Navbar sub-menus have stopped appearing. (XDPX 12.8)

All the buttons in the navbar seem to be at the exact same positioning on both layers. But I still can't soft group them. Back to the manual....

I looked at the Archive pages but it doesn't seem that they're so big. You could use pop-up layers for the Exhibitions page so you don't have the depth problem. I would try to put it all in one Xara file. The maintenance would be much easier.

UPDATE:

Looks like all the grouping got snaggled up, so I'll have to rebuild the affected navbars. And then try to convince the artist who maintains this site that she needs to be even more careful about touching the navbars.

So the problem is solved, albeit with quite a bit of drudgery left to do.

Any suggestions on how to prevent accidental mods to navbars would be helpful.

Thanks for the feedback,

See my last post. The complexer your web document, the easier it is to make accidental mistakes when making modifications.

NavBars are on MouseOff, MouseOver and MouseDown layers so lock these layers and use new layers on top to add other content.
If too radical, just lock the NavBar object itself.
