Links disappear in active state

Hey there,
for my navigation bar I have created several text boxes.
I use three different colors for the states "Normal", "Rollover" and "Active".
However, when I visit page 2 for instance, the menu bar on top doesn't display "page 2" in my active color. The link seems to be invisible.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks!
-Markus

Hey Aish,
thanks for taking time!
I was now able to upload the site, you can visit it at kundenservice.n90media.de/n90media/ .
In order to see the second menu, you have to scroll down a little until it appears.
As to now, the issue seems connected to the Motion Scroll Effect, which is applied to the menu.
Best,
Markus

How can I get a menu link to show active state in Spry?

I want to have my Spry menu bar show the page I am on as a highlighted with background-color and text-color being highlighted and different than the rest of the menu bar. It seems that there are two ways that people talk about doing this.
One is to modify the a:hover and a:focus styles in the Spry assets. If this is the answer, I am missing something. After much experimentation, I actually created a style for a:hover (which is rollover only) and a:focus (which is when you click on the bar). It has no bearing on the state of the menu when it is showing the page as the page the user is on. If someone can give me a clue whether the CSS in Spry assets is the way to go, please provide specific code that would go in a specific place. Generalities are not helping me go to a specific solution.
The other way to go seems to give the body an ID on each page. There is a thread here: <http://www.highdots.com/forums/macromedia-dreamweaver/using-css-highlight-current-page-227 823.html>
It says:
"Example:
<body id="home">
This is because the CSS is:
#home #menu .home a
background-color:#ED2424;
color: #E7E63E;
That means color the <a> tag with the class home, inside the #menu container,
inside the #home container which is the body.
Without giving the body an ID, there is no "home" container so the CSS doesn't
apply to anything."
If this is correct, where do each of these snippets of code actually go? Does this apply to Spry? I would assume that the body id is in Source Code, and the others are in CSS. But where?
There is also another solution posted elsewhere: <http://css-tricks.com/id-your-body-for-greater-css-control-and-specificity/>
What specific advice can you provide to get a web site to do something that is pretty basic from the perspective of the user?

So that you do not have to repeat the style rules in every document, add the rules to the existing SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css. The class is added to the menu item that has the current document, in our case above it will be index.html or similar. The class will be placed on menu items that correspond to the current page.

Spry Slideshow with Filmstrip - Thumbnail 'Active' State

Does anyone know if it's possible to make an "active" state for the thumbnails so that the thumbnail for the slide that is chosen remains in its 'hover' state?
And further, if it's possible to specify diferent images for link, hover and active states?
Thanks in advance to anyone able to help.

Active state not working in scrolling site (with anchor links)

I'm design a scrolling site with anchor links and an horizontal menu on the top.
when i publish the site and click on the menu buttons the site scrolling to the place of the anchor but the active state in the menu is not working.
now... when i leave the main page (were the scrolling site is) and then return back to it all active states are working perfectly
anyone have this bug? or any one know how to fix it ?

Hmmm...I've just been playing around, and I think I got the Active State to work correctly. I think my problem was not understand what Active State means.
To answer your question, I was changing the Font Color and Box Fill Color of the Active State.
I did not understand that Active State means the look of the Menu Item when the PAGE is active. I thought it meant the look of the Menu item when the cursor is scrolling down the Menu (i.e. when the MENU is Active, not the page).
Look at this page for an example of what I'm trying to achieve...
http://www.pgavdestinations.com
When you hover over the "Work" menu item, and move the cursor down the menu, the state of "Work" remains changed until you move the cursor off of that menu column. It does NOT return back to it's Normal state until you are off of that menu column.
Is there a way to achieve this with the menu states in Muse?
Thanks for the replies!

Active States Not Working on Anchor Links?

Since updating to the newest version of Muse today, it seems that my parallax site's navigation button aren't displaying the "active" state once you scroll to an anchored position. This was working earlier today, it seems to be an issue with the newest version of Muse (v7.2, Build 230). Anyone else having this issue?
Here's a link to the site. http://www.hillcreative.net

I think this bug is back. I am using the latest Muse build.
When I go to add a menu (manual) from the widget menu, I can add in the names of the buttons without issue.
If I want to link out to other sites, no issue.
However, if I add anchor links, things fall apart.
It seems the first few links work without issue and with a fixed menu at the top, the page scrolls nicely to the area. However, I am noticing that the 4th and 5th button in a manual menu do not respond to active states and even the scrolling page navigation is wonky. The "team" and "contact" buttons never highlight, even when selected, nor do they navigate properly to the corresponidng anchor link.
I have moved the anchor links deeper down the page to see if this makes a difference and it doesn't. It is as if the menu can't pick up the anchor points.
I addition, when viewed on iOS devices (although not optimized) I get 2 active states selected in the menu.
I think the script for this widget needs revisiting. Please advise.
Here is a link to my temporary example:
http://jbrubaker.fatcow.com/warwick/index.html
The active state only shows up for the first 3 buttons...weird.
(Windows 7 / All latest browers)
Thanks!

