Navbar for ssi

Why is there extra spacing beteen the top row and the bottom row?
Also the top row appears to indented on my browser.
The space between the rows should be the same as the white vertical lines between th buttons.
I was wanting to use this in SSI when I am done with it.
These will contain Javascript dropdown menus. Is there any conflicts with SSI, having Javascript?

Thanks.

Looking at the parsed source code, you have

I got 'er fixed up.

Is SSI include coding the same for anything you want to include?
I am looking at resources online now, trying to make sense of it.
I think I am catching on.

Yes - for example, we have a footer on every page. I needed to update it for our company. So instead of me changing 300 pages, I changed one. We use a navigation structure as well. When a new page is added or one is deleted, we only have to change the nav page.

Just remember that you only need the code and not <body>, <head> tags. if you take a look at http://www.loudcommerce.com/includes/menu.html and the source code, you will only see the lists, but then when you look at http://www.loudcommerce.com/ you see the menu formatted from the style sheet

So on my navbar file,
Only include the image of the button, followed by the text link of the drop down items.
(You used CSS(style Sheet) to create drop down?)
I used behaviors in dreamweaver.

That is correct. You might check out Suckerfish Dropdowns and Accessible Website Menu for some better menus than DW's.

Here is the page where I inserted the SSI. It only contains the SSI, nothing else in the body...only as a test.

http://www.wiltoncordrey.com/includes/navbar.htm
Thisis the SSI file.

The mesage I am getting...
Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0131'
Disallowed Parent Path
/SSI/navbartest.asp, line 10
The Include file '../includes/navbar.htm' cannot contain '..' to indicate the parent directory.

I will continue to work on it. Sorry I am so difficult here. Its my first go at SSI.

I put both files in same folder, and it brought the ssi file into the other page.
Was that my problem?

I moved the navbar.htm (include file to another location)
In DW I selected "Relative to Site" rather than Document

I found that in another tut.

Do you have an explanation on how you converted your include file into a drop down?
Going from bullets to a drop down?

So when youi use SSI it does not show the SSI line<!....>
It actually brings in the code of the elements being brought into the page.

If my include file needs to contain JS in the heading...but an include file does not have a heading.

So how do i create drop downs?
If u go to www.schnadig.com They have JS for their menus. I am sure they used SSI for their navbar. I may be wrong. They recently updated their navbar. Is there a way to know if a site uses includes?

The other thought is maybe they have the navbar in a template they created, and they are only updating the template?

When including SSI / ASP you need to use something like
