More on nav buttons

[gary in jersey]

i was using a theme that employed the use of headerguide showing broucher pages that i use, i have now rearanged my nav items and dont employ headerguide anymore, are there induvidual netqoutevars: that i can employ so i can still use the images for the buttons as the headerguide did but singular so i can arange them as i wish....?

also is it possable to make the second button image stay visable when you are veiwing that page without java.. or maybe a little java if i can copy and paste.. cant write it

Help | Help Topics - index tab - type navigation, select and read - this gives you the individual names for the navigation links available.

not explaining myself propely again

sorry bill it is specificly my broucher pages special offers and about us the netqoutevar:headerguide had been takeing care of these but i dont see individual netqoutevars for these anywhere, is this because the theme i used automaticly generated these pages, is it a customvar i need to control these buttons induvidually now or are there still netqoutevars from the headerguide i can pick up on....?

Gary,

OK - I understand now. There are no netquotevars for the additional pages - if you think back to when you created them, you will remember you had to choose the button image filename during creation. These buttons still exist in your site1 folder and so you can add the links fairly easily.

Just preview one of your existing brochure pages and view source in your browser. Highlight and copy all the code used to create any one of the existing brochure navigation links. Back in Actinic, go to Advanced | Template Manager and open the Brochure template Act_BrochurePrimary.html and paste the copied code in after the last NAVB netquotevar. Change the referenced page to the name of the special offers page, and change the image file names to the correct files from site1 folder.

Repeat the paste and change for the other added brochure pages, then save the template and do another preview - if you need additional spacing re-open the template and add   before the links.

is there some thing wrong here bill

<td width="170">
<A HREF="acatalog/../about_us.html" TARGET="_parent" onMouseOver="SwapImage('hnavb_specials','acatalog/brochurespecials2.gif')"
onMouseOut="RestoreImage()"><IMG SRC="acatalog/brochurespecials1.gif" ALT="specials button" BORDER=0 HEIGHT=28 WIDTH=170 name=hnavb_specials></A>
<br></td>

do the images now have to be uploaded in extra files to be visable

Gary,

That link seems wrong - its pointing at the about us page, but using the special offers images?

There should be no need to specify the image files in the Advanced | Additional files option. Since they are in the site1 folder and are referenced in the template, Actinic should automatically upload them for you.

Try

<tr><td valign="top" bgcolor="#fdcc13"><p align="center"><a href="http://www.newblades.co.uk/acatalog/Specials.html" onMouseOver="SwapImage('specialoffers2','acatalog/brochurespecials2.gif')" onMouseOut="RestoreImage()"><img src="acatalog/brochurespecials1.gif" alt="specials"  BORDER=0 HEIGHT=28 WIDTH=170 name="specialoffers2"></a></td></tr>

You have specified the border attribute twice - once as BORDER=0 and once as border="0" and I have changed the name attribute to the same name you use in the Javascript.
