Hey Per, is the menu problem still there? I found a code error that I'm hoping was the cause of it, so please let me know if it's still doing that

Heres mine. http://www.ozarkmountainscreenprinting.com/html/mgpanthergear/

Still trying to get all my samples embroidered for pictures I will be adding in the near future. Hoping to be up and running by May.

Hi Jo Ann,
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the menu still scrolls the strange way it did before. I cleared my browser cache to make sure it didn't use any of the old, pre-fix stuff.
(sorry about this unconscionable delay! - been away for a few days and just got back...)

Doug Cook, That's one of the nicest ones I have seen yet. Keep up the great work.

Not sure how it compares... but here is my effort with SCC

Doug,

A couple of things I noticed, your drop-down menu on the Home page does not drop, it is falling behind the flash which does not flash...least not in Firefox. To fix the no-flashing flash, rename the file...you have a space in the file name. Either use an underscore or close the gap. To prevent the menu from dropping behind the flash, add the wmode param:

<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0"
ID=Homepage Flash WIDTH=748 HEIGHT=437>
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="Homepage Flash.swf">
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
<PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=true>
<PARAM NAME=wmode VALUE=opaque>
<EMBED src="Homepage Flash.swf" loop=true quality=high
WIDTH=748 HEIGHT=437 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>

Also, this code will not validate as is....but the following should (I closed the gap in the file name in the code below, so rename the .swf file

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,79,0"
width="748" height="437">
<param name="movie" value="HomepageFlash.swf" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<!--[if !IE]> <-->
<object data="HomepageFlash.swf"
width="748" height="437" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
<param name="pluginurl" value="http://188.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
FAIL (The browser should render some flash content, not this).
</object>
<!--> <![endif]-->
</object>

Hope this code shows in the forum....do not see the code brackets any longer.....

Update...and it does...converts them

Thanks Eric.

Corel Draw X3, Corel PhotoPaint, Coffeecup Firestarter, Coffeecup SCC, and Coffeecup SCDP are the programs I have used to create everything.

Doug

I had to make the flash transparent in Firestarter and dropdown works for me in IE. I want it to work in all browsers though. Never know what the customer will be using to view my site.

The flash isn't supposed to flash. The only way I could figure out how to put a graphic on the homepage was to use Firestarter and add the graphic you see as a background image. Then I could insert the code on the home page in SCC. I know there is probably a better way to do it, so any help would be great.

Is there a way to put a .jpg or.gif image on the home page where you enter text? Everytime I tried there would be no image after I uploaded. That would solve the dropdown issue! Wouldn't it?

Doug

Doug,

I have rallied the troops to hopefully answer. I honestly do not know the answer to your question as I am limited in my knowledge of this program...my bad. I feel I stuck my foot in the mud since I do not have a follow up answer...but there should be a way to add just a jpeg image, I would think.

Can you not edit the raw code? I would think simply adding the image as:

<img src="NAMEOFMYIMAGE.jpg" width="748" height="437" border="0" alt="" />

and putting that in place of the flash code in the page should work...but then again, you may not have access...troops?

Hiya all,

I just answered something similar in another thread so I'll state the same thing here.

Do Not change things in the code of your shopping carts at all. Doing this will make you have to do so every time you update it. Shopping Cart Creator (and Pro will be the same in this issue) create a specific file that it uses to load your cart, same as Visual Site Designer if you're familiar with that program. When you upload your site it takes the files from the SCC specific file and it extracts them and places things where it needs them etc.

If you alter any of the files from your server side (or even if you publish it to your own computer) then every time you update it will overwrite these changes because you cannot add them back into the file that SCC uses to edit. It spits those files out, but it cannot accept changed ones back in so it's moot to make changes outside of the program. I hope that makes sense.

@Doug: You can insert images in your shop pages by using the HTML insertion tool. The image you are using should be pretty easy to use and wouldn't need to be flash at all if that's all the problem was is how to insert it. If you look at the Editing toolbar of your pages of your shop (the main pages, not the products I mean here, although the products also have the ability to insert HTML and Flash code using the HTML tool). You'll see the spot that says HTML, click that and enter your code for your image.

Your image being huge should actually be an advantage since you shouldn't have a placement issue for the most part which is the part that is usually hard to do in the HTML tool.
Try it and see if it works, if so you can change that image to a jpg instead of flash and call it good
