My link and pop up menus work in the Fireworks preview, but not after importing
them to my webpage in Dreamweaver : http://www.belovenow.org/index2.html
All the behaviors and the menu lists are not showing. Any idea what's going
on? I've been trying to figure this out myself all day.
Thanks!

Which version of Fireworks are you using? Which HTML editor are you using?

Note that the link to your style sheet is pointing to your own hard drive:

<link rel="stylesheet"
href="file:///Macintosh%20HD/Dreamweaver%202/Configuration/Templates/t7/styles.css"
type="text/css">
<style type="text/css">

Thank for replying! I'm in Dreamweaver8 and FireworksMX 2004 (to create the
buttons). To be honest, i'm self taught and I'm embarassed to say I don't know
how to create a style sheet yet and I'm not sure what an html editor is.

I've gotten the links to work now by using the 'copy to clipboard' export
options and pasting the html in Dreamweaver. But, the menus are popping up so
far below the links and I'm not sure why because they work perfect in the
Fireworks preview:

Thanks again so much for your help.

Dreamweaver is an HTML editor.

The first thing you need to do is define your site in Dreamweaver.

To set up a Dreamweaver site: Select Site > Manage Sites.
The Manage Sites dialog box appears. If you don?t have any Dreamweaver
sites defined, then the Site Definition dialog box appears and you can
skip the next step.

Click the New button. The Site Definition dialog box appears.

Do one of the following: Click the Basic tab to use the Site Definition
Wizard, which steps you through the setup process.

Complete the Dreamweaver site setup process: For the Site Definition
Wizard, answer the questions on each screen, then click Next to advance
through the setup process or click Back to return to a previous screen.

Note that because you are using different versions of Dreamweaver and
Fireworks, they will not be able to interact with one another in the
same way they would if you had the same versions. That said, export from
Fireworks in this way:

First, optimize the images in the Optimize panel. Then choose File >
Export. In the Export dialog box:

For Save in (at the very top of the dialog box) choose the root folder
of your site. That's the main folder for the site that you see in
Dreamweaver's Files panel. Next, give the file a name. Choose Export
HTML and images. For HTML choose Export HTML File, for Slices choose
Export slices. If you have created an assets folder for the images in
your Dreamweaver site, click in the Put images in subfolder box and
browse to the assets folder to select it. Finally, click on the Export
button.

In Dreamweaver: to import the Fireworks material onto your Dreamweaver
page, place the cursor where you want it to go, and then choose Insert >
Image Objects > Fireworks HTML.

That should do it for you.

Linda,
I had defined my site and imported the html from Fireworks in the way you
described.
All is working well expect that the pop up menus are popping up way below the
nav bar instead of attached to it. It all works fine in the Fireworks preview
so I'm assuming something is happening in Dreamweaver. I've tried re-exporting
and updating the fireworks html several times thinking maybe something didn't
come through but It seems I've got all the html and javascript downloaded
properly into the Dreamweaver page.
I don't know..I'm stumped.
Thanks for your replies.
