How do you create your rollovers

[KITT]

Hi I have a question about rollover navigation bars. Im interesting in knowing how you create a rollover with a selected state. what i mean is a 4 state rollover: normal, over, down, selected. how do you get the selected rollover to show on the page you link to. I design my rollover in Photoshop and slice them up in image ready but when i use them i can't get the selected state to show up, because I load a new page everytime and the normal state then occur.

I don;t want to use frames so I'm currios to know how you do!

You can use CSS (the best choice IMO)

Here's a nice tutorial to it all:

CSS is definately the way to go, much more widely supported than the Javascript method.

For dropdown menus I use the following tutorial, also from A List Apart

I use something like a bit of JavaScript and CSS combined. It has worked pretty well so far

Rollovers are cool and all, but alot of us (myself included) use NoScript to prevent sites from messing with our browsing experience.

You should at least have a plain-text navigation page for those with JS off, or using browsers that don't support it (like IE on WM5 ppcs).
