Dreamweaver CS3 - Image on Image? - Overclock.net

Hello guys,

So im making my web template for my site. I have designed it in photoshop, and one part of it has a menu bar. For this menu bar I made buttons, but in DW, I cant get the buttons onto the menu bar as I cant seem to place an image on an image.

Any help?

Thanks

So sounds like you are trying to make an active button on top of a backround... What about just using the base image on the backround when making the button in DW?

Its not a button as such, its like a Black square that says 'Home' On it, and im trying to get that onto the menu bar so I can hyperlink it.

Html/PHP?? Either way you are going to have to make tables..

You mentioned making it the background..How Would I go about doing that?

You dont need to make tables if you dont want to.

Try something like this:

Code:

#menuBar{background:url(images/repeatingBGimage.jpg) repeat-x;}
a.button{background:url(images/buttonImage.jpg repeat x;}

then in html:

Code:

<div id="menuBar">
  <a class="button">LINK</a>
  <a class="button">ANOTHER LINK</a>
</div>

That should get you started... there is a lot of other ways you can go about this and things you can change like using ul-li's and defining height and width and such. Just let me know what you need and/or don't understand.

it's alot easier if u just use Fireworks to make the buttons and put them on top of the non working ones youre try to make

You said you designed it in photoshop...so why not cut it in photoshop too? It will be a lot easier that way and you won't have to mess around with the code.

you guys are crazy with your photoshop and cutting and tables... css is sooo much easier.
