How the flamin' 'eck do you do simple buttons?
Discussion
On dreamweaver..?
Am trying to build a webpage which is very amateur as i have only been doing it a for two weeks . Anyway i was using underlined-word links but thought about sprucing it up with just simple buttons to move between pages - in place of the link words.
I can import a button but i can't make it *do* anything. Whilst i can keep using the links, i want to smarten the page up and the updates i have done (that you can't see on the page as yet) would look even better with their inclusion IMO.
What am i doing wrong..?
PS - speak as if talking to an idiot, i struggle with this compooter stuff!

Why dont you use the Flash ones in the Task bar, quite easy. When FTP/uploading the site pages make sure you upload the button too, just like pics etc.
Cant see where your going wrong though if you have imported a button and has link to next page ?previous page it should still work??
Prehaps you could elaberate.
Or if your after a few Buttons like a Navbar go here www.flashbuttons.com/ Just save it to each page.

For a word just drag across it as if copying then right click you should then get a drop down, find the 'make link' and click a page opens and you can make a link. But you have to make sure it points to a link on the web not on your computers drive.
with pictures or buttons you just have to right click on them to show a link option.
I'm pretty sure thats how I done it(still learning myself)

Ta - but...
I can make the link, i.e. have the word underlined. What i am trying to make is a site nav button for example. Say i had a page dedicated to exhaust. Instead of having just an underlined word, i would have a 'proper' rectangular button etc... I treid importing from teh library on DW, a button but could not seem to get it linked to anything - i wondered if i was doing something a bit squiffy....
Soz if didn't make myself clear, or am missing the big pciture..

Have got the buttons into dreamweaver got it to link but what do I do to make it go BACK. I can link to an exact page etc but BACK could be anywhere.
Do you have such a thing as a Navigation Bar you can insert? If so that will do Back and Next for you. But then, everyone has a Back button on their browser anyway, so maybe it's not important?

Or you could try
which will take you back to the last page viewed.
without the spaces
< a href = "javascript:history.go(-1)" > Back < /a >

Gets easier with every reply
Now if some one would write the bloody site
Know the feeling... whilst i cannot upload, i thought i would take the time to re-write some sections and expand somewhat.
Have got intot eh heady heights of framed pages..... kinda wishing i hadn't bothered. Need to do some housekeeping in my local site, and can't work out whether it works, cos can't upload at moment! Arrgh!
Is it supposed to be this tricky?
