Pop up layer disappears

[Ron Duke]

Ok.... I've gone over and over this and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I've set up a "link" button and two slide out buttons. When I do a mouse over the link button the slide out buttons appear ok, but when I try to move my cursor over to the slide out buttons, they go away before I can get my cursor on them. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

i think you could fill the button text with spaces like "LINKS______". (replace the underscore with spaces)
Try the modified WEB-file.

Thanks Sebastian, it works, but why would that be necessary? I didn't have to do that when I previously did a drop down list.

Hi,

i think the trigger for the mouseover in your case is the text on the MouseOff layer. If the mouse pointer is over this text the mouseover-layer is displayed. But if the mousepointer leaeve the text the mouseover-layer goes away. Maybe you can change this also,if you use a transparent rectangle behind the text.

Yep, that's it. Thanks Sebastian! Now that you say that I remember that before I just made the buttons invisible. Thanks again.
