Just make
sure that you note the path and name of the image before you delete it, so you can find it again.
Adding a Navigation Bar
Rollovers are nice effects, but a single button does not constitute a navigation system for a Web site.
Typically, several buttons with a similar look and feel are placed next to one another to form a navigation
bar. To make touring a site as intuitive as possible, the same navigation bar should appear on each page.
You can achieve this effect by placing a copy of the navigation bar on each page, or by creating a frameset
with one frame containing the navigation bar. Consistency of design and repetitive use of the navigation bar
simplifies getting around a site??”even for a first-time user.
Some designers build their navigation bars in a separate graphics program and then import them into
Dreamweaver. Adobe Fireworks, with its capability to export both images and code, makes this a strong
option. Other Web designers, however, prefer to build separate rollover images in a graphics program and
then assemble all the pieces at the HTML layout stage. Dreamweaver automates such a process with its
Navigation Bar object.
The Navigation Bar object incorporates rollovers??”and more. A Navigation Bar element can use up to four
different images, each reflecting a different user action:
n Up: The user??™s pointer is away from the image.
