Creating navigation button

[Pilgrim]

How do I create a couple of navigation button I need to finish my site.
I tried asking Actinic tech-support, and they have only refer me to the article 560 which I had already been trying to use without any success.
Can someone please give me a better discription/method of how to create these button?

Thank,Pilgrim

Alan,

Welcome to the community!

The knowledge Base article you mention describes the process quire nicely...

To insert your own custom navigation buttons, with image rollovers, you can recycle the code from any of the existing navigation image layouts.

1. Go to 'Design | Library | Layouts'.

2. Locate the 'Navigation Icons' group and click on any layout in the list whose name ends in 'Image Navigation Button'.

3. Right-click on this layout and select 'New Layout'. Call your new layout whatever you want.

4. Customise the code as you see fit.
Image navigation button layouts have the following format:
<a href="http://url.to.link.to/" target="_self" onmouseover="SwapImage('image_name','rollover_image.gif')" onmouseout="RestoreImage()"><img src="normal_image.gif" alt="Some alternative text" border="0" name="image_name" /></a>

Substitute the placeholder values in there with real relevant values for you.
· normal_image.gif - the normal button graphic
· rollover_image.gif - the highlighted button graphic
· image_name - a name for the image.
Each button needs to have a unique name.

I dont know how to explain it any better. Which part of it are you struggling with?

Kind regards,

Thank's for coming back to me, as you are aware I tried to using this method, but as I am a new users to actinic, and not that familiar with the software!
So I really just don't understand what I am doing wrong!
I create/rename the new buttons I want in the Layout section, but I cannot find them to import them into my site, so I must be doing something wrong, I just do not why!

but I cannot find them to import them

try using the Search facility on the start menu of your PC to find the images, then move them into site1
