Rollover problems in NOF-MX...

[neri k]

Hi² all here on the board...
I really have problems with Roll-Over Buttons in NOFMX. Here´s what happens: I´m using the NOF-RollOver-component... doesn´t seem that difficult, but when I´m publishing my sites (local or public) some of the buttons won´t load initially. As soon as I´m executing the Mouse-Over effect the 2nd image appears and rolling off lets the first image appear... That´s only happening with some of them. Creating a brand new button helps sometimes for the first publish before starting again making trouble.
Hope anyone can help me with this tough one. I really don´t want to create some of the buttons every time I´m publishing...

greetings,

neri k

Welcome to the Xara Forum. I'm not familiar with "NOFMX". Is it a html editor? Does your question have anything to do with Xara X software? Do you use it to create the graphics for your roll-overs?

Is it Net Objects Fusion?

He should be able to help you on this.

I've seen this happen on some sites, and I suspect non-standard Javascript code, or something funky in the mouseover code.

Welcome to the forums. When you export the buttons and XaraX offers you the option of viewing the buttons, do all the buttons work as expected?
First thing that I would check is the case of the button names. I've had problemsin the past with editors or FTP programs strangely altering the image's names case.

²webmaster: great e-mail notification...

2all: thnx for your replys - yes it´s NetObjects Fusion. I wrote Gary a mail using the mailbutton on efuse.com. He told I should ask someone here in the XARA topics - maybe a misunderstanding ;-)
I have to say, that I never used Xara - most of the buttons I make with Fireworks, but that´s not the point. Just tried it with Dreamweaver - the buttons seem to be alright, but I dont wanna make all the work again, due to the fact that it´s not only one page. I really tried any kind of button names - seems to be another problem. NOF also doesn´t allow me writing in the rolloverbuttons-html-code. Kind of hard creating a popup in JS - have to publish it and then change the code in UE32. And that for every site where the Frame with that buttons is used...

Ok - think that´s enough

greetings and a have a nice sunday,

I'm sorry. When you sent your message to me, I was not aware you were using Fusion MX.

The problem you are having is caused by a bug in the code and is very inconsistent. And NetObjects is aware of the bug and it may have been fixed in an update. (In the Service window, go to Administration and click the link "Check whether update is available).

I have been using a CoolMaps plug-in in NOF called Rollover which is what I used to create the image swaps on my home page. You can also use it to create simple rollover buttons. And it does work :-)

Sorry for the confusion over your e-mail message.

I've had a look at your home page and quite frankly I think I could do with some of that, the graphic changing that is. I've found the coolmaps site and they've got quite a few components for use with NOF. Have you tried any components other than Rollover that you would recommend. I know it depends largely on what you want to do but if you could let me know of any that you consider worth looking at, it would be very much appreciated. Currently, I'm seriously considering the Rollover component and the two menu components (have you tried them at all).
