HartleySan Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 In the following line, you're assigning a class (as I suspected): if ($this_page == $v) echo ' class="selected"'; Are you sure this isn't the issue with "Home" being blue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why are the codes being displayed vs the links and tabs (images). I have check several times too make sure that I have not left nothing out or mistype any codes. Then I just copied from source files and still get the codes displaying not the links and tab images. The page heading is displaying along with the color that's outline in the css file. I will troubleshoot some more, maybe I'm still doing something wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HartleySan Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 It has been a while since I did the first example in the book, so I don't remember well, but there are a number of files necessary for the site that Larry does not bother to talk about in the book, since they're very straightforward and distract from the point of the book. Among these files are the CSS files and graphics. Larry mentions at a few points (I think) that you need to download the remaining code from this site to implement everything properly. He most likely has definitions in the CSS file(s) for including the necessary background images to make everything animate properly. As for the code view in DW, I cannot comment. For all we know, it might be buggy, but it's probably just the missing images. Have you tried clicking on the other links (assuming you have the proper pages to be linked to) and seeing if the blue text changes to another tab?
