RoboHelp 7 HTML: My text DHTML drop-down links are in bold type. When I mouse over them, they remain bold because I have the bold check box selected as an effect. Works fine.
Until I try to do the same thing within a DHTML drop-down topic. Then the effect usually does not work, but sometimes seems to. I cannot find a pattern. In all cases, the bold check box is selected, but often when I mouse over the link, the bolt text turns to regular text. Has anyone experience this and, hopefuly found a solution?

Hi,
Instead of applying an effect, you can also set the styling in the style sheet. For instance, add:
a.dropspot, a.dropspot:hover { font-weight: bold; }
This will keep your dropdown spots bold.
That eliminates the need for effects. I've also noticed that not all effects work predictably in browsers other than IE.
Greet,
Willam