Photoshop Button in Active State Returns to Normal After Rollover?

Hello,
I'm working on a glossary reference website in Muse, and have hit a roadblock with my photoshop buttons.
I have created menu buttons in Photoshop that have two different states - one for active and rollover, and another for normal and down (the button is actually saved with four different layers/states, one for each, but for what the user will see, it's really only two options). I've used these menu buttons as rollover triggers for blank compositions, and when the user rolls over the button, the name of the page appears below it, and then disappears on rollout (otherwise the names would overlap and it would look very cluttered).
The issue that I have found is that, when I preview the page in my browser, the buttons appear to function properly in that they show up in the active state indicating that the page that they are linked to is the one that they are on.
Initial View - Home Page:
...and when I rollover the image of the page that I am currently on, the button shows the name of the page as desired, like so:
However, when I rollout, the button reverts back to the normal/down state, even though I am still on the home page.
Below is a screenshot of the composition settings that I have set up for this widget. I tried switching the "Hide Target" to none, but since the target is referring to the word "Home", the word "Home" remained visible in addition to the button remaining in the active state, which is not what I want. I also tried selecting "Triggers on Top", but the issue was not solved here either.
What am I missing? How can I make sure that my button remains in the active state when on the page that it is linked to?
Thanks for your help!
Rachel

Sounds like a bug that's the fallout of the overloaded meaning of "Active" state. "Active" is both the state used for an item with a hyperlink applied that points to the current page (or an anchor point in the current scroll range on the current page) and the state used for a trigger or thumbnail in a Composition or Slideshow widget that corresponds to the a current active item in the composition or slideshow.
It appears we honor the hyperlink definition of "Active" on page load for a composition trigger with a hyperlink to the current page applied, but don't honor that definition of active when transition to having no items in the composition active (or presumable when transition to having a different item in the composition active).
The only workaround that comes to mind would be the very tedious approach of replicating this composition widget on each page, removing the hyperlink on the "active" trigger and manually formatting it's "Normal" state to appear active.
I've written up the bug. However, it may not get fixed immediately. (We tend to collect smaller fixes in an area and then address them all at once or when other changes are planned in that area, due to the overhead involved in ramping up to work on an area and thoroughly retest it after changes.)

Retain activated state on a 'subtitles on' button

I have a main menu with 10 buttons to link to videos. On the same menu I have two buttons for 'subtitles on' and 'subtitles off'
Is it possible to retain the activated state of these buttons so that the viewer knows which button has been selected thus telling them whether subtitles are 'on' or 'off'
At the moment I seem to have to click twice at the buttons to get the 'activated' state which then disappears back to norman state if I roll over the other buttons on the menu.
Thanks in anticipation

Yes, this gets very complicated. I agree it would be nice, but the feature is just not there.
The better method is to have a single menu for the project that handles subtitles. The user can go there to see what the status is. Since it does not change until they change it, they usually don't need to be reminded on every menu.

A top level menu item should display its active state if any of its submenu items are active

Example case: I'm designing a Muse site which is basically a portfolio of our work. We design books, doing page layout and covers. We have numerous book categories and sub categories which I put in a horizontal menu. When a given top level category menu item doesn't have a submenu, it is a hyperlink and it displays active state when the browser displays its linked page. But when a given page is displayed from a submenu link, its top level menu item does NOT display active state. I think it should.
For example, we have a "Nostalgia" category which has "Film" and "TV" subcategories. Because the menu item, "Nostalgia" has a submenu containing "Film" and "TV", the label "Nostalgia" is not a hyperlink. The submenu attached to it has the two hyperlinked items "Film" and "TV". When the browser is displaying either linked page, the submenu is hidden. So it would be nice if the top level item, "Nostalgia" would display in an active state.

