RE: Animated buttons

Cathy,

There are a number of ways to create an animated button. David suggests using an application that can create animated GIF images, such as Paint Shop Pro.

Other ways are:
- using CSS for basic animation (eg. hover)
- using Javascript to swap the image on a mouse action (eg. hover or click)
- using Adobe Flash application to add shockwave buttons to your page (Dreamweaver MX and above has a built in flash button generator)

Regards, Rich

Dreamweaver tip:

JumpMenu in new window

When inserting a jumpmenu to a page, the only option available for 'open in' is usually 'main window'. There would be other options available if the page was a frameset.

To change the jumpmenu to open in a new window, change the target parameter of the selectbox in your code to 'window.open()'.

eg.

<select name="menu1" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('window.open()',this,0)">
