Hello, I've identified a possible issue with the new VSD. When creating rollover images using the MouseOver function, only the top images are copied to the files folder by VSD and not the under image.

Then, when the site is uploaded all you see when you rollover the image is a blankspace with the red X symbol.

Is this a known issue? Is there a fix in place already? Help! My site relys on this function for its main navigation menu

I have tried the same thing, and I have no issues with it. I created a text mouseover and a pic mouseover, and both worked fine. I uploaded the page using the internal FTP in VSD.

Maybe if you could describe your exact steps...

Thanks for the response, I've not done anything different to any previous times before in older versions of VSD.

Created the mouseover using the mouseover tool, and clicked save. when I preview offline I see the red x boxes where the second image should be.

When I try and upload i get this error message:

When I check the files in the folder VSD creates, the original top image is there but there are no files with a 'MO_IMGNAME' format or the image with its original name (minus the MO_ bit added by VSD).

Hi Haydnjames,
try this way of doing it.

seems from your discription it is done different

Erm, that is how I do it. Using the MouseOver tool....

I've done this a hundred times before in older versions of VSD with no problem what so ever. Since I installed the latest version, none of the previous ones or newly added ones work. VSD is not carrying forward the second file it creates for the under image.

For example, in that image I posted above of the error message you can see the program knows it needs that specific image. But when you look in the folder that VSD saves all its files there is only a copy of the original image I created menu_home1 not mo_menu_home1. The second image, which is called menu_home2 is not in there, nor is there a VSD created mo_menu_home2.

The problem is with VSD, not the way I am creating the mouseovers.

well then I would try to either shorten the image name with no _ or try 2 different images as a test. Because miss Inger and I are having no problems with this. did you upgrade over the other version of VSD or did you do the unistall>restart>install upgrade? could that be the reason?
I didn't mean to ask the dumb question I knew you knew how was just making sure.
gif over gif won't work normally anyway, I tried jpg over gif, no go either.png's not excepted with VSD.... so I guess JPG's only

I didnt' add the MO_ to the IMG name, VSD has done in its code?

The images I've added are called 'menu_home1' but VSD calls for 'MO_menu_home1'.

I've tried it with different images, uninstalling, reinstalling, new designs. The lot. Everytime I get the missing img symbol in internet explorer.

Just out of interest, are you guys using the same version? I downloaded my update just this morning.

Updated:

Take a look at this example page I've created using the latest version of VSD. The rollover menu was created using the built in mouseover tool.

EXAMPLE

By looking at the source code, automatically created by VSD has renamed the img files but not re-created them in the files folder.

I just downloaded the newest VSD and was curious if the above is still an issue.

Thanks.

seems to me , and i may be wrong here but your using the same image for the mouseover.
<div class="Object178"><a href="index.html" onMouseOver='img_mo0.src="files/mo_menuhome1.gif"' onMouseOut='img_mo0.src="files/menuhome1.gif"'><img src="files/menuhome1.gif" name="img_mo0" width=140 height=25 border=0></a></div>


<div class="Object179"><a href="index.html" onMouseOver='img_mo1.src="files/mo_menuservices1.gif"' onMouseOut='img_mo1.src="files/menuservices1.gif"'><img src="files/menuservices1.gif" name="img_mo1" width=140 height=25 border=0></a></div>
and i'm pretty sure you can't use a gif over gif in VSD.
try renaming one menuservice2.gif and see if that works.
looking at the code all your menu uses the same image over.
just a thought.
