Creating remote rollovers
While self rollovers change trigger images, remote rollovers change images located elsewhere on the page. Because these changes occur elsewhere, trigger objects for remote rollovers can include paragraphs, table cells, or any other HTML element. Only trigger images, however, can combine remote rollovers with self rollovers.
To create a remote rollover: - In the Layout Editor, select the trigger object.
- In the Rollovers & Actions palette, click the Rollovers tab.
- Select the state that will trigger the rollover, and then click the New Rollover Image button
. - In the Name/ID text box, specify the remote image object.
Note: Use the pick whip to specify an object that lacks a name or ID. If you type a name or ID that doesn't exist, GoLive displays a bug in the Kind column of the Rollovers & Actions palette. - In the URL text box, specify the image file for the remote image object.
- To force browsers to fully download the image before enabling the rollover, click Preload.
To trigger multiple remote rollovers from an object, add more than one rollover image to a state.
