Jump Menu

[Jeney]

I don't know why this is happening - but here is the scenerio... On my page:

http://www.icsmedical.net/ProductPages/ProductInfo.htm

You will see some jump menus on the left side in the page - when on this page and any other pages that are in the jump menus, you cannot use the "Home - Sitemap - Contact" options from the flash movie as it redirects the user to the wrong URL (it puts ProductPages in front of all the links - Ex. instead of going to http://www.icsmedical.net/index.html as home it goes to http://www.icsmedical.net/ProductPages/index.html) - this doesn't happen in any other section - just the Product Pages area which has its own template. I don't know why this is happening and am at a total loss - its got to be something in my coding - but no clue on what!!! Can anybody help?

It is the standard DW MX 04 Jump Menu stuff and it insert the following code:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_jumpMenu(targ,selObj,restore){ //v3.0
eval(targ+".location='"+selObj.options[selObj.selectedIndex].value+"'");
if (restore) selObj.selectedIndex=0;
}
//-->
</script>

And an example of the code for the menus would be:

<select name="GE" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">
<option selected>GE Products</option>
<option value="../ProductPages/GE CT Products.html">CT's</option>
<option value="../ProductPages/cti.html">... CTI</option>
<option value="../ProductPages/hispeed.html">... HiSpeed</option>
<option value="../ProductPages/Prospeed.html">... Prospeed</option>
<option value="../ProductPages/GE MRI Products.html">MRI's</option>
<option value="../ProductPages/cvi.html">... CVi Short Bore</option>
<option value="../ProductPages/profile.html">... Profile</option>
<option value="../ProductPages/Functool2000.html">... Signa FuncTool2000</option>
<option value="../ProductPages/idrivepro.html">... Signa IDrivePro</option>
<option value="../ProductPages/GELX.html">... Signa LX Short-Bore</option>
<option value="../ProductPages/smartprep2000.html">... Signa SmartPrep 2000</option>
</select>

Have you tried changing the link in the flash program to a direct link to the home page?

ex: http://www.icsmedical.net/index.html

That's the wierd thing about it...it isnt the flash - it is something that code is doing a redirect of some sort that only affects the links on the flash...all my other pages outside of the product pages use the same flash movie and the other links within the product pages (Imaging Equipment etc. ) and it works fine...

this problem usually occurs when the Flash movie is in a different
folder than the HTML page and you're using relatives paths. one solution
is to use the base attribute, do a search in Adobe site
