Hello everyone.
i created a navigation bar in fireworks. i then used the State to create two diffrent version of it: STATE 1 has a white background and STATE 2 has a black background.
I then used the slice tool to cut up the diffrent sections of the navation bar. i then selected each of the individual buttons, right clicked my mouse, and added "a simple roll over affect .
it worked perfectly . i even tested it in a brower and it was perfect.
However, when i exported it to dreamweaver the rollover stopped working: exported as "images and html" and then used the INSERT = IMAGE OBJECTS = FIREWORKS HTML to insert it into a specific spot. i then uploaded everything to the server.
Is there anything that i missed out in this process. for example, is the page suppose to be made javascript ready.
i note that when i place the mouse over the images, the mouse changes into a hand shape, thus denoting that the brower is aware that there is suppose to be a link there.
any advice woud be really appriciated.
warm regards

Hello Linda
thank you so much for your reply. i am not 100 per cent sure how to go about doing what you recommded.
this is a sample of the code on the page;
<td><img src="images/pageimages/lowernavbar/rightnavbar/spacer.gif" alt="" name="undefined_2" width="3" height="1" border="0" /></td>
<td><img src="images/pageimages/lowernavbar/rightnavbar/spacer.gif" alt="" name="undefined_2" width="24" height="1" border="0" /></td>
as you can see, the SRC is for the root of the image. but the image has already been uploaded to the server, so this link works. the images actually shows on the page. Its just the roller over affect that does not work.
can you please give me a little more detail on what i should look for or what i should check
thank you so much.
warm regards

Hello Linda and to everyone else
Thank you so much for the time you have taken to look at this problem. i am actually at a complete loss as to how to solve it.
the link for the site is:
http://www.babysitter-agency.com/testpage.html
the navigation bar that i am referring to is the white bar ( with the letters A-Z) at the bottom right side of the page ( in the footer section). its situated just under the words : SEARCH JOBS BY LOCATION
you will note that if you place the mouse over this bar, the words Javascript comes up at the lowest left hand corner. i think this indicates that there is a fault somewhere .

If you download and install the Web Developer extension for firefox <http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer> You will be able to easily validate the page code. My suggestion? Do not use Fireworks code. Create your graphics in Fireworks, but assemble the pages in Dreamweaver.
Hi Linda

i am not a hundred percent sure how to assemble a naviation bar that uses javascript( and one that is made in fireworks). do you know any useful tuoritials or resources on this. once i am given an indication a brielf guilde on how to do it, i am sure taht i will be able to work it out.
