Want to change standard Xara navbar behavior

Why thank you, Mr. Moderator Emeritus Dude, Sir. =)

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.

Thanks a bunch, guys. It's a shame that Xara doesn't provide the option to apply the NoAutoHighlight to the full navbar (within the Edit Navigation Bar dialog).

exactly my pount

he wasnt using onmousedown before so if the onmousedown state is the same as mouseoff then thats sorted his problem

i think

The MouseDown option doesn't allow the type of visual feedback that I want. It looks like the only way to get what I want is to follow Steve's method from post #8 in this thread. Thanks again for all your help and advice.
