I am trying to create a menu bar similiar to the one on investools.com. I am using the site investools.com for an example only. My ultimate problem is that when I create a link in a state it shows up in all states so i am unable to have seperate links in different states in the same area. This might be a problem with how I am setting up the menu bar.
Say I have a menu bar like this
home | courses | trading tools | contact us
When the mouse hovers over "courses" I want there to be links shown below the menu bar. Just like menu bar in investools.com. Like this....
The mouse in hovering over "courses"
about | courses | news | contact us
course overview | programs | reference
the way I have done this is by making the links appear below by creating them in a seperate state and having the slice over "courses" swap images to a seperate state that has the links below the original menu bar. I then created seperate states that have different links below depending on what tab you are hovering over. The problem I am having is that when I create a link by making a slice or hotspot over the "courses overview" and designating a link to it, it shows up in all states.
I want to be able to link a hotspot or slice that doesnt show up in all states. This may be a problem due to me setting up the menu bar incorrectly or maybe it is a simple setting that I am missing. Please let me know if I am unclear or if you have any questions. I am somewhat new to this propgram and may be explaining it wrong.
Thanks in advance for all of your help.
