MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / August 2004mouse-over
I know you have already given generously of your time, but I have another question. (I should really be studying!) I have followed the advice on changing link to colour for mouse-over, changed it to "blue" and "normal", but nothing happens in the preview. What have I done wrong this time? Thanks in anticipation. Elly The color scheme dialog in Publisher supports a color setting for "hyperlink" and "followed hyperlink". You'd have to elaborate on the steps you are taking.

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Elly <style> a:hover {color: blue; font-weight: normal;} </style> Does not work on any of the hyperlinks I have created. It does work on the code for "back to top". I would really like to be able to use a mouse-over colour for hotspots, because I don't always like the underlining on hyperlinks. >-----Original Message----- >The color scheme dialog in Publisher supports a color setting for [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > >. oh you are referring to a CSS snippet. that will get applied to a textual link you create - ie write text, select it, and hyperlink it - or in any coded textual links. It will not and cannot apply to links in a Publisher nav bar. So I'm guessing it's a nav bar that you say doesn't work. You can't effect the nav bar with your own CSS.

I do not use a pub navigation bar - I create my own, with the hotspot tool and I would really like the colour of the text to change on mouse-over. However, the text hyperlinks don't change with the CSS either. I am sorry my explanations are not very technical and require a degree of "translation"!

Keep in mind that "mouse-over" effects sucketh badly. Why in the heck do you want them? It is an annoying gimmick. The worst of the genre is where the link copy or graphic actually changes. Talk about confuzzling... >I'd just have to take a look at the pub file. A lot of people use cheap gimmicks like that to hide the fact that there is very little content on that page. Worse than mouse-overs are those damned annoying little trails that follow your cursor. GAWD! I hate those things. And then it's usually topped off with tinny music. IIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Sorry about that - I had to vent. Back into hiding. SignatureJoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] > Keep in mind that "mouse-over" effects sucketh badly.

I have a weird eye condition called macular edema where things get distorted. Those mouse trails make me absolutely furious because I sometimes see crap like that even when it is not there...I sure don't need it put there for entertainment. >A lot of people use cheap gimmicks like that to hide the fact that there is >very little content on that page.

Particularly in the menu/navigation bar it would be good if the colour changed from black to blue on mouse-over, to aid navigation. For anyone else, who might be able to help and does not mind having a look before commenting: www.professionalcounselling.co.uk. Thanks in anticipation. >-----Original Message----- > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > >. I was the one who made the comment about bells and whistles masking a lack of content. I was not talking about a specific site. I *feel* like I've surfed about 75% of all of the sites on the web (I've even hit the end of the Internet site several times) and it seems that the more "fancy features" that are used, the less real information there is on a site. Sometimes you hit one of those sites and it has tinny "music", those damned mouse trails, animated graphics, links to this-that-and the other webring - but nothing else. What's the point? Silly me, it just seems if you are going to take the time and effort to produce a page, let it have *some* value - even if it's just a way to keep your family up to date with what you've been doing. If I want to be entertained, I'll pop in a DVD or a nice jazz CD or pick up one of the two or three books I'm reading at any given point. BTW, "Devil in the White City" is a very slow read.

When underlining is removed from hyperlinks as a design choice it is wise to replace that with a visual cue such as color change on the hover. If memory serves me correct I last stated that I would need to review your pub file in order to attempt to assist you. So if you want my assistance email me the file.

Will do - sorry, I did not understand what you meant with "looking at the file" - thought it was something on your own computer! >-----Original Message----- >When underlining is removed from hyperlinks as a design choice it is wise to [quoted text clipped - 42 lines] > >. the hover works on the version I sent back to you. there were a number of things I found wrong... - the menu was not really text, I believe I'd asked about that earlier. the menu was actually graphically. Because the text was not hyperlinked, but rather boxes had been drawn over the text and it was the boxes that were hyperlinked, the text was never hyperlinked. You can't change text color on a graphic. I removed the boxes that overlayed the text. I hyperlinked some of your text properly as an example. - the menu was not on the actual pages but rather on the background layer. I strongly recommend against using the background(master) page on a web publication. I removed the background page and pasted the header graphic from the background onto all your pages. I also pasted your menu onto a few pages. Once your menu is ready you will then copy/paste it on all pages. - the code snippet used a color name rather then the color hex value. I corrected it and applied it to the top of page one just above the header graphic. SignatureDavid Bartosik - MS MVP www.publishermvps.com
