		<description>Lines 70 - 73 of view.php should be:
echo(&quot;&lt;!--[if lte IE 6]&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;

&quot;);

The table needs closing in IE6 on the final drop down.</description>

		<description>1. Share content accress pages. You should read this tutorial http://www.codeblog.ch/2009/04/concrete5-blocks-within-templates/. You might also want to check the documentation on concrete5 about page defaults. Franz made a video about it

2. Autonav. Check the properties, check the html output. Is it there? No? Modify the autonav properties to show the pages you want to see</description>

		<description>Got it now as custom template to replace the header menu on all pages for my theme, but the behaviour still isn&#039;t working quite right.  My header menu is

HOME   ABOUT  LINKS   MEMBERS  MENU

clicking on any  will take you to the page.  But that should occur only on the 1st four items.  On item 5 &quot;MENU&quot;  I expect to get the drop down to show the auto-nav to the other pages under it.  It doesn&#039;t.  Like I said, just takes me to the page and then the drop down, displayed in the main content area, funtions for the drop down on the MENU item.</description>

		<description>Well, that&#039;s what I did first, but doesn&#039;t work the same.  Perhaps I need to update the theme somewhere?  Not using the default, but don&#039;t think that matters.  Went to the home page, edit page, select the header menu and did the assign custom template.  I looks like the drop down is there, and I can select each item, but for the &quot;menu&quot; item, which has the other pages under it, it does not drop down.  It only goes to the page, and shows the drop down menu in the content area, and then works.  Also, it doesn&#039;t appear globally (on all pages).  the original header menu appears on all the other pages.  do I add it to all of them?</description>

		<description>Not sure what your problem is but you can always set the template on any autonav block, no matter where it is.

Just click on the existing autonav in the header and select &quot;custom template&quot;.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m new to everything, lol.  followed your procedure and I now have a drop down menu in the content area of a page called menu.  My question is how do I get that to replace the header menu?  Do I combine it somehow?  Pretty sure I don&#039;t want to mess with the core on this.</description>

		<description>so.addParam(&quot;wmode&quot;, &quot;transparent&quot;);

That&#039;s tricky.. With flash you can set wmode to transparent but with quicktime it&#039;s even trickier.
For IE you can create a dummy iframe which has the same size and a higher z-index than you movie. Using this dummy iframe allows you to use a div with an even higher z-index as the iframe which will then be on top of it... But I don&#039;t think it will work well because focus can change when you interfact with the movie.

I recommend using flash movies anyways. Quicktime isn&#039;t as popular as flash.</description>

		<description>Thanks!  This was just what I needed!  I prefer this over the Superfish dropdown, and it gave me a chance to get my feet wet on custom templates, too.

The only issue I&#039;ve run accross is that a QuickTime movie that I inserted in the main section is overlapping the dropped section of the menu on hover.  I tried raising the z-index of the menu to 1000 and the position was already set to &quot;relative&quot;.  I&#039;m not sure if I should be addressing this with the menu or the movie. 

I used QTObject.js to insert the movie.    Here&#039;s the page it&#039;s on:
http://www.usat-mac.us/archives/video  

Thanks a bunch for all of your great advice on C5!

		<description>I checked this in MSIE 6.0 and the last menu heading spills over to the next line

Width of page is 800px using the Plain Yoghurt theme. There are only 5 top menu headings so I adjusted the width to 160px and kept all the width values in the 5.5 hacks relative to your original values. 

eg.
/* hack to correct IE5.5 faulty box model */
* html .menu {width:800px; w\idth:799px;}

/* a hack so that IE5.5 faulty box model is corrected */
* html .menu a, * html .menu a:visited {width:160px; w\idth:149px;}

 /* yet another hack for IE5.5 */
* html .menu ul ul a, * html .menu ul ul a:visited {width:160px;w\idth:149px;}


When the css is {width:159px;w\idth:148px;}, all five menu items line up on the one bar, in MSIE6.0 but its 5px too short and doesnt line up with the right edge of the header image. At 160px, everything is perfect in MSIE7.0 + , safari and firefox.

When I made these various width adjustments, I also got 1 pixel separations between each menu item on a light grey bgnd which I didnt have before but looks ok so I&#039;ll go with it but have no idea what I changed to make them appear.

Appreciate your magic touch!</description>

		<description>Yes, absolutely. I often use page attributes to show top level pictures in the autonav. It&#039;s pretty easy and straightforward to do - where&#039;s your problem?</description>
