Please help, I have searched for a couple of days for this answer.
My webpage loads and functions properly, but the task bar says it is loaded but with errors. I do not know enough about the code to know what I need to do to fix them. The site is www.usd261.com. Can someone check it out for me. I am a 4 month rookie to dreamweaver and know only some html.

Thanks in advance,
KF

Exactly which menus on my page are bad news? Is it my main menu or the menu bar across the top of the page?

Tell me the better way to make these menus.

Do you want the good news, or the bad news?

Well, there is no good news, so here's the bad news -

1. When you use those menus, there should also be a link in the head of the
document to fetch a javascript file from the server - your page is missing
that link. It would look something like this -

<script type="text/javascript" src="mm_menu.js"></script>

You would have to add that line to your page to make the error go away. Of
course, without this js file, your menus are non-functional.

2. You shouldn't use those menus, anyhow. They are a disgrace to
Macromedia, and should have been removed from the product 2 releases ago.
If you want to know the real skinny about these menus, read this from one of
the people who modified it for Macromedia -

http://www.losingfight.com/blog/2006/08/11/the-sordid-tale-of-mm_menufw_menujs/

The slightly good news is that there are much better ways to do these menus.
Just ask, and you will receive lots of recommendations.

It sounds like good news to me, because you found the menu code that was undefined. I will read the info you suggest, because after the first of the year I am going to redo our site.
This site has been around for a couple of years so when I took over as webmaster I used the existing pages but revamped some of the images and taskbars, in doing that, I have codes all over the place that I am not sure is even relevent anymore. But going back to my original problem, will that take care of it for the time being?
