Good Day,

I am trying to create a horizontal menu at the top of the page which is going to need 3 levels.

Something like the scripting (I think its java) in the link below is totally perfect for what it needs, but it opens up its links in a new page of internet explorer! And I try and change that by looking at the coding behind it... which is just baffling to me, I have no idea how to make it open in the same page!

The page I'm working on requires a menu at the top just to alter a query at the end of the url, to query a database, so needs to open up variations of the same page not in new windows. It uses cold fusion which I've got into dreamweaver which is working, so if anyone has ideas, the page is in Dreamweaver 8 now..

If anyone could help, I would be massively grateful

Kind regards

The code that you linked to creates new menu's using the following syntax:

Code:

---

mc.Add("Yahoo","http://yahoo.com","_blank");

---

The "_blank" part is what opens the links in new pages. If you want the page to open in the current page, use something like the following:

Code:

---

mc.Add("Yahoo","http://yahoo.com","");

---

There are better ways of doing these menu's though that you might want to look into. Here's the first one I found: http://www.csscreator.com/menu/multimenu.php . It keeps the HTML nice and simple which makes the page more accesible for everyone.
