have set up a drop down menu leaf but I cannot get the layer below to display
as a transparent image (.gif) - it keeps on coming up with a white backgroud.How do Iget the behaviours control to remove my menu on mouseout when this is not listed as an option in the drop down box. The only options I am getting are for onload, onerror and onabort. Can someone please help! servecentrix.com |

thanx Ronx but it is through following the interlackeb link that I have been
able to achieve what I have already done. Could you be more specific for me on how I get 1)A transparent .gif file to show as mine always turns white when inserted into front page - is there a tag that I need to adjust to make this possible. 2)How exactly do I configure the behaviours to get my menu to disappear when I mouseover the transparent background. A site link servecentrix.com this will show you where I am at with this if you move your cursor over the Products menu tab.

There are two ways to make a transparent gif - first a .gif with its
background the same colour as the page background, though this is not transparent, and second a truly transparent .gif. It could be that in FP Design view you are seeing the layer obscuring the page behind it, rather than the .gif itself. If this is not the case, then use the image at www.rxs-enterprises.org/images/tp.gif 1) You have an Absolutely positioned Div located in a table cell. This is not a good idea, since different browsers will render this in different ways - the div may move in different browsers. Different browser sizes may also affect the positioning. In general, absolutely positioned layers should be directly after the <body> tag, or directly before the </body> tag - but not in other containers like table cells. You can see how I got round this at www.rxs-enterprises.org/ for modern browsers, but the method fails in Netscape 4 (and may fail in other browsers I have not checked). Using shared borders makes life difficult when also using absolute positioning - consider replacing your borders with include files, or even better use a Dynamic Web Template. 2) Do not use the Property-Restore behaviour to close the drop-down layer - explicitly use a change property behaviour to hide it. 3) You are attempting to hide the drop down layer (see 2 above) onmouseout from the cell that opens the layer. This makes it impossible to select any links from that layer with the mouse (and also seems to throw a JavaScript error). 4) You do not need onload events anywhere in the page, except in the <body> tag. In particular, the onload event in the "hide" layer is not necessary. 5) The change property behaviours in the Products layer should be removed. 6) There should be a behaviour applied to the "hide" image that hides the products leaf, then another to hide the "hide" layer. Instead you have behaviours that show the (already visible) "hide" layer, and the main menu - which never gets hidden anyway. My menu at www.rxs-enterprises.org/_borders/globalnav.htm is loosely based on Jim Buyen's tutorial. However the code has been considerably tweaked so trying to follow it may confuse rather than help. Also look at Jon Spivey's menu at http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/jonspivey/menus/index.html , which is easier to implement. -- Ron Symonds Microsoft MVP (FrontPage) Reply only to group - emails will be deleted unread.

Thanks Ron that is just fantastic and locally I have created and am now using
a DWP. I cannot seem to get the hide layer(now with transparent .gif) to act on a behaviour of a mouseover though - why is this? When I select the layer either through the quick tag or by clicking the actual layer in design mode the option of insert in behaviours is grayed out if I select the <div> tag. How do I get this to act on mouseover. Once again many thanks for your help "Ronx" wrote: > There are two ways to make a transparent gif - first a .gif with its > background the same colour as the page background, though this is not > transparent, and second a truly transparent .gif. > It could be that in FP Design view you are seeing the layer obscuring > the page behind it, rather than the .gif itself.

Hi,
You need to apply the behavior to the gif in the layer - not to the layer itself. -- Cheers, Jon Microsoft MVP "Craig" <(E-Mail Removed)> wrote in message news:6CAE72E0-D28E-469A-B1B5-(E-Mail Removed)... > Thanks Ron that is just fantastic and locally I have created and am now > using > a DWP.

Thanks Jon but when I set the behaviour up I don't get the option of on
mouseover if I apply the behaviour to the <img> tag.Is this the right one or am I doing something totally wrong here?

Hi Craig,
Click the image hit CTRL + K to hyperlink it type "javascript:;" - no quotes - into the box now in the tag selector chose the <a> tag you just created and apply the behavior to it. Having said this I don't use this method for making menus any more, it works fine but it's a bit laborious, here's an example of an easier way http://www.heresyourbook.com/menu2.htm No transparent gif needed - if you look at the code you should see how it works. I've got a behavior to automate the job - give me a few hours and I'll get it up on the web. -- Cheers, Jon Microsoft MVP "Craig" <(E-Mail Removed)> wrote in message news:FA5B3AB3-1984-47EB-82CC-(E-Mail Removed)... > Thanks Jon but when I set the behaviour up I don't get the option of on > mouseover if I apply the behaviour to the <img> tag.Is this the right one > or > am I doing something totally wrong here? > Could you talk me through how I set the behaviour to apply to the .gif > > "Jon Spivey" wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> You need to apply the behavior to the gif in the layer - not to the layer >> itself. >> >> -- >> Cheers, >> Jon >> Microsoft MVP >> >> "Craig" <(E-Mail Removed)> wrote in message >> news:6CAE72E0-D28E-469A-B1B5-(E-Mail Removed)... >> > Thanks Ron that is just fantastic and locally I have created and am now >> > using >> > a DWP.

Thanks Jon
OK I'll stick to one step at a time it is easier for me to pick up and maybe one day well who knows.How do you set the behaviour Jon as I've now tried various settings and none have hidden the menu leaf "Jon Spivey" wrote: > Hi Craig, > > Click the image hit CTRL + K to hyperlink it type "javascript:;" - no > quotes - into the box now in the tag selector chose the <a> tag you just > created and apply the behavior to it. > > Having said this I don't use this method for making menus any more, it works > fine but it's a bit laborious, here's an example of an easier way > http://www.heresyourbook.com/menu2.htm > > No transparent gif needed - if you look at the code you should see how it > works.

http://www.interlacken.com/winnt/tip...ow.aspx?tip=28 in the section "Reset All Menu Leafs" I found it easier to work with a non-transparent image when setting things up. There is a cyan image at www.rxs-enterprises.org/images/cyan.gif you can use, replace it with your transparent .gif when the menu is working. -- Ron Symonds Microsoft MVP (FrontPage) Reply only to group - emails will be deleted unread.
