VSD: mousovers not working when...

I have a series of six buttons for navigation, and I want them to appear on the right side of every page. I created them on the home page, set up the mouseovers with images, and all works well. Then I made the next page. Not wanting to have to create all six mouseover effects again for every page, I told VSD to use a duplicate of the index page, then deleted everything from the new page except the buttons. Then I set up the link so the appropriate button from the index page linked to the new page.

In preview mode, and when I publish the pages, the mouseovers work on the index page but not on the copied page. I looked at the mouseover settings in VSD and it appears that when it copied the page it set both the original and the mouseover image for each button to be the same one. Is this a bug, or is there some trick to copying mouseover buttons to new pages?

The published pages are at:

The "Copyright" page is the second page created.

Have you tried selecting all your links from the homepage and copying them to your second page? instead of copying the page

I'm guessing you fixed this because the rollover is working fine for me on both pages.

Before you get too far, you should make sure your link images have alt text.

For what it's worth I opened up a trouble ticket on this. Workaround or not, the default behavior should have worked, and I see it as a bug.

Resolution: known issue, hopefully fixed in next release. There 'tis! :cool:
