Menu Button Screen

So I have a few questions, I asked this once before but the answer didn't help or didn't seem to work. My main menu right now has 14 buttons. http://prntscr.com/3j5mtd One of the buttons it says Hotels. When I click on that to add the page I want it to go to I get this. http://prntscr.com/3j5mzc I want to make it so when a user clicks on the hotels button on the screen it goes to a custom html page. I have a created a page called Hotel and put the code in http://prntscr.com/3j5obn . What am I doing wrong. Am I a complete idiot. I set the button in the main menu "Hotels" to a custom Html. Should it be something else. I just want them to click the button and go to the hotels page. HELP!!!!!!!!!!

It should be fairly straightforward. In the control panel screen for the Button Menu, you define the buttons that you want, and the other screen that you link to. It appears that you've created the Hotels Custom HTML screen (called "Hotels" I presume). So, in the Button Menu screen, find the button you want, and just link it to the Hotels screen. Is this what you are doing? Mark

Yes that is what I am doing. But you see by the 2nd screen shot that when I click the button Hotels that is what comes up. I set that button as a custom html maybe that is what I am doing wrong. What should it be set as

Might try doing the same thing with an essentially blank HTML screen, just a little text. If it works then some other content of that screen is to blame. Maybe a graphic file name BT doesn't like...

Delete that button. Button Label (give it a name) Load Screen - press Select, then select the screen you want it to load Press Add. DONT select SELECT A PLUGIN!! You would use this if you hadnt already created the screen that the button links to... but as you already HAVE created it (and you chose it when you did Load Screen), then there is NO NEED for you to touch this. Once its showing in the list, you can change the order number and refresh.

Are you sure you have the button pointing to the correct Hotel screen? It kinda looks like you have a Custom HTML screen coming up, but no editor associated with it.

You are a bloody genius, Trouty. I knew I was doing something wrong. Something so easy as that and I was getting so frustrated. Thank you
