About exporting pop-up menus
Fireworks generates all the CSS code or JavaScript (depending on which option you select)
necessary to view pop-up menus in web browsers.
If you choose to use CSS code for your pop-up menus, a Fireworks document containing
pop-up menus is exported to HTML using CSS code. You can also choose to have the CSS
code written to an external .css file, and export that file along with an mm_css_menu.js file to
the same location as the HTML file.
If you do not choose to use CSS code for your pop-up menus, then JavaScript will be used. In
this case, a Fireworks document containing pop-up menus is exported to HTML, and a
JavaScript file called mm_menu.js is exported to the same location as the HTML file.
When you upload your files, you should upload mm_css_menu.js (or mm_menu.js, for
JavaScript) to the same directory location as the web page containing the pop-up menu. If you
want to post the file to a different location, you must update the hyperlink referencing
mm_css_menu.js and the .css file (or mm_menu.js) in the Fireworks HTML code to reflect
the custom location. For every document containing CSS pop-up menus that you export as
HTML and images from Fireworks, a unique .css file is exported. For example, let’s say
fred.png and frida.png both contained pop-up menus, and you exported them both to the
same folder, using CSS code for the pop-up menus. The result would be a single
mm_css_menu.js file and two .css files: one named fred.css and another named frida.css.
