Hello,
It seems that you moved your menu files (or HTML files) around and this confused the Linking Code (see the “src” parameter).
<!-- DO NOT MOVE! The following AllWebMenus linking code section must always
be placed right AFTER the BODY tag--><!-- ******** BEGIN ALLWEBMENUS CODE FOR horzmenu ******** --><script type="text/javascript">
var MenuLinkedBy="AllWebMenus [4]",awmMenuName="horzmenu",awmBN="904";
</script>
<script charset="UTF-8" src="{MENU.JS PATH}" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">awmBuildMenu();</script><!-- ******** END ALLWEBMENUS CODE FOR horzmenu ******** -->Please make sure that your menu files are properly located locally and that your Root Folder setting is correct:
If asked to “update the links”, do *not* do this as it will probably mess things up.
Then re-Compile and re-Link your menu to your pages and upload them again.
The Linking Code should now look more like this:
<!-- DO NOT MOVE! The following AllWebMenus linking code section must always
be placed right AFTER the BODY tag--><!-- ******** BEGIN ALLWEBMENUS CODE FOR horzmenu ******** --><script type="text/javascript">
var MenuLinkedBy="AllWebMenus [4]",awmMenuName="horzmenu",awmBN="904";
</script>
<script charset="UTF-8" src="/horzmenu.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">awmBuildMenu();</script><!-- ******** END ALLWEBMENUS CODE FOR horzmenu ******** -->Note that once you fix this, then every time you change something in the menu you only need to Compile and upload the menu files (“horzmenu.js” and “awmdata” folder). You do *not* need to Link and upload your pages.
