Adding a Project Seven Menu to a Web Page – Overview

Project Seven has been making “Dreamweaver Extensions” for many years. This is an add-on piece of software that bolts in seamlessly to Dreamweaver and allows you to insert a vertical or horizontal menu easily.

I usually make the buttons in advance with Fireworks. I’ll make a “down” buttons” and and “over” buttons so the images will change when the mouse is hoovering. The code is automatically generated by the extension…

<td><a href=”http://tiffanydiner.com” target=”_top” onclick=”MM_nbGroup(‘down’,'group1′,’H',’images/h-white.jpg’,1)” onmouseover=”MM_nbGroup(‘over’,'H’,'images/h-yellow.jpg’,'images/h-white.jpg’,1)” onmouseout=”MM_nbGroup(‘out’)”><img src=”images/h-white.jpg” alt=”" name=”H” border=”0″ id=”H” onload=”" /></a></td>
<td><a href=”http://tiffanydiner.com/nj-diner-architecture-gallery-001.html” target=”_top” onclick=”MM_nbGroup(‘down’,'group1′,’A',’images/a-white.jpg’,1)” onmouseover=”MM_nbGroup(‘over’,'A’,'images/a-yellow.jpg’,'images/a-white.jpg’,1)” onmouseout=”MM_nbGroup(‘out’)”><img src=”images/a-white.jpg” alt=”" name=”A” border=”0″ id=”A” onload=”" /></a></td>

Project Seven’s New Menu Offering

I’ve been using Project Seven Menu systems for years for HTML sites. They have menu systems that conveniently bolt right into DreamWeaver as an “Extension”. My only beef with the product line has been that sometimes, the horizontal menu’s have been difficult or impossible for me to get centered across IE and FireFox browsers. The new version of Pop Menu Magic promises to fix that problem… automatically. I’m going to give it a test drive and let you all know. I have to say in advance that I bought the Al Sparber book “Dreamweaver 4 Magic” in late 2001 and since then I’ve used many of his “ProjectSeven.com” offerings.
