Stretch buttons, how to make them more clear?

[zaoka]

Is there a way to make words inside of stretch buttons more clean when exported?

Or to make text export directly in front of the button.

??

I tried to delete text and than create another one in front of the button but than mouse pointer act strange when exported..

Hi zaoka,

Usually the text is just as clear on stretchy buttons as it is on non-stretchy buttons.

Could you please post a .web file so that we can see exactly what is going on?

To keep the text sharp when grouping with a button apply the name HTMLText to the text object. See attached

Drwyd I didn't know you could do that, looks much sharper thanks!.

One small problem: WD6 has the menu button for the 'current' page in mouse_over state, (web standards thing I think) so for example on the home page the 'Home' is shown as constant Mouse_Over state- I am having problems naming this 'HTMLText' as it seems to make the text disapear?

It might be the way I have grouped things so will play around.

Hmm, getting some odd results. This file (created in XWD5) previews ok in XWD5 but not in XX5. Does it work in XWD6 ?

Does it work in XWD6 ?

The button didn't work. Only light gray showed, no text. I changed the links on both layers to "#" in the "Link to Web or Email address" field and then it worked. I also tried inserted a second page and linking the buttons accordingly. Then it also worked.

The linking to page 2 method does not work for XX5 The only method that seems to work consistantly for me across (and between) XWD5, XWD6 and XX5 is to use pop up layers instead of the MouseOver layer.

Aha - Apply the name NoAutoHighlight to the MouseOff button group

Can you try to edit this button?

These work in XWD5
