How to Create a Fly-out Menu in a FrontPage-based
Web Site
Using Layers and Interactive Buttons in FrontPage 2003,
you can create fly-out menus to enhance your
Web site's navigation. This can all be done without any
direct coding by
using FrontPage.
To create a fly-out menu in your FrontPage-based Web
site, open a Web page in
FrontPage 2003 and do the following:
-
From the Insert menu select Layer and then repeat this step to create 2 Layers.
-
Grab Layer2 and drag it to the
left of Layer1.
-
Select Layer1 and from the Insert menu click
Interactive Button.
-
From the Button tab, choose Border
Bottom 1 under Buttons:,
type FlyOut in the Text: textbox, and select OK.
-
Next, resize Layer1 to be the
same size as the Interactive Button and select Layer2.
-
From the Insert menu, cilck on
Interactive Button, choose Soft Capsule
7, type Support in the Text: textbox and
then type in http://support.microsoft.com in the Link
textbox and select OK.
-
Resize Layer2 to be the same size
as the Interactive Button.
-
To display the Layers task pane,
Right-click on Layer2 and choose Layer
Properties from the fly-out menu.
-
With Layer2 selected in the task
pane, click on the left hand column of Layer2
until you get a closed eye. This will indicate
that the layer’s visibility is set to hidden.
-
Select Layer1 on the page and at
the bottom of the Layers task pane click on Behaviors.
Note: Layer2 is invisible.
-
Click on Insert and choose Change
Property. (The “Scripts On Tag” label should read
<div>).
-
Now click on Select Element
in the Change Property dialog and choose
Layer2 in the Element ID dropdown.
-
Select the Visibility button,
click Visible, and select OK and then OK again.
Note: You have an onclick event now in the
Behaviors task pane.
-
Click on the onclick event,
change it to onmouseover, and Save the
Page. This will also save the images for the
Interactive buttons.
-
To view your fly-out menu, open the page
in your browser and use the mouse to hover over the
visible Interactive button.
