NS6 strange menu links

[scoutt]

ok something wierd happened. when I downloaded NS6 just to see what the hype was about and to see what my page looked like in it. Well I noticed it took out the menu links. it made it all text instead. if you have NS6 go here

www.motorcycleridersassoc.org

it works fine in NS4.7 and IE5.5, and I was hoping in NS6 it would be the same. can anybody explain this. or tell me how to fix it.

that is strange that it does not work in NS6. The only thing that i can suggest is to change all of the links over to CSS. that way you can get rid of the tables and javascript.

The links still work for me in NS6, just the tables don't highlight.

If you want me to explain more about how to switch the thing to use more css, i can show you. I have done it before.

well I am not worried about the table changing, they don't change in NS4.x anyway. so you have the links working in NS6. crap it is just text in mine. there we go again with the different outcomes with the same browser.

I would change them over to CSS but the menu is 2 PHP scripts.


actually why don't you give me an example of how to do it.

thanks

You can just make them all links, without the tables:

<a href="#" class="wideLink">Whatever</a>

...the "wideLink" class:

.wideLink{

padding-left: 3px;
padding-top: 2px;
padding-bottom: 2px;
padding-right: 0px;
border: 1px solid #eeeeee;
text-decoration: underline;
font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Sans-Serif;
font-size: 9pt;
color: #000000;
font-weight: bold;
display:block;                                            <------this is crutial
}

A.wideLink:hover{

padding-left: 3px;
padding-top: 2px;
padding-bottom: 2px;
padding-right: 0px;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Sans-Serif;
font-size: 9pt;
color: #555555;
font-weight: bold;
border: 1px solid #aaaaaa;
display:block;                                           <------this is crutial
}

ok, thats pretty much it, that will create the same affect you had before, but with a lot less code. You will have to change the style sheet class so you get the effect that you want, because i just copied it from my other page, but, you get the idea.

tell me if you need any more help.
