Rollover is jargon

[grace]

Can some on take a look at my buttons and tell me in in the simplest of ways what I need to do in order to make the roll over buttons work with my own buttons I have created .The buttons i have created have their OWN HTML from the software I used ,So how and where do I intergrate that with Actinic. www.gracefashionshop.com

I cant follow the instruction in advanced user guide below

(You can insert your own custom rollover navigation buttons into any template in the store using code of the following format...
<a href="http://url.to.link.to/" onMouseOver="SwapImage('image_name','rollover_image.gif')" onMouseOut="RestoreImage()">
<img src="normal_image.gif" alt="Some alternative text" name="image_name" border="0">
</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.)

Those instructions are pretty clear. You've not said what you don't understand.

Post the code from one of the buttons you have created and we can show you how to use them with the Actinic way described above.

The buttons are acually in Gif format.What I dont understand it what template do I place the instruction in the user guide because when I tried it ,All buttons where missing any picture and the was a text saying "Some alternative text"

Then the second part of the instruction says
(''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.)

Does it mean each button has an html which i should apply this instruction and if so how do i find these????

Thanks

It means you must have a pair for buttons for each link. One button will show when the page is opened for the first time (you put the actual name of the file that contains that button into the position currently occupied by normal_image.gif, and delete the characters normal_image.gif).

The second button is what will show when the user moves his/her mouse over the first button - usually a copy of the first button, with a different background colour. (you put the actual name of the file that contains this button into the position occupied by rollover_image.gif, deleting that text).

And then you give it a unique name "MyLinkButton" for example.

Ok thanks but where is the location with Actinic of the templates for all the individual buttons that i need to apply this instruction to .I am refering to the instruction below:-

''(You can insert your own custom rollover navigation buttons into any template in the store using code of the following format...''

The rollover code appears to be working albeit the image in the "over" state is wrong - the easiest solution would be to rename the new "over" images you have already create and label them the same as what is currently being generated and save into the root of the site1 folder .... that will save any uneccessary code changes and the existing code will simply insert the new images in place of the original.

A view source of the live site will let you know the names of the "over" state images.
