I updated to 5.4.1 which cased a few issues with the css menu?
The menu is now transparent? Rather than blocking the text behind it, it is now semi-transparent?
When I mouse down the menu to the 3rd choice the menu disappears?
any help is very much appreciated.

Have you tried adding a background colour to your menu?

Yes, the menu has a blue background color. The menu was operating properly before I updated to the newest version. I have tried rebuilding the menu but that did not work?
Any ideas/suggestions?

It appears that all the text is showing “above” the css menu? The menu pops down but any text on the page stays above it?
Any thoughts?

Then it is likely that the menu layer is not at the ‘top of the pile’ - so to speak
If you look in the site pane at the left of your screen with the CSS menu selected, in order for it to be above everything else on the page, it will need to be at the bottom of the list and you can drag it down to achieve this - or use Item>Bring to front

And I might add that it is really useful if you can post a link to a problem page so that we can see it and have a look at the code.
Use the format
http://www.yoursite.com/yourpage.html
Without the angle brackets at either end and it will be a clickable link.
Also in File>Document Setup make sure that Output:HTML Code is set to More Readable

No sure if this is the right thread for this but I have just upgraded to FW pro 5.4.1 (6282) so this is possible starting point in case there is a connection.
Or maybe I’m thick. Being a good boy I want to use external css files using the page action ‘use external style sheet’, rather that rely on the default inline css styles by placing the styles in each page. I have put the css file in my site directory (called main.css) and there is a correct link to it it the html code of my master page in FW.
Here’s the source code:
Am I being dumb or is there a bug? (hose appear to be the only 2 options!

Have you uploaded the css file to your server using ftp or similar? Or used upload stuff action - if not then it wont be uploaded to your server.
In the ESS action palette (once you have uploaded your style sheet) then you set the location of the css file there.
If you select: Other then External (for whatever media type you want) you can put in your path to your style sheet and then OK the dialogue.
Problem is that no matter what I do I cannot get the styles and colours palette to give me an option to apply it.
You dont apply it - styles are picked up from the external style sheet depending on what you have defined there.

Hi Thanks. Yes-I understood all those issues, though thank you for taking the trouble to explain, it was worth checking. In the end it was embarassingly simple-I had omitted to notice the drop down menu selection box in the page inspector (at the bottom…!). AS I had never made any changes to the default ‘style1’ css file that automatically generates with FW, I had not seen that option. Duhh…
Now however there is another problem in that I can apply the styles but although , eg, H1 H2 H3 etc look fine in preview (and in the browser) in the wysiwyg page layout its WYSInotWYG as the displayed text in page design mode does not display its formatting-ie it accepts the command from the external css to format text as, say, Header 1, but in the page editor if it was default text size it remains the same size on screen. (Apart from Header 3, which seems happy to behave as it should!) Anyone any ideas?
