Want to change standard Xara navbar behavior

[cursor]

Please see attached example (Designer Pro X file).

Xara's navigation bar leaves the mouseover state active when the user jumps to a web page. I would rather that the active page button NOT be highlighted. I can't see any applicable option in the Edit Navigation Bar dialog for overriding this. Might anyone know how this can be done? Thanks.

If you want to disable automatic highlighting of the link to current page, add the "NoAutoHighlight" name to the object.

Thanks for your kind reply.

I located the target button in the Page & Layer Gallery (a "Repeating Group"), right-mouse clicked, selected "Names," then applied the name NoAutoHighlight. That's not working as I hoped. How else might I "add the NoAutoHighlight name to the object"? Perhaps you could use the attached .xar file in my opening post to clarify. Thanks a million for your assistance.

Curtis, you are using the wrong document type for a website.

Sledger - I tried creating a new website with five pages and using a navigation bar from the Page Elements folder.

I selected the nav bar and applied the name with the quotes.

I still get a highlighted button on each page.

The NoAutoHighlight only works in web documents and only works with single buttons.
Convert the doc type to web document then un group the navbar buttons and apply the NoAutoHighlight name to each button on each page.

I selected the nav bar and applied the name with the quotes.
I still get a highlighted button on each page.

Once they are a group in a navbar, the function doesn't work.

you may be able to get it to work if you add a MouseDown layer
iirc with NoAutoHighlight the MouseDown is displayed instead of the MouseOver obviously only if MouseDown exists

The MouseDown automatically becomes the highlighted page button state Frank. I use this all the time to have the highlighted page button different from the mouse over button.
