First time post all. Simple question... How to create text rollover effects... i.e. You roll over text menu items etc. and the highlighted ( or not ) text will then display another color and likewise be underlined? Is this some sort of Javascript wizardry? I know I can do this with objects but this is something you see all the time and I'm always interested in speeding up page load times and cutting out what excess I can.

Hi, Doctor Fix

Not exactly JavaScript wizardry, more like Cascading Style Sheet wizardry.

See the post here: http://virtualmechanics.infopop.cc/eve/forums?a=tpc&s=3636038591&f=1246038591&m=2346098692

That should help you out.

Yes, that did the trick. Had to make sure I included that code in every header for every page I intended to use that effect. Learned something new today. Thanks.

Long time since I last posted but the thought occured to me that if your code, that you mentioned in your link, is applied then as you said it would apply to the entire page. What if you only wish to have specific portions of the page have this attribute and others using visible underlined bold or normal links? In essence two different styles coexisting.

All you have to do is change to you desired colours.Put this somewhere in the head


<STYLE>A:link {
COLOR: #576593; TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
A:active {
COLOR: #576593; TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
A:visited {
COLOR: #576593; TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
A:hover {
COLOR: #28DCFC; TEXT-DECORATION: underline
}
</STYLE>

You can use the CSS code below,but then to have different colours on other sections you must tag them individually.

Not sure if this question is rollover or animation, but I seem to be on the right thread. I want 3-4 text objects (can change to title, image if that helps) to appear and disappear sequentially. I have a female character on the page, and the text is her "voice". Any ideas? Using SiteSpinner 2.

A slideshow should do what you want. Although the examples show images, it should work equally well with text objects.
