Is there a way to add titles to the menu bar? I’ve re-written table based menu which had titles inserted via > menu > item > extended, however this option is not available as far as I can see for the CSS menu and I can’t seem to figure out a work around.
That said, is there any benefit in actually including titles anymore?. Or am I just being ‘old school’ about this.
Do you mean titles (tooltippy type things) on the links? You can do
this in the Hyperlink dialog using the Title field.

It was looking me straight in the face and I still didn’t see it. All is good now and many thanks.

Hi I have a test site with a CSS menu that has drop down menus. I have it above an iframe box that shows a slideshow when the site is first reached. However the drop down portion of the menu seems to drop behind the movie, not in front of it. Is there anyway to have the slideshow load behind the menu or the menu drop in front of the slide show? Whne the slide show isnt running the drop downs can be seen normally.
Thanks

Hi Ormus
I’m kinda tuned into this at the moment so perhaps I can help.
(1) Can you give a web link? a frame below a menu is not the best way to render page content, but by seeing what you are trying to accomplish we can perhaps give some ideas to give the effect you want that renders correctly.
A few stabs in the dark - failing this would be:
Check each item is a layer including the menu
Delete the iFrame and import the content into a HTML or graphic holder.
I am afraid that you’re up against the old ‘plug-ins rule the roost’ thing.
A plug in on a web page tends to take priority over other content and rises to the surface.
I am afraid that there is no really reliable method to keep them in check. You are best to just design for this limitation by moving your slideshow down a bit.
I agree David. These kinds of items hold a special, what the web guys call, z-index and that is a CSS property that specifies the order in which elements overlap each other when they need to be rendered in the same space.
It could be also that you’re using an iFrame. I’d take RogerG’s advice and put the movie item inside an HTML item and avoid using the iFrame. At least from a browser viewing standpoint on Safari the controls to control the movie are like half-way showing.
Thanks for the link, and I’m also pleased that your problem has peaked the interest of some of the Guru’s that frequent this list.
As has been said, page content is delivered in a hierarchy, Ace - King - Queen - Jack and so on. What’s happened is that you have Jack trying to be a King - dang I’m quite pleased with that analogy
Might I suggest you have look at Brian Hancock’s site which I personally hold up to be a ‘silver bullet’ in this field.
Picking it apart, the cards are in order which makes it work and he’s used flash for the content delivery combined with a nifty flash skin from: http://slideshowpro.net
So my thoughts are to use flash instead of quicktime. If the movie is created in iDVD output to flash instead of QT.
Use table cells to separate the content - Navigation Menu - Content (new table cell)
