Hi Nicola,

Hope you enjoyed your Dreamweaver 8 Intro course yesterday.

First you need to create the graphics in a graphic application such as Fireworks, Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro.

You should create/save the 'static' button, then make your change for the 'hover' effect and save a different graphic. It's a good idea to have the state of the image in the filename, and also what text is included in the graphic. eg. products-static.jpg and products-hover.jpg

You can now insert the graphics using Insert -> Interactive Image -> Rollover Image. Follow the dialogue box instructions, browsing to your newly created images at the appropriate places.

I hope this answers your question. If it does, please mark this question as resolved.

Regards, Rich

Dreamweaver tip:

Xhtml vs html

When using dreamwear template or just creating a blank webpage, you are able to select the markup language you want to use. The main choices are either xhtml or html. It is now best to select xhtml as this will translate all the html into xml, so it is transmitted across the web in xml format. One of the main advantages of this is that it makes the site that you build much more compatible with the range of different web browsers that exist.
