box Creative DW Menus Pack
Creative DW Menu Pack is a suite of Dreamweaver extensions that seamlessly blends the flexibility of DHTML and the Flash look and feel to create beautifully web site menus. The extension comes with over 30 built in skins that can be customized to suit the design (colors, fonts, size) and include a smart resize system that preserves round corners and the gradient fills when you change the menu size.

This is the second time I'm posting this thread. You responded to the first one and asked for a link. I tried to add a post, but it wouldn't let me submit it. Anyway, here is the link where the menu is not working correctly.

It's very annoying to see the links flash on the screen.

Hi Bruce,

As a first step, try to move the rendering script immediately below the menu. Now it's placed at the bottom of the page:

<!-- Creative Menus - menu rendering scripts start -->

<script type="text/javascript"> buildMenu() </script>
<noscript>
This menu requires JavaScript in order to be properly displayed. Viewing requirements can be found at <a href="www.extendstudio.com">Extend Studio</a> (Flash components and extensions, Dreamweaver extensions, Tools for web design and development)
</noscript>
<!-- Creative Menus - menu rendering scripts end -->

Hello,

If you want to hide the links before the menu is rendered this is what you must do:

- First, download this menuDisplay.js file from here: http://www.extendstudio.com/product_assets/support_files/menuDisplay_no_texts.zip
- Place it on your server, inside the 'includes' folder. Make sure you replace the existing one.
- Edit your pages and search for this tag in the menu structure:
<div id="menu_holder_[your_menu_name">
- Add a style attribute to make that div invisble:
<div id="menu_holder_[your_menu_name]" style="visibility:hidden;">

We will make an update for the Creative Menus to include the possibility to hide that div by default. However, the patches are not ready yet. Until then, do not edit your menu as it will cancel all the changes.

Note: by applying this all the menu links will be invisible to search engines. So, if you want SEO please do not apply this workaround.
