when i look at mine with FTP client (FileZilla) i see ghost...  :o  i mean uh in uploads/java, a folder i created, the 2 files in the path...
public_html  i don't know what that is..
the spelling of your files are case sensitive upper/lower sometimes i clik to rename them and copy the name to paste...
anyway, open the niftylayout.js file, i have to FTP to site, rite clik file, choose edit/view, opens in PSPad editor, default for me, you should see, if it's still the original niftyLayout you downloaded.....

/*nifty corners layout*/

window.onload=function(){
Nifty("div#menu a","small transparent top");
Nifty("ul#intro li","same-height");
Nifty("div.date");
Nifty("div#content,div#side","same-height");
Nifty("div.comments div");
Nifty("div#footer");
Nifty("div#container","bottom");
}

it has footer as a default 'call' that makes me think your path mite not be correct...
FTP to site, open uploads folder, riteclik, create new directory, name it java, ok, now clik open that folder, upload "niftycube.js"  "niftyLayout.js"
make new path in header...




copy/paste in header, i found out for some reason the  .  before /uploads  mattered...

  HTH

BTW: if you change/delete anything in that niftyLayout file don't leave any weierd spaces or "," , default mite make the rest of your site look fun.  :D

Just wanted to point out when using don't forget about those {literal}{/literal} tags in cmsms.  ;).  That threw me in a loop for awhile. ;D  I visited your test http://www.excal-test.co.uk/cms/index.php. So I guess you figured it out  :).  Looking good!  ;)

Mark, general question here.  What is the difference in Cubes or Corners?  ??? It seems essentially they are the same, just different way of achieving the same goal?  I am too lazy to test both.  ;D

I used fp a few years back, because it was installed free on my os.  After I got my hands on dw I never touched fp again.  All html editors are just tools, in the end sometimes all you need is just notepad.  I don't know if you do any php coding, but have you tried or heard of php designer 2006? http://www.mpsoftware.dk/phpdesigner.php

It's free I think, I heard great raves about it in another forum.  Just too lazy to try it.  But wondered if you have heard about it.  Anyway, getting off topic here.  Thanks again.

Sincerely,
David

Hi !  :)

With Mark's help I managed to get everything sorted. My problem was my path to the javascript files. Anyway thanks Mark!  :D
I shall be playing with these corner thingies all day!

David, I also use Dreamweaver for FTP and general web design. I couldn't do without out...it also helps me keep my web files and site definitions in order (I'm incredibly messy when it comes to file organisation!)

Kind regards, Debra.  :)

Hiyya :) take a look:

http://www.excal-test.co.uk/cms/index.php

Ok..it looks fine in FF but in IE the round corners on the top of the menu is missing.

Does it need a conditional tag in the template for IE?

Kind regards, Debra.  :)

Wonder if the corners should be applied directly to the ul for IE

not tested but:
in niftylayout.js  try Nifty("div#menu_vert ul");

I cant define why there is no CSS included in my test page
Actually the js files are included correctly.

the #test id in grey color is called in the niftyLayout.js but it still not showing the nifty vision

view it here.

do you have a folder in your root called js ...
in your header...




i'm not sure if CMSMS can read this or not but you might want to do like i posted a few up...

with FTP client goto site, open uploads folder, riteclik, create new directory, name it java, ok, now clik open that folder, upload "niftycube.js"  "niftyLayout.js"
make new path in header...




just for kiks

I missed the CSS file that come with Nifty corners
it's added automatically by javascript but I did not find it in the first look.

I download nifty corners directly from Alessandro Fulciniti's site

http://www.html.it/articoli/niftycube/NiftyCube.zip

Then I put the CSS in the root directory of the CMSms and the nifty corners rise up.
