| New Member Name: Russell Thomas Location: Seattle, Washington Join Date: Feb 2004 | Worthwile Menu Building Software? Hello,
I am brand new here and have a question or two. I am not a professional web developer, I specialize in architecture and computer graphics, but dabble in web design.
What I am looking for is a versitile program to build menus that may use images provided by me for the buttons with all the special effects like roll overs.
This program needs to ouput in a very compatible code and that code must easily be implemented into web pages.
I am completely redoing my site and have a lot of materials and design done, but an exciting menu has been a little problematical, espeacially after inserting it in my page and previewing in a browser.
Like I have said, I have no formal training and so I could be overlooking the obvious, I do have Adobe PS and Image ready and can slice up a menu there, but I want to be able to easily change my page in the future and that doesn't work for me unless I can make a page of just the menu area and insert it into my page on a layer or something?
Which would be my next question, where/how is the best place to insert menu code, on a layer, directly in the source, as a script or applet? I am having trouble controling where it ends up exactly and taking up more room on the screen than the actual menu is and messing up my page graphics.
I am sure there is an easy answer, I am just not that knowledgeable on the subject. Thanks for listening to my rambling and taking the time to respond. |
