There are thousands of neat looking header image tutorials ect online and i'm ok with photoshop and do have dreamweaver.
My problem is most of these tutorials make multiple images as buttons, how are they makeing each different button a link if it's just one image ?
Here is an example of a tutorial for a nav bar that id like to make

You'll see it's made as an image, how on earth do i make it as they have shown and make each link a seperate link ?.
Your help would be greatly appreciated
Please use laymans
Kind regards Debs x

They're using CSS backgrounds. Best way to see how a site is doing something is with Firefox and Firebug (it's also a great way to debug your own sites). Just open it up, enable Firebug, then click inspect and mouse-over one of those menu items. It'll show you the CSS they used to get that effect. Smiling

Are you familiar with CSS at all?

Thank you Jeeves..
I have used basic css for fonts and rollover text links but never to construct an image like the one shown in the tutorial i posted.
The whole thing is made in photoshop so i have to confess to still being not much the wiser.
Thank you for replying
