AllWebMenus has a very simple and intuitive way for attaching your menus to your web pages. The mechanism is broad enough to be applicable for a variety of Web Authoring tools and provides fast and accurate results.

Step 1: Specify the HTML files you wish to contain your menu

Suppose that you are using your favorite web authoring tool to create a web site under the C:\SiteRoot local folder. This means that the HTML files that you wish to contain your menu are located inside that folder:

 

 

Step 2: Specify your Site Root folder in AllWebMenus

AllWebMenus needs to know where your web site is locally stored.

As shown below, click on "Tools -> Project Properties", select the "Folders" option and enter the "Site_Root folder":

 

 

 

Step 3: Compile your menu

Click on "Tools->Compile Menu" to start compiling your menu and linking it to your HTML pages:

 

Once you do this step, all the necessary AllWebMenus files will be automatically created inside the C:\SiteRoot folder:

 

Step 4: Link your menu to your web pages

In the form that appears after the compile, select the button that allows you to link the menu to your web pages.

This opens the following form in order to select the web pages that you wish to contain your menu. You can select many pages at once and link to as many pages as you wish.

 

This process adds to your selected HTML files the necessary javascript code that builds your menu.

You can specify the method that positions your menu by selecting the <Positioning> property of the Main Menu Group:

 

 

Step 5. Publish your updated web pages and your compiled menu files

Use your Web Authoring tool or your favorite FTP client to upload all the necessary files to your web server.

Remember to upload all the AllWebMenus files at the exact same position as they are created inside your local site structure (i.e. inside the C:\SiteRoot folder).

After uploading all the necessary files, your remote site should appear as follows:
