Colors, colors, everywhere

In version 3, I had a submenu that had 5 links all with different on and off bg colors. Version 5 seems to work in IE but NOT for Netscape. Plus, on my imac, Safari reads the correct off bgcolor for some but not all, until the first mouseover, then it reads it fine..unless you refresh then the same thing happens.

Any ideas? I hope I didn't confuse everybody.

Thanks - Troy

Do you have code or a URL? The little red note on the 'post a topic/reply' page ain't lying.

If we could see your code we could find the bug/error or at least reproduce it to see if we can side-step it for you. Help us help you. hehe

Unfortunately it's not red in all browsers, Dave.

However, it's still kind of obvious...

** If you have a problem, posting a URL to your menu would be very helpful **

We can't help you if we can't see the code.

It works correct in IE for PC's only.

Thanks!

Here is the code:

If you will notice here in your code, you have url specified TWICE in the declarations, thats a no-no. Secondly, your second url is set to # with no semi colon after it, so thats why its ignoring the stuff after the url= # oncolor=... because it can't understand it. Get the syntax shaped up and you'll be ok.

Thank you. I used the converter and that is what it spit out. I fixed the code here:
aI("text=A;url=A.html;oncolor=cfac7c;onbgcolor=cfac7c;offbgcolor=816714;;separatorsize=1")
aI("text=B;url=B.html;oncolor=339966;onbgcolor=339966;offbgcolor=004c21;;separatorsize=1")
aI("text=C;url=C.html;oncolor=de8186;onbgcolor=de8186;offbgcolor=771d11;;separatorsize=1")
aI("text=D;url=D.html;oncolor=cccccc;onbgcolor=0000cc;offbgcolor=002989;;separatorsize=1")
aI("text=E;url=E.html;;separatorsize=1")
Although it still does not work in Safari, Netscape (PC and Mac), or IE (Mac)

Try a # in front of all your color descriptions...

Code: Select all

aI("text=A;url=A.html;oncolor=#cfac7c;onbgcolor=#cfac7c;offbgcolor=#816714;;separatorsize=1")
