Dreamweaver menu pushing to left problem

[rmcatlin]

This is a template that I have inherited from someone else. I have updated the nav menu. Notice that when you click from page to page there is a momentary skip of the menu to the left, then the menu centers itself. Can someone help me correct this?  Here is the page - Write from the Heart - Writing Classes for Women, Men, Children and Teens - Lancaster, PA - 717-393-...

Thank you,

Ramona

I'm not seeing the issue at all in Firefox or Chrome on Windows 7.

Are you on a really slow connection by chance?

The menu could be loading before the scripts/styles take full effect.

No slow dial up here but you're on the write track, the script moves the menu once its loaded.

This is only happening in Chrome on Mac as far as I can tell

It has something to do with the PVII menu script below. Have you asked over in their forum? If you remove that script the menu doesnt centre at all.

<script type="text/javascript">

<!--

P7_PMMop('p7PMM_1',1,1,-5,-5,0,1,0,1,0,3,0,1,0,1,0);

//-->

</script>

Building on Osgoods answer.

Did you use the PVII extension to modify the menu?

Hi pziecina, I didn't create this site. I inherited it;( I don't use Dreamweaver much and have never used templates.

There are folders p7pmm and p7tmm, but I have not touched them.

Here are the scripts in the head. I am not a js person, so I'm lost. I notice that the p7 is loading last though.

Does this give any direction?

<script type="text/javascript">

  var _gaq = _gaq || [];

  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-43175881-1']);

  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

  (function() {

    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;

    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';

    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);

  })();

</script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="p7tmm/p7TMMscripts.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="p7pmm/p7PMMscripts.js"></script>

<link href="p7pmm/p7PMMh04.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />

The menu was originally created using an Extension purchased from PVII, and the script Osgood showed is the validation for the menu structure -

<script type="text/javascript">

<!--

P7_PMMop('p7PMM_1',1,1,-5,-5,0,1,0,1,0,3,0,1,0,1,0);

//-->

</script>

Without the PVII extension, modifying the menu does not update this script, and is possibly the cause of the problem.

Unfortunately, if you do not have the extension, (purchased) then PVII may not be able to help you, and we do not know what the script should be modified to read, (it would be unethical for us to do so anyway).

All I can suggest is that you contact PVII and ask them for help, and purchase the extension if not already done so, (you will require Dw in order to use the extension) -

Thanks. I've posted in the PVII forums. I assume the extension was already purchased since the folders are there. Thanks again.

The extension was no doubt purchased by the person who built your Template.  However, that does not transfer the extension to you or your computer.

Interesting, Nancy. I love inheriting stuff. And of course, whoever made this site for her is long gone;)
