Awhile back, at the previous Forum, you were telling me how you use SSI to add drop down menus.

You also mentioned you have a back up method where your drop down menus are on a different type of file.

My questions are ...

What is the other file type you have them backed up on ?

And ...

Has SSI ever failed here at the Zone ?

Later, Art.

First of all, Art, to answer your question, yes, CGI has failed here at the Zone. That was the reason I went to the alternate dropdown method. The failure was very short-lived, and I have never had to use the alternate again. All praise and glory to the Zone. :thumbsup:

The first I use is made with CGI and the second uses JavaScript.

All the SSI Include Virtuals on the index page (see code below) can readily be changed with the script replacer at the bottom of the Zone file editing page. In other words, replace "cgidropdowns/ with "jsdropdowns/ and vice-versa.

Oh great, now I gotta learn cgi. Know any good tutorials ? lol

I don't have a cgi bin here at the Zone, I don't even know how to create one.

Thanks for all the info, I appreciate it.

Take care, Art.
