Black background on image

Post by Roy Dammer »

Hi All
When I have a single page all is fine but once I add more pages the active page "menu item" is black. What should happen is the background is green #99cc99 when no mouse over, when the mouse goes over the it turns to an image. The over mouse does turn to an image but the off mouse is black.

Many thanks

_menuCloseDelay=500 // The time delay for menus to remain visible on mouse out
_menuOpenDelay=150 // The time delay before menus open on mouse over
_subOffsetTop=10 // Sub menu top offset
_subOffsetLeft=-10 // Sub menu left offset

Hi,
I moved this to the help and support section of the forum.

Code: Select all

pagecolor="#000000";
pagebgcolor="#000000";
That is what is making the item black, it works to show the 'active' page. If you want both the overbgimage to work and the pagebgcolor, to show the page one is on, you could change that black to something else, maybe white like the top part of the overbgimage. If you don't want it to work, just remove the code totally from the style definition.
