I had a look at all the CSS menu drop down options from the links you sent ans it’s not quite what I want to achieve.
Please tell me if this is possible, I am currently building a website for a photographer the test site is on johnmurphycreative.com the navigation is simply portfolio profile and contact. What I want to achieve is a sun menu under portfolio. currently you have to click on portfolio for it to work.
The CSS Menu action is designed with HTML text in mind but there are ways (if it is a specific font you want to use) to embed the font info so that everyone will see it.
I haven’t tried it but it may be doable in a CSS Menu
There may be other ways ie importing your graphic text into HTML containers in a list or setting the background image for your links as the grahic text.
maybe I’m not being clear though so my fault - is it possible to hover over the word portfolio and then the drop down options appear as they do when you click on portfolio – profile and contact move down also.
can you achieve this in freeway with an image map / or some sort of rollover? i’ve been through the manual and not found anything.
Hi John,
Although you can use image (GIF) text with the CSS Menus action I
would advise against it. What you win in exact font matching you lose
in web accessibility, font scaling and search engine recognition.
The design isn’t exactly the same as your design mainly to accommodate
the way the CSS menus action works. In your design the sub menu items
for the portfolio section were displayed below the section title
whereas in my version they appear to the right. I’ve taken the liberty
of also adding an arrow to the portfolio section as well to visually
indicate that it has children and spawns a sub menu.
To achieve the accordion effect on the portfolio section of the menu
I’d recommend you use the Transition FX action. You can see an example
of this on the example page above and in the example Freeway 5 Pro
file provided.
Hopefully both solutions demonstrate the versatility of these actions
and show how they can be used to provide compelling and easy to
maintain navigation.
If you’ve any questions please feel free to ask.
Regards,
Tim.
No far from it. You had thought about using the existing graphics as
backgrounds for the menu items which hadn’t even occurred to me.
Well done.
Regards,
Tim.
