    No, you can't see the menu in preview. It uses php, so it will only show when BOTH the page and the MENU page are published on the server.

        Doug your page can be either .html or .php - not both. So, to do this, you'd build the website as .php instead. It wouldn't effect hot you built the page - if that's what is confusing you.

          Okay you PHP Experts . . . I decided to go ahead and try to make a PHP menu, and I think I almost got it! I set up menu on brand new page just the way you said. I'm not using just text, I've got "buttons". After putting in all the links and alt text, I saved and published the first page. When I view it, not of my alt tags are showing up, only the .html page link as an alt tag. In order to use PHP in a menu, do I have to use "text only"?

                Re: Single Menu Page with Bv and PHP

                Yes Chris, I did publish as PHP. When I set up my navigation "menu" on it's separate page, I put in "alt tags" for my buttons. I then published both menu page and index page in PHP. When I put the mouse over the buttons, all I see is a tag for the html page, not what I typed for copy.

                Example: I put in tag saying "Cartoon Designs", but mouseover shows cartoondesigns.html

                I thought "alt tags" might not show up if I'm using buttons for menu.

                  Sheryl, the buttons are images and alt does show up - which is a good thing and is correct. However, if you have done the naviagion as php - you best not have an alt tag showing .html - cuz all your pages now need to be .php.

                  If you want to send me the page, I'll look at it and diagnose it.

                    Okay Beth . . . here I go needing help again. Sooner or later (sooner I hope) I'll get this the right way.

                    Here is the index page: http://cust-m-cartoons.custmcartoons.com

                    On my "menu.php" page, when I view the Navigation Bar properties, they all the page links show .php on the end. Can't figure out why it doesn't show up after I publish.

                    Here's the link for the menu page: http://cust-m-cartoons.custmcartoons.com/menu.php

                    As always, I am grateful for your help.

                      Re: Single Menu Page with Bv and PHP

                      Just thought of something (that's pretty scary). Do I have to go into my control panel and delete all the previous .html pages?

                      If I type a page with .php extension in my address bar it comes up and the menu bar has all .php tags!

                        Re: Single Menu Page with Bv and PHP

                        No, but you need to delete at LEAST the index page, otherwise the html page instead of the php will show up.

                        As for the rest of your pages, you can delete them or not, however, leaving them there will only confuse you further.

                        Please also note that noone can see your menu page (it will simply show a blank page) because the way it is built, it is a php function, that will only display when you call it from within your pages.

                          Thanks so much. Learning PHP is new to me, but I think once I get the hang of it, it will be great!

                            I'm nervous here about something - you are making all your links, etc with the name as it is now - you do realize you'll have to change all of them when you're ready to move?

                            You aren't doing this the way I thought and I just saw now how you have them named.

                              Yikes Beth! What should I be doing? How should I be making the links? I thought the only way I could publish and test was to use the custmcartoons.com with the add-on. I'll stop what I'm doing until I hear what to do.

                                There is a very simple way to avoid the links problem: make the links relative:

                                Instead of typing, for a link, i.e. http://cust-m-cartoons.custmcartoons...oondesigns.php make it simply "cartoondesigns.php" and you are done.
