I concur on this issue, it's definitely a problem. I played with it quite a bit just now trying to find a way to do this, and within the menu builder there is no way to do this that I can see. No matter how you try it, it always puts it at the end, whether you hit the "Add Root Item" or the "Add Sibling" button.

If you are doing your site in the Code view of the HTML Editor Robert, you can just add another section very easily by just copying and pasting one of the sections of your menu. Here is an example menu that I created and how you would do that: (if you are using the Visual part, or VSD or other visual program, you'll need assistance on how to edit this from them or others here as I don't use them to know how that would work, sorry.

To create a new Root item, just copy the code below that is bolded, and paste it right after that same exact line. Then rename the link and the Untitled3 to the new link and title address and you're good to go. Hope that helps.

<ul class="menu-menu">
<li class="first"><a href="http://">Untitled1</a></li>
<li><a href="http://">Untitled2</a></li>
<li><a href="http://">Untitled3</a></li>
<li><a href="http://">Untitled3</a></li> ..... Pasted this one here to show you where it goes, just edit the bolded spots in this line)
<li>
<a href="http://">Untitled4</a>
<ul>
<li class="first"><a href="http://">Untitled8</a></li>
<li><a href="http://">Untitled14</a></li>
<li><a href="http://">Untitled15</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<a href="http://">Untitled5</a>
<ul>
<li class="first">
<a href="http://">Untitled11</a>
<ul>
<li class="first"><a href="http://">Untitled12</a></li>
<li><a href="http://">Untitled13</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="http://">Untitled6</a></li>
<li><a href="http://">Untitled7</a></li>
</ul>

This problem is related to my suggestion that an up/down button be added to CSS Menu designer, as on many other similar programs.
You can then simply add an item to the bottom of the list and jump it up to it's position with the up button.

Thank you Jo Ann -- your solution confirms what I found when experimenting with the code myself (I've coded web sites in html since 1996, but am new to CoffeeCup software). Hoped I was overlooking some feature in the CSS Menu Builder which would provide a more elegant solution.

Right-on Zipper! The addition of an up/down function for menu items and subitems would certainly make modifying menus created with the CSS Menu Designer much easier and more intuitive. Hope this feature is added in the near future.

After using DW for many a year I have been made unemployed so my license will soon be void. So I now taken the plunge and are giving Coffee Cup HTML Editor a go and, so far very impressed!!

My one and only bug bear with the program is that it does not serve Server Side Includes. Is this feature on the list for future versions? If so, this could be giant leap forward for Coffeecup in web development software.

Hey everyone,

We just started the beta of our latest release of the HTML Editor.

We're very excited about the changes and updates in this version of the HTML Editor. As many of you know, the CoffeeCup HTML Editor has been around a long time and pioneered many of the features that are common in other tools today. Well, with this release we're continuing that trend by being the first to natively support HTML5 and CSS3 for code completion, syntax highlighting, and more. Now not only can you use these exciting new advances in markup and style with ease, we've made it much easier to customize and control how the code completion and markup tools work.

That's not all we've done though; there are also lots of tweaks, enhancements, and bug fixes. If you're interested, you can sign up for the beta by emailing me at headhoncho@coffeecup.com from the email address you use for your account with us.

Thanks for your help!

I completely agree with this, it would be an ENORMOUS help to have SSI abilities on local machines.

I'm excited about the new release and would like to someday see the ability to copy duplicate content to several or all pages of a website...example: with a Google ad words search box i would be able to copy it to all pages vs. one page at a time.

Thanks for your time

HTML5 and CSS3 are ok for experimental purposes, but UTF-8 was standardized in '93. Is it going to be added in the next version?

Thanks Eric for your support
