[Pro] Image Targeting Question

I’m having trouble doing the simpliest thing and I know I must be missing something. I have an html text nav bar at the top of my page. As I roll over the different links, I would like a small graphic just above the nav bar to be triggered for the different page links.

I’ve tried rollover, show/hide target layer and several others, but so far, I’ve not come up with the right combination.

Text can trigger a graphic, right? What am I missing?

Thanks!

Text can trigger a graphic, right?

Click inside your text to get a flashing cursor, Insert>Action Item>Text Rollover (Standard Action)

The action item takes the place of your link text so the text you want as the link has to be added in the action interface.

The action item is then used to trigger a graphic or layer etc.

Ah! Okay thanks David. Once it do this, how do I go about formatting the text with the text formatting and link styles I want? I know I’ve had trouble in the past and can’t remember the trick for it to look like the rest of my page.

Thanks again!

I presume you mean you got the method of applying styling ie the old Space-Action-Space styling sandwich

Sorry David,

Just realize it’s not showing up at all on iPad. I know I can’t do typical rollovers on the iPad, but they’ve always worked to a limited extent for me. For example: http://www.flowersongherbals.com or http://www.yourhappymind.com

Now, it should be mentioned that for both of those websites I used show/hide target layer. Is it it impossible to get this functionality with the text rollover action?

Thanks for helping me get smarter every day!!!

iOS doesn’t support hover events. Best you will get will be the graphic appearing when you touch/click.

This wont help your Hover state but you can use your images within the CSS Menu action

Interesting, and again I must ask, how did you do that? Can I see your FW example, perhaps?

Sorry, David. After I sent that I realized you’re talking about an action I’ve used before. Usually I’ve used it with submenus, so I didn’t catch on at first. I will give that some thought. Thanks for the idea!
