Menu Items hover color

Adi_Tanase · July 4, 2012, 4:27pm

Hi everyone,

I am new to Freeway Pro and trying to finish my photography website. I am about to create a few drop-down menus and got as far a the Menu Items. All working fine, but the menu items don’t change to the color I want to when hovering over them. The Menu Bar does, but not the Meniu Items(which are also links to internal pages).

Many thanks!!

Here are a couple of screen shots:

Also note that the word “Events” looks bold compering to the other two Links in the same raw. I think that is because the other two words are actual links but the word Events it’s just a Menu Bar text.

Sorry if this is way to simple to some of you, but I ma not a web designer…

Many thanks again!

<div id="DDMSubmenu1" class="DDMLaySty" onmouseout="FWGetMousePos()">
	<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

		<tr onclick="window.location='diamondjubilee.html';return false" onmouseover="HideMenu('DDMSubmenu1');ChangeBGColor(this,'transparent','DDMLink2','#66000A')" onmouseout="ResetBGColor(this,'DDMLink2','#666666')">

Apart from your original question, it seems you employed the outdated table- design for your page.

Better to use css, by clicking the css-button in the frw-menu, so that it is blue.

Then pagedesign.

Good luck!

No, it’s not going to break anything. If you need to post a whole page’s worth of code, just use Gist or Pastie.

Right, thanks for all your quick replies! I am not at my computer now, but I still don’t understand why my Menu Items would not hover in #660000 colour, they stay grey when I hover over them. Is that because the page was not create using CSS right from the start.
Excuse my lack of knowledge please…

Regards,

Adi

I think the point really is that rather than using the Menu Bar you use the CSS Menu action instead which is a more modern, SEO friendly method.

It is difficult to diagnose your issue without seeing the actual page.

Thanks David,
I only followed what the manual book said I should if I need a drop down menu.

Right, the CSS menu is great, fast and easy. But I am still having problems achieving what I want.
So basically I have the word Events which is just a word(menu) with 2 submenus. The 2 submenus will be the actual internal links, I would like the text submenus to change colour from grey to red when I hover over with the mouse. It seems to work with the underline and with background but not with the actual text. It must be a error from my side but I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Ism trying to set the colours in the Actions window and have Links set to no color, Hover to red. The text colour is set to grey in the Inspector.

If I need to be more clear let me know.

Thanks!

The hovering works on the email address link(mailto:) but not with my CSS submenu… I can’t work out what I need to do to make that text change from grey to red. Getting frustrate…

OK, I got them working…but one of the submenus turned purple and not grey anymore. In the Page inspector I have set Normal to grey and Hover to red. Did the same in Actions - Text Link Style. Still showing purple … My lack of knowledge is depressing! :))

Purple is the browser default colour for a ‘visited’ link.
