Seems like every time I follow this tutorial I get different results. Anyway, I can't figure out why in IE I can't mouse over the sub menu without the menucloser closing it first. It works fine in Firefox. What am I missing or what's hanging me up? http://www.petpiazza.com/testing/2006/includes/inc_topnav2.html |

Here's a clue. GIve your closer layer a background color - then you can see where it is and when it's being shown. Also, you don't want to un-hide the closer layer until you actually make it into the submenus. -- Murray --- ICQ 71997575 Team Macromedia Volunteer for Dreamweaver (If you *MUST* email me, don't LAUGH when you do so!) ================== http://www.dreamweavermx-templates.com - Template Triage! http://www.projectseven.com/go - DW FAQs, Tutorials & Resources http://www.dwfaq.com - DW FAQs, Tutorials & Resources http://www.macromedia.com/support/search/ - Macromedia (MM) Technotes ================== "Dan Galfano" <daniel (AT) galfanodesign (DOT) com> wrote in message news:dke23u$jm1$1 (AT) forums (DOT) macromedia.com...

isn't the closer menu supposed to encompass the whole menu? I took the 'un-hiding' of the closer menu out before it got to the submenus, but now it won't close anything...is the positioning wrong?

Dan: You are missing something fundamental in the concept. The closer layer is hidden UNTIL any of the links in the submenu are moused over. Then it's shown, so that when you mouse off the links in the submenu, both the closer layer and the submenu layers are hidden. You have none of that interactivity in your code (which I have modified slightly to move the mouseover from the <img> tag to a null link wrapping it) - div id="Articles" ><a href="#" onMouseOver="P7_autoLayers('Articles_Sub')">Articl es</a></div div id="Classifieds" ><a href="#" onMouseOver="P7_autoLayers('Classifieds_Sub')">Cla ssified Ads</a></div div id="PetSitter" ><a href="#" onMouseOver="P7_autoLayers('PetSitter_Sub')">Find a Pet Sitter</a> </div div id="Articles_Sub"><a href="#">articles 1</a> <a href="#">articles 2</a> <a href="#">articles 3</a> </div div id="Classifieds_Sub"><a href="#">Classifeds 1</a> <a href="#">classifieds 2</a> <a href="#">classifieds 3</a></div div id="PetSitter_Sub"><a href="#">PS1 PS2 PS3 PS4</a></div div id="MenuClose"><a href="#" onMouseOver="P7_autoLayers()"><img src="/testing/2006/assets/_spacer.gif" width="750" height="75"></a></div So - hitting any of the top level links should show the associated submenu and hide the others. Hitting any of the submenu links should show the closer layer. Hitting the image in the closer layer should hide itself and all the submenu layers. -- Murray --- ICQ 71997575 Team Macromedia Volunteer for Dreamweaver (If you *MUST* email me, don't LAUGH when you do so!) ================== http://www.dreamweavermx-templates.com - Template Triage! http://www.projectseven.com/go - DW FAQs, Tutorials & Resources http://www.dwfaq.com - DW FAQs, Tutorials & Resources http://www.macromedia.com/support/search/ - Macromedia (MM) Technotes ================== "Dan Galfano" <daniel (AT) galfanodesign (DOT) com> wrote in message news:dke6dj$pd0$1 (AT) forums (DOT) macromedia.com... ok.
