Re: mouseover on two line text link does not highlight the whole text
prman,
Glad it works for you.
I dislike the way xara creates it's navbars which creates too many small images slowing down the page load. I now create text (with no links) in the MouseOff layer. I copy it and Ctrl+Shift + V to paste it in place on the MouseOver layer. If you preview it at this stage the MouseOver layer doesn't show as there's no trigger to open it.
Next create a rectangle over your text blocks in the MouseOver layer. They can also be rounded rectangles but as they're not visible there's not much point, just retain them as rectangles.
Apply a url link.
Set the rectangles to 99% alpha.
Preview again and the MouseOver layer should fire.
One slight issue with using this method is the text in the MouseOff layer remains visible under the MouseOver layer, so a colour change in the over layer might be fringed by the under layer, or you may wish the MouseOff layer to have a bold style whilst the MouseOver layer is not bold, so the under layer will show through. It's simple to overcome however by just placing a rectangle below the text on the MouseOver layer the same colour as the navbars colour.
As you're only using rectangles the browser can render them as such & NOT an image. Further if the visitor zooms in/out on the browser these 'buttons' remain sharp whereas Xaras image based buttons start to look less sharp.
