People are able to identify text links quickly, and it would really improve navigation if the alternative text links are supplied. </p> <p>If you want to try the mouseover, your best bet would be to split the image into several images so that you can make the alternative ("on") image for each active area. I have a more in-depth explanation of the mouseover at:<br /> <a href="http://www.pageresource.com/jscript/jhover.htm" class="bb-url">http://www.pageresource.com/jscript/jhover.htm</a><br /> It is a three part tutorial on the various types of mouseovers you can use.</p> <p>On another note, the neon welcome image above the peaceful fireplace seems to contradict the mood of the site. You might want a softer welcome image, or possibly leave it out, and give a text welcome message under the site logo.</p> <p>Just some ideas, just use the tips you agree with. <img src="http://www.what-next.com/ubb/ubbhtml/smile.gif" alt="" class="bb-image" /></p> <p>------------------<br /> John Pollock<br /> <a href="http://www.pageresource.com" class="bb-url">http://www.pageresource.com</a></p> Tue, 06 Apr 1999 01:20:00 +0000 John Pollock comment 1009731 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/html-css-and-javascript/need-help#comment-1009730 <p>Hi there,<br /> I will first answer the second question (which should be in my graphic forum really <img src="http://www.what-next.com/ubb/ubbhtml/smile.gif" alt="" class="bb-image" />) What I would do is scrap the fireplace altogether, but I will assume you do not want to do that <img src="http://www.what-next.com/ubb/ubbhtml/smile.gif" alt="" class="bb-image" />, so in this situation a mouseover seems a good idea.</p> <p>I'm not sure how much help you need with the mouseover so I will start with my advice on how to go about it, if you need more help just ask.<br /> - Expand the picture size.<br /> - Use a program like Picture Dicer to cut the fireplace into the right amount of parts/sections needed.<br /> - use the original picture until the mouseover and the have visible text on the next image.</p> <p>An other way would be to have the original fireplace intact with another image next to it switching as the mouse passes over.<br /> For more help just ask <img src="http://www.what-next.com/ubb/ubbhtml/smile.gif" alt="" class="bb-image" /></p> <p>Head over to:<br /> <a href="http://javascript.internet.com/scrolls/" class="bb-url">javascript.internet.com/scrolls/</a> for a Netscape complient scroll script.<br /> JP</p> <p>------------------<br /> The Webmaster Promotion and Resource Site<br /> <a href="http://www.what-next.com" class="bb-url">www.what-next.com</a><br /> The NEXT step in Designing and Promoting your Website</p> <p>[This message has been edited by JP Stones (edited April 05, 1999).]</p> Mon, 05 Apr 1999 22:04:00 +0000 JP Stones comment 1009730 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
