Hi,
Im brand new to css and I building a small site to teach my self.
I have 2 problems hindering my progress and I think they may be related.
First off is my problem with rollover buttons for navigation. (might belong in the javascript forum)
I have four images that I am using as button. These buttons are contained in a div tag inside of a header div.
If I rollover a button, instead of seeing its over state the buttons flicker, disappear and swap positions!!! I'm very new to this and am bewildered.
//*********** javascript in head*******//
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
<head>
image1 = new Image();
image1.src = "BUTTONS/home_over.png";
image2 = new Image();
image2.src = "BUTTONS/services_over.png";
image3 = new Image();
image3.src = "BUTTONS/portfolio_over.png";
image4 = new Image();
image4.src = "BUTTONS/contact_over.png";
// End -->
</script>
</head>
********** the div tag html*****************
<div id="top">
<div id="logo"> </div>
<div id="nav">
<a href="index.html" onmouseover="image1.src='images/BUTTONS/home_over.png';"
onmouseout="image1.src='BUTTONS/home.png';">
<img name="image1" src="BUTTONS/home.png" border=0></a>
<a href="services.html" onmouseover="image2.src='images/BUTTONS/services_over.png';"
onmouseout="image2.src='BUTTONS/services.png';">
<img name="image2" src="BUTTONS/services.png" border=0></a>
<a href="portfolio.html" onmouseover="image3.src='images/BUTTONS/portfolio_over.png';"
onmouseout="image3.src='BUTTONS/portfolio.png';">
<img name="image3" src="BUTTONS/portfolio.png" border=0></a>
<a href="contact.html" onmouseover="image4.src='images/BUTTONS/contact_over.png';"
onmouseout="image4.src='BUTTONS/contact.png';">
<img name="image4" src="BUTTONS/contact.png" border=0></a></div>
</div>
********** the css class*************
#nav{
position:relative;
left:500px;
width:380;
heigth:58;
}
**********************************
The java script was generated free online so I expected it to "just work".
Because it doesn't I started thinking it had something to do with the div that the images were in. Maybe each image needs a different div??
My main concern about these navigation buttons in the header is fluidity. I have a floating content box on the right hand side of the screen. I really want the site to shrink together when a screen is minimized. This works fine for the content box but Im not sure how or if its possible to achieve with these buttons i'm using.
The code I posted probably looks horrific, but I only really started a couple of days ago.
Any advice or tips are really really welcome.
P.s.... I attached a zip file containing my files. Its just a single html page and a css file and a few images. (please dont laugh if you look at it!!!)
Thanks
