Menu stopped working on all pages

I'm new to Dreamweaver and HTML, so excuse my ignorance when it comes to the problem I'm having. I was tasked with updating a webpage for work. Everything was going fine until I had to create a new page. I duplicated an existing page (so as not to recreate the wheel) and added the new content. At that time, however, I realized that the menu on the page was no longer visible. I looked at the other pages, and the menu bar was gone from those as well. I had not touched the menu html file, nor the css file, nor the spry file.

I uploaded one of the pages to the server, thinking maybe it was a fluke and the menu bar would magically reappear (wishful thinking), but it's still broken. I have no idea what I did to break it. Any help??

The page I am referring to is here: Puget Sound Nearshore Ecosystem Restoration Project

Where the menu should be is an error message, "an error occurred while processing this directive".

Thank you in advance!

Correct answer osgood_

Hey folks, you are right, the code for #include virtual was slightly different between the broken page and the working page.

Working Page

Broken Page

I tried changing the code to be the same as the working page, and it didn't work. I'm ready to throw this webpage away.

So you have now changed the broken page to:

Have you uploaded it to the remote and tested?

If that doesnt work try adding the full link to the include file:

Well you get the idea use the direct link: (remove the spaces in the file name)

http:// www. pugetsoundnearshore.org/esrp/esrp_menu_bar.html

Also check for browser caching. You may have put it right but you might still be seeing the previous version of the page in your browser. Empty the browsers cache or view in another browser if possible, just to make sure.

So have you got any live pages where the SSI include IS working correctly and the menu bar still shows without errors?

My point is both files obviously are NOT identical otherwise they would both work if they are in the same location. We dont know what the source code is in the index.html file, so it would be helpful to see that and compare it to what source code the OP has already posted, presumably the shore_friendly.html file - although I can never tell in this forum.
Yes we already know all the above, so I still don't understand what yuour point is of gong over ground that we already know? I'll bug out and leave this one to you close out, as you obviously think you know much better than me and it'll just get confusing if you butt in with nonsense

What is a matter with you?

Im just trying to help as you are trying to and neither of us to date is able to because we cant get the right information from the OP. Don't take your childish frustration out on me please. You seem to jump out of your cot at every concievable opportunity that affords you.

Where did I say I know much better than you - thats just a figment of your imagination or one that shows lack of confidence in ones ability so you get aggresive when there is no need to.

I didnt know there was a policy in this forum which says only one person per thread was allowed to provide help.
