A feature I would love to see added to Everweb is to be able to use the navigation bar open an external page in a new window. This feature would make browsing to linked sites much easier and allow users to return to my site. Several helpful people in the "how do I" forum have been trying to help me to do this using javascript but I don't have the skill to get it done in that manner. I'll have to wait to port my iWeb site to Everweb. |

Two issues with the Directory system you have set up now: The way it is set up now I'm confused, what do you do with the directory page. Like the example of josh's real-estate You have Main directory "HOUSES" then "RENT" and "BUY" or something like that. What do you do with the "HOUSES" link. set up a extra page with the other two links on it. Is there a way to disable the main directory link so it forces you to go to the other two pages. An then you have the problem of having to create more pages instead of just linking to the sites you want. So you customer has more pages than necessary to click through. Please address this soon. thank you |

Here's my take on how to setup a directory… http://everwebcodebox.com/layout/directories.html You can also use it to open an external page by entering an absolute file path. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Note how I have replaced page-name.html with http://everwebcodebox.com/layout/directories.html <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://everwebcodebox.com/layout/directories.html" /> ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

| Like Peter B and Elsa W I too am staying with iWeb until EverWeb has the facility to add external page links to the nav bar. Hopefully soon....? | |

EverWeb already allows you to do this as Roddy has pointed out in this thread. iWeb does not let you do this though with the built in navigation bar. If you are having trouble implementing this, please let me know. ------------------------------- Paul EverWeb Developer |

It's better to use the meta tag rather than a javascript workaround. I don't like to depend on javascript for essential items like a navigation menu. One of iWeb's worst features was the use of javascript for the default navigation menu. Only Apple could do such a stupid thing and get away with it! ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Hi Roddy - thanks, your code below works for external links from the navigation menu as described- BUT can you please show me how to open this link in a NEW page? Can't figure that one out! thanks Quote: Roddy - 17/05/2014 12:18:14 Note how I have replaced page-name.html with http://everwebcodebox.com/layout/directories.html
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://everwebcodebox.com/layout/directories.html" /> |

You cannot use the meta refresh to open a page or file in a new window. If you really want to do this you would need to use the javascript workaround suggested by Jumbo T above. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!
