openElement

Hello Again OE Community:

I would like to create TABS along the top part of the page just underneath

the header and then have it so if the user hovers over the TAB, a drop down

menu comes up where I can link to different pages.

I did some reading in the Wiki, and found information regarding a BUTTON-LINK

then assigning a POP-UP element to this BUTTON-LINK but this does not work.

Does anyone know how to go about creating a TAB (1 row across) menu

where a drop-down menu will display when the user hovers over each TAB

with their mouse?

Thank you much in advance.

Dwight

The only thing is that you have to save the page before testing it.

Dear Hobby001:

Thanks for the heads up.  It worked just fine.

I can use this in the mean time.

I did however, create my own navbar and it works as a separate

html file dependent on a css file. I have the positioning and everything.

I would like to know, what are the steps to 'embed' the code for the

html file and css files respectively inside of the index.htm file that openElement

generates.

I will include a screen capture of the top part of the webpage and a screen capture

of the navigation bar I am talking about.

Thanks

Dwight

What is the best way to send screen captures in this

forum?

You can use a storage like  https://www.zupimages.net/index.php?api=1" rel="nofollow - https://www.zupimages.net/index.php?api=1

OpenElements supports layers

Convert your navbar page into a layer and apply it to all the required pages

Dear Hobby001:

I might have replied to your solution in the openElement forum, but

nonetheless, I am replying again to let you know that your solution

works like a charm.

I did what you said to do, and yes you have to save the page first

before actually seeing the dropdown menus execute.

In addition, I did some more reading in the wiki and finally found how to

manipulate (cosmetically) all of the elements of the dropdown menu using

the zone elements feature of OE.

It is very powerful in that you can change font, color, shade and even

transparency for any of these elements whether visual or non-visual elements.

What I also learned was that when you highlight an element or object in the

Element explorer, the Styles/Properties/Presets etc, menu on the right changes.

This leaves the user so much flexibility in changing everything from colors, size,

fonts, etc., within any element in OE.

Simply great software.

I am sure I will keep learning and thanks for all the help from you guys so far.

Sincerely,