Most of the triggers in my composition are not showing there active state

I have a composition with 18 triggers.
Each trigger has a b/w image that should turn to a colour image when active or rolled over but only the two on the 3rd row work correctly.
The others do change when rolled over but when I roll off, even when still active they go back to their normal state.
Also when the composition plays through only the same two triggers will show the correct active state whilst active.
http://boastassociates08.businesscatalyst.com/projects.html
this happens in all methods of preview.
i have checked and all triggers have the correct images on each state.
Thanks

I figured it out. all trigger also have a link to another page on the site, all but two anyway.
so the triggers states are reacting as if it is just a link rather than it being a trigger in a composition.
does somebody know a way that will allow me to have the triggers states react the way i want and for the triggers to act as a link?

How to create active state or current state in spry menu ?

i have build a vertical menu with spry menu widget, Just
wondering if any one can guide me how to create an active state or
current state in the menu.
I want the visitor to understand which page they are on, so
just want to change the colour of the active link.

<helpful but self-serving too>
There are several ways to do this, but the easiest way, if I
may say so,
is to use my divaGPS Extension. It works with virtually any
menu type
and is designed to accomplish precisely what you are asking

and easily.

Menu item moves in active state

I'm using the "Right Icon" to implement a long vertical seperator between menu items:
laurensilverceramics.businesscatalyst.com
I've deleted the Rollover, Mouse-Down and Active states of the menu items. But when a menu item becomes active - it move put by 20 pixels or so. Any idea on how I can fix this?

Hi Ryan,
From looking at the navigation on the site and the corresponding code, it seems you are using a Composition Widget rather than a Menu Widget. The code generated for the Industries link is different than the others as if in its case, the link was applied to chunks of text/content inside the trigger rather than the trigger itself. Recreating that particular item in the composition and applying link just like others should apparently fix this. I would appreciate if you could send your current .muse file to [email protected] along with a reference to this forum thread and mark it to my attention in the Subject? If the file is larger than 20MB, please use an online file sharing service such as WeTransfer or YouSendIt.

Issue with active state on navigation of vertical slide website. Please help!

Hey guys!
I'm using the Adtile vertical-slide example at http://www.adtile.me/fixed-nav/ and am having some issues with the navigation...
When I add nav buttons for external pages, the navigation active state doesn't follow through the menu to the active slide (it does on the external pages as I'm using a separate css selector PHP script though). Without the additional buttons for the external pages they work fine.
Here's the link to the working example WITHOUT the additional buttons for external pages.
Here's the link for the page WITH the additional buttons for external pages.
Does anyone know how I can get the active state to work for the slides section of the website?
Thank you!

Try this:
.nav-collapse a:hover,
.nav-collapse a:active,
.nav-collapse a:focus {

Rollover state not working on active state

Hi, I have a problem with menu states. When a menu item is in its active state the rollover state isn't working. Is this supposed to happen or is there a solution to this?
Thanks.

Hello,
This is working as designed. Active state suppresses changing to any other state on mouse interaction and other states only work on links that are currently in Normal state.

Why is the tab being edited at the "master" page always in active state when i am selecting other tabs?

i am trying to create a basic mobile site with adobe muse. i have created a page with tabbed panels using the the tabbed panel widget and link each tab to its respective pages. let's call my tabs 1, 2 and 3. the linking are fine, but everytime i selected 2 or 3, tab 1 will also be in active state. the selected tab is with reference to the tab that is being edited at the "master" page, i.e, if i am editing tab 2 at the "master" page, tab 2 will always be active when i select tab 1 or 3.
i do not need this kind of confusion. can anyone help?
i am using adobe cc. thanks!

Hi,
This is an expected behavior of tabbed panel . When you add a tabbed panel in the master page by default one of the tabs is Active. So whenever you load the page, whichever tab you had selected in the Master page will always be active along with the other tab which you used as a link.
I would suggest you to use a Menu widget or a composition widget in order to avoid this.

Prepared/Active state for a Resource adatper.

Hi All,
I am deploying a resource adapter and as soon as the adapter is deployed, though the weblogic page shows it to be in "Prepared" state but it gets started.
If I click on the "Start" button and the weblogic page shows it to be in "Active" state.
What does "Prepared" and "Active" state for a resource adapter signify?
And after this I am unable to stop the resource adatper. Clicking on the "Stop" button makes the status back to to "Prepared" but I can see the adapter still connected to the EIS.
So how to stop a resource adapter?
