Re: Disappearing Dynamic Menus (Here you see them, and here you don't)

George,

Start by removing the onMouseOut event handler:

onMouseOut= .......

As soon as the mouse pointer goes over the image, the onMouseOver event is
used to run the function that makes the hidden layer appear.

As soon as the mouse pointer leaves the image, the onMouseOut event is used
to run the function that hides the layer again.

So change, for example, this:

<a href="Om_rue/index.htm"
onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore();MM_showHideLayers('document.layers[\'Layerin
fobox\']','document.all[\'Layerinfobox\']','hide')"
onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('document.Image7','document.Image7','gifs/knap_v.g
if','#939037746199');MM_showHideLayers('document.layers[\'Layerinfobox\']','
document.all[\'Layerinfobox\']','show')"><img src="gifs/forside_om_rue.gif"
width="59" height="12" border="0" alt="Om R.U.E."></a>


to this:

<a href="Om_rue/index.htm"
onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('document.Image7','document.Image7','gifs/knap_v.g
if','#939037746199');MM_showHideLayers('document.layers[\'Layerinfobox\']','
document.all[\'Layerinfobox\']','show')"><img src="gifs/forside_om_rue.gif"
width="59" height="12" border="0" alt="Om R.U.E."></a>


This will allow the layer to remain visible and then you can use the
contents of that layer as menu links.

Now, however, you will run up against another problem: How to make the layer
disappear when you want to make another one visible.

But that's another question.
