Hello,
I am a very new user (five days!) and am working on one of my websites.
The Home page is here: www.quadwranglemusic.com
After a few seconds I have used "web animation" so that the menu on the left pops into place.
How do I get it to pop back (disappear) when the cursor is over a certain area of the page? I have read the "mouseover" Help, but cannot seem to work through this one.
Any help would be much appreciated.
All the best - lporretta
Unfortunately there is no reverse effect for MouseOver Web/Anim effects. We have asked for this, but so far nothing has happened.
There are ways to work around this depending on the effect you have chosen. For example if your background is white and you want an object to disappear, you can place a white rectangle over the object and have it fade in, which will appear that the object below the white rectangle is fading to white.
I wish I could tell you that his will be changed, but I don't think it will. :(
Welcome to TalkGraphics Iporretta.
Going along similar lines to Gary's answer, look at the attached xar file. Strangely reveal animations aren't suppossed to work on pop-up layers but there's a cheat I'll post in another thread.
Thank's for your help Egg!
Okay, so failing an "in and out" action for my side banner, is it possible to bring the sidebar back and gone with a menu click where the "X" is shows on this page? http://quadwranglemusic.com How would I do this? Many thanks in advance - Luis
As Acorn and Egg have highlighted you may need some workarounds to achieve your design.Quote:

You can toggle between the two links to open and close the sidebar layer /popup.
3. Should you wish to have the sidebar autoload on the Home page, you need a few lines of code placed in the Page HTML head (there is likely other ways to do this also).
Any animation you want on the popup layer can be achieved BEFORE you place a link to it, or if you have created a link already, create your content and animations on the MouseOff layer (or any layer that does not have link), then copy and paste to the sidebar popup.

Or, in Layer Properties > Pop-Up Setting, simply un-check [ ] Close Pop-up Automatically. This is automatically add the X on the top right to close the pop-up layer.
Thank you so much everybody - these ideas have been very useful! - Luis
Luis, I failed to see why you delayed the menu's arrival.
The following is a mock-up of the CSS functionality you might like to look at:

I am sure there will be questions but try to understand the basics of:
- Add the Links.
- Ensuring the Link settings match the site.

And a simpler and more Xara-aligned version:

Initiostar, many thanks for your note. That is exactly what I am looking to do. I am trying to mimic the sidebar effect on the EMI site: https://www.universalmusic.com/label/emi/ I will try this as you have suggested. - Luis Porretta

The key to all this working is do not place any link to the Sidebar layer until you have all this working to your satisfaction.
The only additional tweak you might make is to have the sidebar slide-right when it (the popup) closes. It would require code similar to Acorn's examples.

Hi Iporretta
I have removed the http link to your site because it's a policy until you have enough posts/or the post is not advertising. Also, we don't want unsuspecting members accidentally clicking a link the Mods have not reviewed and the site is objectionable or dangerous.
You're good, however, and if members would like to go to and review your site, they copy the URL ad paste it in their browser.
And welcome :)
