Clarification and quick answer: Dreamweaver’s drop‑down/menu feature is not just the single HTML file seen in Design view. was correct that all generated assets must be uploaded, and was also right to call out that a separate support file (an external script the page references) needs to be where the HTML expects it. Missing or mis‑located support files are the usual reason the menu shows in Dreamweaver but not on a live server.

Checklist to verify

  • Inspect the published HTML source for external references (script, stylesheet, image paths) and note their relative paths.
  • Upload every file referenced by the page from the local site folder (scripts, images, any small CSS snippets).
  • Confirm the referenced files actually return 200 OK on the server (paste the resource URL into a browser).
  • Use Developer Tools → Network/Console on a reload to spot 404s or JavaScript errors.
  • Remember servers can be case‑sensitive; file name mismatches (e.g., upper/lowercase) will break links.

Example of how the page normally references the support script

<head>
  <script src="path/to/menu-support.js"></script>
</head>

If that path is wrong or the file is missing, the menu script won’t run.

Other notes: check that image slices used by the menu are also uploaded, verify Dreamweaver’s site root and publish settings so relative paths stay correct, and ensure the server serves script files with a normal MIME type. For older Dreamweaver menus, it’s often easier to recreate the menu or switch to a modern CSS/JS solution if asset management keeps failing.

I think you haven't uploaded all the files generated by dreamweaver. Just have a look at directory and make sure you have put all those files into server.

its not asking to upload txt files its .js file "mm_", it should be available within same folder of your .htm page location where you saved your main page.

If you don't find it i have attached it to this post.

Just upload that mm_ and it should work fine...

Cheers
