I ready to give up on Antenna altogether, I can't get simple things to work. I was having trouble with mouse hover, click, and out, on my old site so I decided to start a new site thinking it just might be the old site having so many things in it.
So today I started a new site with some of the graphics from the old site. I got the page setup, and started the menu bar. tried the Quick Button function. Set the shape, size, color, and added the text. applied the text, than tried to save it, but it wouldn't save. Tried 4 times, it just would not save it! Am I missing something here?
I know there is hardly anyone on here anymore, so I hope I get an reply.
Michael

Hi Michael, Don't give up yet! Send a message to Julian and ask him to dive in. Send a message via this board (click on the "Message" link in the top toolbar of this board - his User Name is just the letter J) or go to the Stormdance website www.stormdance.net/contact.htmThis board is a user to user forum and it's pretty quiet in the past months, but the "guru's" Frank and Graham check in every couple of days. So does Julian. It is because it is so quiet that we don't check in every day anymore. Hope this helps, Loes |

Hi Michael,
If you make a button in gradient lab you need to save it as a library to use it again. Personally I would build the button strictly in quick button and use the gradient lab to build the background. The gradient lab text isn't as clean as the quick button text. personally I use the Quick button and build the backgrounds in a 3rd party image editing software.. more control.
Hope that helps,
Frank

Quick Button is probably the way to go but it does not have a save feature (why I don't know). You need to copy the button and change the caption. It's makes a cleaner button in my view. The think the Quick Button was expected to replace the gradient lab at some point... they don't really play well together... I really don't use the gradient lab at all so really never tried meshing them.
Hope this helps,
Frank

My old site worked great, but sense I upgraded to v7 I just can't get any of my buttons to work right. I was hoping to use my old site, because I really like the setup on it. v7 converted it, but now my menu just isn't working right. Michael |

Hi Frank.
I'm still trying to get my menu working, I dumped the old site, and am trying to re-create it, using some of the old graphic. I can add the menu bar, header image and site name no problem, but when I copy a button from the old site, then copy that button for the other buttons. That seams to work OK. but when I try to set the mouse UP. Hover, Click, it will change the setting on the other menu buttons too. Its just doing very weird thing. the problem with quick button is I'm trying to get the buttons to match my menu bar, so I have a image file of the button I want to use, it matched the menu bar.
