navigation bars

[Joel]

I am not sure what to call what I need but it is a navigation button that
instead of opening a second page, shows a few other links that are available.
The following site has a perfect example:
http://www.jungchicago.org/index.php
Am I even able to do that kind of navigation bar with Publisher or should I
use another program?

That's a dynamic menu. We use one on www.publishermvps.com that is a third
party one.
This site has a dynamic menu - http://www.componentart.com/home.aspx

These type of menus require some programming skill typically.

Publisher has no support for dynamic features as stated on the FAQ -

Based on a recommendation from another poster, I use Xara MenuMaker with
Publisher 2000 and have been happy with the results. You can download and
try the software free for 15 days:

David,

Would you mind sharing which third party program you use to create your
dynamic menu at publishermvp.com?

Secondly, on your FAQ page you offer the following script for changing the
color of the mouse-over using the insert HTML fragment feature:

<style>
a:hover {color: #ffffff; font-weight: bold;}
</style>

This is probably really simple, and I hate to show my ignorance, but given
that #ffffff results in what appears to be a white color, how do you specify
a different color such as a dark red (147,0,21 as per the RGB
specifications)? I don't understand the #ffffff part? Could you explain,
please? Thanks.

HTML code uses the hex value versus the RGB value.
I myself use the color picker dialog in FrontPage to obtain hex values from
color choices.
Your example is 93,00,15 in hex.
Meaning the value to use in the HTML is
#930015
You can probably google for color pickers on the internet, there should be
plenty of sites that convert RGB numbers to HTML hex values.

Thanks David. I was able to determine the HTML hex values using Pixie from
Nattyware. Its a free color picker that includes a mouse tracker. I think I
first heard about it from Mary Sauer. You simply point to a color and it
will tell you the hex, RGB, HTML, CMYK and HSV values of that color. Its a
HUGE download of 62kb.

HTML code uses the hex value versus the RGB value.
