you set up the menu to be editable with CushyCMS? If so, then you could just go through the pages with Cushy and edit the menu on each page.

Otherwise, I'd advise grabbing a copy of the as it is now and using DreamWeaver or some other HTML editor and add the menu item there. Assuming there is no geopgraphic constraints (ie, no room for a new menu item) it will be very simple.

Just copy the <li>....</li> of the previous menu item, and paste a copy after it and then edit the copy.

SG2 was used.

I did not set up menu in cushy cms, never thought of that...I will try it, thanks for that tip.

I also tried the visibility but was doing it wrong. I selected the actual code in code view and then the properties changes so that I could change the visibility. That was a weight of, and I did just what you wrote on the <li> tag.

so I did get that far....the only thing that didnt work was the actual image that the links are in, so I think I can figure that out....hopefully.

Thanks for the quick response. You guys are great!
