"Buttons"

now all you web designers may think this is a really silly question, but it's genuine, you'll have to take my word for that.
anyway, how do you make buttons works? for my previous websites i've only use links, they seem to have been fine until now, i'm using more HTML stuff. With the buttons so far, i've just put a kink behine it so when the buttons clicked it will go to the link, that's a pretty raw way of doing it, but I think it works (I havn't tried it yet) anyway, i'll be grateful for any help :)

Ok, all the buttons are finished, the codes set up and in place, but where do I put the buttons? i'm gueesing I put the first one where I want it to be, but what happenes to the second one? does it go underneath, sadly I can't test this out, as I don't know how to :( i'll be grateful for anyones help, thankyou.

I was begining to wonder about that, thankyou once again :)

No problem.

Just to let you know, in the code that goes between the and tags, you can have multiple rollovers by just adding the neccessary code. For example :-

When you have the

image_out = new Image(468,60); image_out.src = 'image_out.gif';
image_over = new Image(468,60); image_over.src = 'image_over.gif';

You can add as many rollovers as you want, just by making a big list of them. Like this

image_out = new Image(468,60); image_out.src = 'image_out.gif';
image_over = new Image(468,60); image_over.src = 'image_over.gif';
imagetwo_out = new Image(468,60); imagetwo_out.src = 'imagetwo_out.gif';
imagetwo_over = new Image(468,60); imagetwo_over.src = 'imagetwo_over.gif';
imagethree_out = new Image(468,60); imagethree_out.src = 'imagethree_out.gif';
imagethree_over = new Image(468,60); imagethree_over.src = 'imagethree_over.gif';

Hope this makes sense. Oh yeah, before I forget, don't use actual numbers (1234567890) in your images when using this script because it goes all funny and the script doesn't work, just letting you know.

Thanks for your help, I just found out that fireworks does some basic form of this, but i'll use your javascript as it's a lot easier, thankyou.

No problem, if you have any problems with it, just ask.

Whoa! that seems a lot easier than i'd originally thought, i'll try it out, thankyou so much for your help :D

I don't use dreamweaver for rollovers, I just use javascript. Here is the code :-

Put this in between your and tag



And then put this where you want your image to be in your website




This might seem a little confusing just looking at it so I'll tell you what some of it means and how to use it.

First of all, just copy the bit that goes in between the and the straight into your code. Then, you have to create two images, one that the user will see when the page loads, the "_out" image and then one that they will see when they move the mouse over, the "_over" image.

After you have done this, you will have to change all of the sizes in the code to the size of your buttons.

When you have done this, you just have to change the information in the tag to what you where you want your button to go to when clicked, and the name you want to show up when the user rollsover your button.

I hope this helps and just ask me if you have any problems with it.

sounds cool, i'm not sure if my web designer will accept javascript, i'm not sure about much, but if it's no hassle, i'd be most grateful for the code.
yeah sorry are for links (I knew that) but I have no idea how to make these rollovers, I guess on Dreamweaver they're made for you? or a bit easier?

Not that I know of, I think the tag is just for linking. I could get the script that would make the rollover effect that you want, just to see if it looks alright, if you want...

I don't like javascript, can't I make a small 2 frame .gif and control it with an or another type of link?
