    Hi,
    I am editing the top menu bar for the gadgets template and only the first 3 links work . I have noticed that this is the case for the actual template.
    Was wondering what the solution was to get all of the buttons to work.

    Thanks

    Duncan

    Post the link to the gadgets template and post up your code so those here can look at it.

    Here is the code from the template.
    The part in RED tells the browser where to find that page called ABOUT US
    In the case of the template there is only one page so the reference page is sent back to freewebsitetemplates.
    Code:
     <li><a href="[COLOR="Red"]http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com[/COLOR]">ABOUT US</a></li>
    You need to create all the pages that you require and reference those locations, so the browser can read the code and point to the right location like this.
    The code in RED tells the browser to look for the html page called aboutus, located in the root directory, the same place the index file is located.
    Code:
    <li><a href="[COLOR="Red"]aboutus.html[/COLOR]">ABOUT US</a></li>
    As your code stands now the browser reads the code, goes to that location and finds nothing, so it does not display anything.

    Make sense.

    So now you have a second problem.
    The links do change to bright white when I hover over them.
    I checked your page with IE, FF and Opera.
    You may have to clear your browser's cache or close down IE and open it again to view the page. All browsers have quirks and settings check yours.

    When I code I don't let those little things bother me. I work my code so the page performs as it needs to, then I go back and check for problems and make adjustments.
