Your PrismWeb site has a navigation bar included on each page of your website.

As new pages are created or if you break out your navigation to lead directly to specific catalogs, you will want to update it from time-to-time.  The Navigation code is located in the includes folder, in the nav.asp file.

Add a New Drop Down Element

  1. In the file/folder list, open the includes folder, locate the nav.asp file and double-click it to edit the file. 

  2. Locate the area of the navigator you want to edit. Your navigation is created using various unordered (bulleted) lists (UL).

  3. Use the code information in your navigation to identify what changes need to be made.

  4. If creating a new drop down options, copy the code for the previous drop down option.

  5. Paste the copied code between the elements you’d like the new drop down to display.  If you’d like it to be after your current last option, paste the code between that and the closing </ul> tag.

  6. Change the drop down option text and links.

  7. Save the file.

  8. Verify that the changes you made in your HTML editor are working correctly by opening your web browser and going to the page you edited.
    Note:  If you already have a page open in your web browser, you will need to refresh the page in your browser.
