menu rollover

Hey

I'm having a problem with my menu rollovers. Even when I turn all the stylesheets off I still get a blue rollover, does anyone have any idea how to turn it off?

I've changed it in layersmenu-cms.css by doing

a:hover {
  background-color:#000000 !important;
}

but I don't want it to change at all. Any ideas?

Thanks

The problem might be that the layersmenu-cms.css gets overriden by the values in your template. I had all sorts of troubles with my css untill I removed it completely from the template and placed it in a .css-file, this is probably to drastic in most cases. But look at the bottom of the css-part of the template, I believe you'll find a a:hover, a-over {.... somewhere down there, this is the last one loaded so it takes precedense.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for that. But this is the thing I can't work out. I've removed absolutely all the stylesheets and it is still doing it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe you would have better luck using {bulletmenu} and styleing it up yourself instead of using phplayers.  It's kind of a nasty table hack...

I've managed to get it to do exactly what I want, except I can't turn this rollover off. Even after stripping all the css. It's very odd.

What's bullet menu? (soz, am a bit new to cms)

weird. It's working now. Must have been a strange browser thingy.

thanks for all  your help :)

Sorry, another question... in phplayers in IE if you have a sub menu the js seems to throw the width of the parent menu item out a massive amount. Any ideas how to change it?

Also, I have looked at bulletmenu and it isn't quite what I need. I like the menu pop up of phplayers but I don't like the JS. There is a really easy way of doing that kind of menu in CSS. Is there a plugin menu like that? I could easily build a mock up but being a CMS n00b I don't think I could integrate it with the rest of the site.

Search for the simplemenu plugin on the forum.  I believe some people have CSS'd it up to work the way your thinking.

the only simplemenu I can find only deals with one level.

Is there any way of controlling the width of the menu items using phplayers? The js seems to make any item with children reeaaaally wide in IE.
