Hi was just wondering if any1 could help me if you go here www.bluegeeks.co.uk/menu/beta/index.html when you hover over the menu images they all have different colours, and if you wanna know how i did this i used One image for the hover effect etc. and i have been trying to do an "Active State" css for it so when you click the portfolio it will keep that hover state which is "YELLOW" and the same for the rest "Services" "Contact" "Home" Hope some1 can help on this i been trying with no luck as of yet

Regards,
Aaron

It's more of a "current state" since "active" is an actual CSS property, many people get them confused.

The ACTIVE property is set when you click on the link.

What you want (I think), is when you get to that portfolio page, your "hover" color stays right? If that's right, just create a class with that color.

Hi Karinne,

Yes that is right i will try this and get back to you

One thing, how can i do is so like each current state has a different color or image?

Your hovers have different colors right? So..

Thankyou karinne so can i change the color to background:url(image/example.jpg); etc

Of course

if you go here www.bluegeeks.co.uk/menu/beta/index.html the Image which is showing is the whole menu

has this css #header ul {
display:block;
float:right;
width:640px;
height:125px;
background:url(img/menu1.png) no-repeat 0 0;
list-style:none;
}

and what i did was split up the hover images into 4 images so home.png / portfolio.png / services.png / contact.png and then i put the positons as below because thats what the code was on the old code i used but dont seems to be working

a.home:hover, a.homecurrent { background:url(img/home.png) no-repeat 0 -125px; }
a.portfolio:hover, a.portfoliocurrent { background:url(img/portfolio.png) no-repeat -160px -125px; }
a.services:hover, a.servicescurrent { background:url(img/services.png) no-repeat -309px -125px; }
a.contact:hover, a.contactcurrent { background:url(img/contact.png) no-repeat -309px -125px; }

UPDATING page now as i forgot to upload it so you can see what i mean

EDIT: Page uploaded

I don't see that last bit of code



And you HTML if you're on the portfolio page would be

Ok so the CSS should look like



and the html should be like this

index page:



portfolio page:



Services Page



Contact Page



is that how it should be
