separator img not holding style configs on mouseout {solved}

Post by nwilcox »

I've got a top nav separator image in place using list menu.

looks fine... but when I mouse out of a top nav item and/or mouse into a sub menu, the top nav separator image immediately blows out to 100% repeat of the padded area and it looks horrible. What am I doing wrong?

separatorimage="/javascript/bull.gif";
separatorwidth="5";
separatorpadding="6";
separatorheight="5";
separatoralign="middle";
separatorsize="5";

Here is the in process link - /default.aspx

okay I've tried adjusting the image to be bigger (as big as the padding I meeded)

separatorimage="/javascript/bull2.gif";
separatorwidth="17"

now the separator bullet renders but it is wayyyyyyy off.

Any suggestions? Can you do a background-image location with rawCSS?

this is pretty critical that I get fixed today - should I file a support ticket?

I wouldn't think this issue would be hard to resolve?

Hi,

I just downloaded and tested your page, getting the old image, bull.gif, right? Anyway, I reset things giving a height also, and used the newest version of the menu, and it seems that everything is OK. The version on this site is from 2008 so I'm assuming something has been fixed over time. I just guessed at the right pixels based on your setting of 17 for the separatorwidth. You'll need to update the menu to the newest version

Code: Select all

separatorimage="bull.gif";
separatorwidth=5;
separatorpadding=12;
separatorheight=5;
separatoralign='middle';
Hope this helps

Ruth

thanks RUTH!

if I get the new version will my customer have to upgrade their license and pay again since it is so old?
