I noticed that the menu item does not act as a link in my first test. It seems as if only the text acts as a link. The menu on this site however seems to include a "hot" area for the entire tab and not just the text.

How is this accomplished?

Thanks,

pat

We noticed same behavoir -  the menu item does not act as a functional href link. Only by clicking the text itself, the menu is acting as a link.

Any recommondations on that problem?

thanks

We changed the behavior of menu item starting from Navigator 2.2 to make it search engine friendly.

If you want the complete menu item need to work, set text width to 100% then it will work the way you are looking.

Please clarify where one needs to set text width = 100% Is that in a style sheet somewhere? Or in the Nav Module somewhere?

Presently without changing anything - it works over the whole graphic button in IE - but only over the text in FireFox and Safari.

I defined a class called NavText in the Nav Module and stylized it in my Css for the skin. I added width=100% to the Box category of the css properties (shows up in the Position area as well as 100%)

I did the same for NavCurrent, NavHover, and NavCurrentHover which control the graphic button

Example is here:
http://64.68.152.3/NASCAR/TheNASCARDrivers/tabid/61/Default.aspx

it shows fine in IE - but no difference in FF or Safari

I notice that the side nav in this forum works for the whole button width - not just text. Your buttons are primary links vs child links - would that make any difference?

thanks for the quick response.

Here's the styles I set up (still no scrollover except over text in FF and safari - see above example):

.NavStatic
{
padding-bottom: 10px;
padding-top: 10px;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
text-decoration: none;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-image: url(/images/ben/upnav.gif);
width: 100%;
}

.NavHover
{
padding-bottom: 10px;
padding-top: 10px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-image: url(/images/ben/upnav.gif);
font-weight: bold;
width: 100%;
color: #FFCCFF;
}

.NavCurrent
{
padding-bottom: 10px;
padding-top: 10px;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
text-decoration: none;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-image: url(/images/ben/currentnav.gif);
width: 100%;
}

.NavCurrentHover
{
padding-bottom: 10px;
padding-top: 10px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-image: url(/images/ben/currentnav.gif);
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
width: 100%;
}

.NavText
{
padding-left: 15px;
text-decoration: none;
width: 100%;
}

Hello itcetera,
What exactly do you want to change on hover? All your styles and images look the same. In order to get a roll over effect the images themselves have to changed to the depressed view.

Yes - true - I just needed the entire button to be clickable - and that's now working - thanks.

While you are reading this (unrelated) yesterday my DNN began behaving oddly (not exactly sure why - I was changing a skin and styling at the time. Ultimately it resulted in my host account losing it's admin privileges - so couldn't update any content/modules. Weird. I was able to create a new User with Admin role and go into the database and assign SuperUser role to that account - but the host account is still unusable (not a big deal) - but just curious if you had any clue either what might have happened or how to restore the host admin priviledges since its not listed in User Roles in the db.

for setting some one as a super user all you have to do is change isSuperuser value in users table to True on a perticular user thats all you will have to do... no role assignment needed.

I see no reason for host not to work unless it is another DNN thingee..
