Bookmarking not working

Yes, again do-able but not directly straight-forward. I covered mine with a transparent gif. when they moused over it, it set _exit_OK = yes AND hid itself. Now the problem is that if they don't select anything, the variable is set to yes if they close. So, let's close that gap.I put another transparent gif (actually used the same image but stretched it) BEHIND the menu and made it as about 20px wider than the entire area of the dropdown list could be. It had a On Mouse Exit action that set the variable to no after about a .3 sec delay. I think the delay was to cover when they clicked on something. As I recall, if you let it fire immediately, it got set before it transfered to clicked location. The gif was initially not visible. It also had an action to hide itself and show the front gif. Went back and added an action to the front gif to show the back one.So best I can remember it would look something like this in the left pain (pun intended):Behind.gif 20 px bigger than dropdown menu fully expanded On Mouse Exit; _exit_OK = no after .3 sec On mouse Exit; Show Front.gif On mouse Exit; hide selfDropDown MenuFront.gif over the collapsed menu On Mouse Enter; _exit_OK = yes on mouse enter; hide self on mouse enter; show Behind.gif (could be omitted if Behind.gif does not cover anything critical)That is the gist of it. You may find you need something else. Can't remember right now.
