Hi guys, this is my first post. Please try to help me as much as you can. :)

 

I am creating an online shopping site.

 

This is how it looks like - http://expresspc.110mb.com/home.php

 

Now, if you scroll below, you see the footer.

Now, do this > Click ABOUT US

 

And you see the problems!

1. The Menu is no longer good-looking.

2. The logo pic's disappeared!

3. Scroll below and click ABOUT US. It says it cant find the page. It tries to look for it in BASE/BASE/about.php

But, actual link is BASE/about.php and that worked from homepage!

 

 

I have arranged the folder layouts like this.

 

menu.php and base.php are in root.

about.php is in folder BASE.

menu.php is governed by menumaker.css

base.php is governed by styler.css

menumaker.css and styler.css are in root.

 

Here's the codes

 

HOME.PHP

<html>

What does your menu.php file look like?

 

I think it is trying to use a piece of information that it can't find, probably because it's calling it from another directory. For instance:

 

Root -

menu.php (stylercss.css)

 

--BASE

about.php (include menu.php)

 

Instead of stylercss.css, it will be try to use /BASE/stylercss.css.

 

See what I mean?

 

Same thing with your logo on the about page. It is trying to view it from /root/BASE/logonew.JPG when it should just be /root/logonew.jpg

Lytheum, here's the code for my menu.php

for (var i=0; i<sfEls.length; i++) {
	sfEls[i].onmouseover=function() {
		this.className+=" sfhover";
	}
	sfEls[i].onmouseout=function() {
		this.className=this.className.replace(new RegExp(" sfhover\\b"), "");
	}
}
}
if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent("onload", sfHover);

The menu is based on the Suckerfish Menu style.

Ok, there's the problem. All of the link references in your menu.php are assuming that you will always call it from the root directory. In your case you're calling from the base directory as well. So you can either copy of all of the files you need into the BASE directory (css, menu, etc). Or you can give direct links for each link. Like so:

 

If it says acc.php, turn it into http://expresspc.110mb.com/acc.php

 

This should work whether you call it from the Root folder or BASE.

i believe it is because your style.css file is no longer accessed in yout about use page

 

you switch directories from / (root)

 

to /base

 

copy your style.css there

 

<link rel="stylesheet" href ="styler.css" >  that means its looking for style.css in /base

 

you could change it to this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href ="http://website.com/styler.css" >

 

that way it always looks for the style sheet in one directory

Tnx a lot guys. Everything's OK now.  :o;D

 

Here's the latest working version

 

http://expresspc.110mb.com/home.php

 

Only problem I now see is that the menu is too quick for some of the PHP Pages in the Footer. But, this is random. Anyways, that's another story.
