highlight links in navbar (in frame pages)

[mumu]

Hi folks
This problem has been getting me all day.
On a 3-frame web page, with one frame dedicated to navigation buttons, is it possible to mark those nav buttons as read links when a user has been over them.

I thought about using cookies, but they are not an option.

cheers in advance,
mumu

Hi there,

Are you wanting this to be a permanent type thing, or only for the time they are at your site, or per the browser session?

If it is only for the time until they leave your site then cookies would not be required, but for the other two cases you will most likely have to use cookies unless you have a database (or flatfile) and require them to login.

On a standard mouseover the button will change when a user moves the mouse over the button yet will change back to original button when the mouse leaves the button. Well, just take out the onMouseOut of your link and the button will stay the mouse overed image. Does that make sense?

Otherwise if the user can leave your site then come back and you wish to detect them then you will have to use one of the alternative methods listed above (cookies & database/flatfile)

Hope this helps...

This will only work for javascript mouseover techniques and not the effect you get by using Style Sheets (or not to my knowledge anyway)
