[Express] [Express] Changing content within a page

Hi - first post, so I hope this makes sense!

So far I’ve set up a single Master page with two pages based on it: Home and News. The Master page has three columns and a horizontal CSS menu across the top. The menu is on a black background and has been set up so the current page text changes from white to pink (no hover or click values).

I’d like the third column of the News page to have, say, three headlines for news stories, each with a clickable link to the relevant story which would then appear in column 2. I’ve tried doing this as separate pages (News 1, News 2 and News 3), but when the site’s published, only the ‘News’ menu text on News 1 stays static and pink, and on the other pages ‘News’ remains white. I guess that’s because the Master has been set up to point to News 1 only.

Is there a way to set these pages up so it looks like only the content in the middle column has changed?

Sorry if that’s not explained too well, but I hope you can help.

Cheers,

Pete

You would need to add the other News pages into the CSS menu on the Master page to get this to work.

There are other ways of doing this but unfortunately I am not sure of the limitations of Express to give you proper advice. For Pro there are lots of options.

I was going to suggest you look at the Tabs action but I see it is Pro only. Hmmmm!

Thanks DeltaDave. Could it be that the CSS menu is causing the problem, so might it be easier in the long run to just create an ordinary rollover links menu? That way at least I could get each News page to display a static pink ‘you’re here’ state.

This should be perfectly doable out of the box in a CSS menu

Have you a link to what you have already, online?

Thanks again David. I’ve uploaded the Home and two News pages at www.ukfloyd.co.uk. And if you’ve got any other comments, they’ll be most welcome!
