DHTML effects within DHTML drop-downs aren't working

[BJeppson]

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

Thank you, William. I'll give this a try!
