Problems between V15 and V16

Good morning, since updating to V16 from V15 I have a rollover problem when rolling over images. In V15 when you moved mouse over an image it expanded the image over the smaller image which worked fine. In V16 the expanded image is displayed in the size of the original image so you only see a portion of the expanded image. It's as if the bigger rollover image is taking the size of the smaller image.
To get around this problem I have updated the page without using the rollover option but you can see the problem below:

I also have a separate problem again the display shows different info between V15 and V16. This one is a shadow colour problem which should be / is gray in colour but in V16 it's a pink type colour. I've not updated this page with your program as I want to keep the background shade gray but you will see problem samples below:.

Any thoughts on this one?

To be able to help you, I need a DEMO project so I can see all your settings.
If something works different than in a previous version then I also need a project for that older versions so I can see the difference.
Note that in most cases. different behavior is caused by a different configuration. So, make sure all your settings are the same.
Also make sure that you have the latest update. There are no known issues in the latest version.

Hi Pablo and thanks for the quick reply. I could place the folder containing the website into a dropbox folder and share this with you so that you have the complete website available to looking at the problem.
Basically if I open the project in V15 and do a preview all works as expected, but if I open the same project in V16 and again do a preview it displays the problems.
Are you happy for me to share the dropbox folder with you and if so what email address should I use to do the share with?

Did you publish all files? And do your image names conform to WWB requirements?

Hi Pablo,
The specfabs.wbs file is now on the website as well as the folder containing the various images etc for the .wbs file
I have removed the ftp information, so that no one can modify and upload files on that website.
The live website is
http://specfabs.co.uk/index.html so you can see how the site looks from a previous saved / update using V15
but the links to the wbs file is
http://specfabs.co.uk/problems/specfabs.wbs
do you also need the data folder / images etc?
I have removed all the non related pages, so you only have the index page which works plus the two problem pages, certificates (with the rollover image problem) and client list with the pink shadow problem. Both pages show the problems in V16.1.0
Let me know if you need any other info or the content of the data folder to display the pictures etc.

The zoom behavior is different because WB16 now uses CSS instead of JavaScript. To make the page smaller and load faster for better SEO.
The rollover image was never designed to use different image sizes so that is why this scenario was not taken into account when this feature was designed.
Unfortunately there is no way to get to old behavior other than to go back to JavaScript, but I think many users will not appreciate because it will add extra weight to the page.
About the shadow on the shapes:
You will need to enabled 'anti-alias' in the shape's properties, otherwise the number of colors is too limited for the output format.
This works the same as in WB15.

Thanks Pablo for your comments and feedback I was not sure if there was a problem with V16, but I understand what you are saying about the JavaScript.
I guess I was being creative with the image Zoom facility in V15 which has now caused me a problem. That said, I have now removed the zoom facility and just displayed the certificates using once size for each certificate with no rollover feature, so this one has a work around
I've just checked and the output format which is set to 'anti-alias' in the shape's properties as well as General format: publish as image.
Just an update to the shadow problem, If I change the shadow type from solid to 3d effect, the problem goes away. The shadow is still there but the colour of the shadow is correct.

Do you mean that it still does not work?
Did you republish all files?

correct it still did not work
But I have fixed the problem with the shadow issue, If I change the shadow type from solid to 3d effect, the problem goes away. The shadow is still there but the colour of the shadow is correct. As a workaround I can use this option to fix the other shadow problems on the website
I'll rework the website with the workaround to address the problems. I will also remove the various files in the problems folder later today.
