If I want output to output to a place holder is this the right way to use it in my template where I want the menu to appear:

[[DropMenu &menuName=`topMenu`]]
[+topMenu+]

If it is, I can’t get it to display.

$phMode is set to true.

Ack, looks like that needs to be cleaned up in the snippet code. Should be &phName=`topMenu` ...

OK. Tried that and it didn’t work I’m afraid . . . here’s my new code:

<div class="menu-container">
  <div class="menu">
    [[DropMenu &phName=`topMenu`]]
    [+topMenu+]
  </div>
</div>

I’ve also tried putting a space between the beginning of the first + and the end of the second + sign as it appears in the comments of dropmenu like this [ +topMenu+ ] but that just outputs the string "[ +topMenu ]"

Any other ideas?

I’m so sorry to have wasted your time . . . forgot the ? after the call to dropmenu. How dumb am I?!?
