I had purchased Menu Builder on line. I used it on my site and was very happy with it. My computer was stolen at one point so I downloaded the version that was available at that time. Now I;m lead to believe I have to open and edit each page, one by one in order to be able to use the newer version. That's roughly 40-50 pages. I'm not a web guy per say, just a hobbiest. I wish there was a less confusing way to do this.

Hi Brian,

I'm a 'hobbyist' like yourself - if you are able to use SSI you can call the menu with:



If ever I have to update the menus all I have to upload are the relevant files (iemenu.js etc), no alterations have to be made to your content pages. It would of course mean a rewrite for your current pages but would save in the time long-term.

I have over 2000 pages and as time permits I go through them updating to the current layout (or deleting if needed). This is the only time pages need updating.

Hope this is of some help - there might be other ways. I would imagine Xavier will jump in fairly quick if this is the case.
