CCS Menus Links

I have created some CCS menus that link to pages on my website, I have mapped the links.

But despite removing the underling from the styles. but I still get links underlining.

I have also tried the Items-Actions- Text Links Styles and removed the underline options.

Byut I still have underlining in my ccs menus.

Any ideas?

Did you uncheck the box that says “underline” under the “links” arrow drop down in the Action’s palette?

If that is in the Text Links Styles underline , Yes I have un-checking all options. But I did do it when all the different menu options were already in place.

I also seem to have another problems with the CCS menus.

While the Slide Show plays in the galleries page. if you try and use the drop down menu while the slide show plays it seems to drop behind the slide show.

The CCS menu is on the master page and the slide show is on a normal page, I have done ITEM> Send to Back for the slide show.

Any other suggestions for both problems?

If this is a Flash slide show then being Plug In content it will always rise to the top - not much you can do about it I’m afraid other than change the page layout to accommodate it.

It sounds to me like you’re trying too many things at once to get rid
of them. Try making your CSS Menu again, but this time do not style
the text in any way. And especially do not apply the Link Style Action
to any part of your page. That was needed in Freeway 4, but Freeway 5
has this functionality built in, and it’s much better integrated as a
result. Set the link style through the CSS Menu Action’s interface,
and un-check the underlines there.

When you initially draw the menu in Freeway, it should look awful –
just an unordered list of links, with big ugly bullets left of each
one. If you look at the right-most tab of the Inspector while you have
one of these links selected, there shouldn’t be anything much besides
Page > item1 > Text showing in the cascade viewer. The problem you are
having sounds to me like you have applied styles before adding links,
as that creates a mess. Instead of:

<li class"foo"><a href="bar">some text</a></li>

you get this (which breaks any styles that are trying to target the
links inside the LI)

<li><span class="foo"></span>
<a href="bar"><span class="foo">
	some text</span></a>
<span class="foo"></span></li>

If you leave the text and the links completely unstyled, then the
Action will be able to make things look the way you want them to. Once
you publish, the Action should be able to draw a perfect WYSIWYG
preview of the menu, and you should see the same thing in the design
view that you do in the preview or a browser.

Just to be clear on this, because I think it’s confusing on those
little Us, or not easy to tell, anyway.

On the links menu in the info panel, the default for the U is white,
which means let a person’s browser dictate whether or not the link is
underlined. If you have not told your browser to NOT underline links,
then the links WILL be underlined.

If you click one time on the U, it turns a light shade of grey, and
that means NO underline for sure, whether the browser is set to
underline or not.

If you click a third time, it turns a darker shade of grey and that
means DO underline the links.

Thanks for your replies, I have sorted that one out and will have to live with the slideshow issue,

Still have one other problem.

My drop down menus tend to drop down over things on a page no problem,
But on some pages they drop down behind other things like html boxes with text in.

I have tried moving these thing to the back using 'ITEM. Send to the Back.

But the menu still drops down in front.

Why is this?

Example; View the home menu on this page: http://www.jamiejonesphoto.co.uk/foliofour.html

Your Portraits Gallery link is a layered item whereas your Menubar is not.

If you make the menubar also a layer then you can change the relationship between it and the Portraits link the way you want.

Hi Snapper,

It sounds like your question is much like mine early this morning and Max’s
answer which solved mine might also solve yours too.
