Navigation Bar questions



User: Christopher 10 years ago
I am trying to achieve something and I don't know how to do it or whether it's possible (maybe with HTML snippet?). In my navigation bar, I have a Directory named "Movie Clips". When you hover over that, the dropdowns show various categories: documentaries, feature film, shorts, etc. I need "Movie Clips" to be in the bar on every page but I don't want it to link to a page of its own. I don't want the end-user to click on Movie Clips and for me to then have to design a separate Movie Clips page. Just for the dropdowns to be destination points.

Second question. Can I make the Navigation Bar's background colour and mouse over colour TRANSPARENT, so that just the text has a colour change effect?

Thanks,

Chris

So what do you want to happen when they click on Movie Clips?

No you can't do this with the built in EasyWeb features. You may be able to do it with custom CSS but this generally creates readability issues and I would advise against it.

I want nothing to happen when they click on Movie Clips. Only for the dropdowns to give options and that's what they'll click on.

As to your second point, it might generally create readability issues, but not if designed accordingly. Would be nice to have every option available to us, including that of transparency.

You would get the same effect if you make the background color and the mouse over background color the same. Then just the link text will change color.

If you were to create your navigation using an HTML Snippet you can easily make the "Movie Clips" link dead by replacing the page URL with the hash sign. Doing it with the EW self generated navigation would require editing the code post publishing.

An alternative would be to have an actual movie clips page containing a sub menu or a simple list of links.

I've done this already. But my dropdown falls over one of my background images and the last couple categories show the backbar. I'd still like to be able to neutralize this.

Thanks. I'll have to get creative and think of something else then.
