I used DW for sometime but I’m no programmer. I like the program in that it lets me do sites that just work.
The Problem I’m having now is getting Paul’s CSS Rollover to work. Been banging my head over this…but the rollover just won’t happen. I don’t know what I’m missing. It just stays in the static state. I’ve been through his walkthrough on his site…so I’m not sure what to do next. Would rather not use the JS method.
Hi folks. Thanks for your help on this. I’m about to dive into doing the rollovers the old fashioned way. Anyone else have an idea as to why I can’t get my CSS rollovers to work?
Thanks cSnijd. Sorry…I’m going to seem like a noob here…but I don’t see where I can check and uncheck layers. In the “rollover” part of the CSS action I’ve checked the appropriate parts I want to show…where else would I uncheck?
Hi again. I think I’m getting close to having this solved. Could someone take a look at this and let me know what I’m doing? I found the layer box and checked that off (even tried it with it on). Is it something in the applescript translation tool (iMagine Photo)
Ok. As I’ve been thinking…it’s something to do with that program. I download it…start it up…it seems to do “a” conversion…but still nothing. I must be missing a step with the program.
Geeeez. Got it. I had downloaded the action a couple of times. I thought there was no harm in installing “CSS Rollover 2.fwaction”…but there was. So I installed it without the “2” and now it’s working.
Hello again. It seems that that wasn’t the problem. The problem I found out is when you have the CSS rollover in nested DIVs. The sample piece I put up works fine on it’s own…but when the rollover is placed in a series of nested DIV’s it breaks down.
I tried it on the smaller scale sample that I posted above…in sort of a simple nested scenario and it seems that I have to uncheck the “show” box in the inspector.
Does anyone have a work around for this? I mean…this rollover’s going to be about 4 or 5 nests deep. Do I need to have rollovers outside of the nests and create a CSS to tell them to position a certain spot on the page. I kind of had it in the nests so that my absolute position is based on that parent HTML.
