CSS and menus

I'm working an a page... http://www.start.ca/users/bbscentr/ and I'm
trying to get CSS set up so I can change the menu/menu options as I
change sections on the site (The whole point of CSS, of course ;) )

I can't seem to get it to work though. Can anyone tell me what I'm
missing?

I'm new to CSS, so please forgive my naivete(sp?)

Don't use frames, in general, for a variety of reasons that have been
discussed here many times--use Google to find them.

If you do use frames, there's nothing CSS can do to change elements'
appearance in one frame based on what is being displayed in another frame.

But my previous two points sidestep the main point: The fact that you want
them to change contradicts the number one reason anyone does use frames: to
maintain portions of the display that *don't* change as the user navigates
the site. Why are you using frames? Make each page a page, with banner,
links, and all.

Quoth the raven Rob Ireland:

That is not a CSS file. It's HTML and JavaScript.

Here's a CSS of mine that does "rollovers" with no JavaScript required
at all.

Yes, the CSS!

Hmm... obviously. :-)

The only thing in that file that even looks like CSS is the first line;
and even then, it's for a non-existent HTML element!

I think you should start with some HTML and CSS tutorials to learn the
difference between HTML, CSS and then JavaScript. They are three
entirely seperate langauges, yet you seem to have mashed all three into
whatever that file is meant to be.

Try W3Schools [1] to start with. Look at the CSS and HTML tutorials,
and then take a look at some more of the HTML/CSS beginner resources
Dave Shea collected recently [2|3]. Read through all the comments, but
take note that W3 Schools does have some failings, but it's a reasonable
start for a beginner like yourself.

I have question about the technique for css dropdown menus described in http://www.alistapart.com/articles/horizdropdowns/. Based on an html list, it has a few items in a 1st order list and further 2nd order lists that appear to the right when hovering over items in the 1st order. Anyone figured how to modify to go to n order greater than 2? Bit tricky I found. I could get the other orders but they all appeared when hovering over the 1st...

I found this script for cascading menus, however, I cannot reach the author to solve the bug I am having when I add a second menu to it.

How do I get make the first menu disappear when I click on the second and vice versa? Please help...thanks.

In Access 95/97 I used to be able to create pull down menus (File,Edit ...) from a macro. It seems there used to be some wizard for that. However in Access 2000 it seems you have to build your menus by customizing a toolbar. With this method you have to create a separate macro for every single menu and sub menu. The old method would allow me to include several menus (File/ print/ page setup ...) all within one macro. Now it seems I...

The only reason I ask is that no one has made this subject clear or given a definitive answer. What I would like to do is, after turning off all the menus/tbars/etc using the startup options. Upon restarting Access, when an admin is detected (I use a GetSystemUser() function) I want to restore everything so that Access behaves like normal, ie. all menus/tbars/etc show up (only where they are supposed to show up).

I recently discovered, that if you set the startup options for "security", you will have alot of work do to get Access back to "normal". If you disable the built-in menus/toolbars you'll have to reconstruct the one you want as a custom menu/shortcut(popup)/toolbar. All this was a long journey in order to allow the user to sort/copy on a datasheet view of a subform, with all the menus disabled in the startup options.

I distribute an A 2000 app as a mde. On a few customers, my custom menus are overwritten. The top menu is generally there but the choices on the menus are gone or replaced by something else. I can't figure this one out. Any ideas on what may be causing this? It happens on machines with A 2000 and A 2003, Win Home and Win XP. I've yet to see a pattern but it happens on about 3 or 4% of the users machines.

Hello all, For right-click (shortcut) menus in access 2007, I've been using a round-about method of opening access 97 on an old computer, modifying my own custom shortcut menus, then importing the menus only into my access 2007 project. This is proving cumbersome (especially since my old pc with access 97 likes to blue screen when running acc 97), and I was wondering if there's an easier way?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
