Hello Kathy,
There are two ways of using the Universal Navigation menu to insert it in your site:
- Use it in a template and update all of the pages from the main template file.
- Use it as an included file e.g. in php:
In order to use it as a included file on your pages you need to do the following:
1. Open a blank new page
2. Insert the menu and style it
3. Switch to code view and cut all of the menu code that is between <body></body> tags and paste it in an absolutely blank file e.g.: your_menu_file.php /When i say absolutely blank file i mean - create a new file and delete everything in it in code view/
4. Cut the menu css files and js files in the <head></head> tags and paste it in the <head></head> tags on the pages that will use the menu as an include
After that when you open the your_menu_file.php file and edit/save the changes will affect all of your pages that use it as an include.

Thanks so much. I was hoping to avoid the template route as the pages are already done and the menu is changing rather often.
I'll try the php route although I don't feel especially competent in that area!

The same as in the video tutorial but use:
<!--#include file="yourincludefile.asp" -->
<!--#include file="yourincludefile.asp" -->

As a designer and a half-baked coder, I really wanted to use the DW library. I didn't completely work. Do you have any tips on that? I already have the library version on all pages but they won't update consistently. I would try the other ways, and will if I must, but I'm working with 200 pages.
