Greetings All im making my first site and so far i have it made into a 2 frame mainpage with a main and menu bar with a little help from JAC
now I want to make buttons, im using bravenet.com as my provider and they offer these things called flash buttons which use JAVA and Macromedia but they take forever to load to be perfectly honest ive never seen one load one time i let the thing load for ten minutes but thats all the patience i have for that, im sure visitors wouldnt have that much patience for a Download <!--more--> either <br />
<br />
So now i want to learn how to make buttons for my menu bar this im sure should be easier than frames<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
Aryeh<!--content-->Well, if your not that good on image editors, you could try <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.coolarchive.com">www.coolarchive.com</a><!-- w --> they offer a button creator.<br />
<br />
I started with them, and still use them for creating instant banners like the one for HTMLforums in my sig.<!--content-->so what do you do after you make the button image<br />
basically how do you link the button to the URL and make the two one?<br />
<!--content-->You mean have the button link to a URL?<br />
Like this:<br />
<br />
<a href=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"blahblah.html"><img src="yourimage.jpg" border="0" width="100" height="100" alt="this image is a link!"></a><br />
<br />
<br />
It's just like a regular hyperlink, but with an image tag between.<br />
<br />
<br />
I hope that's what you meant.<!--content-->ok i got the buttons made but i need to target them to display the whole page, i forgot to mention the buttons were in the sideframe so when i clicked on the button the page opened up in the menu bar instead of the whole page opening so i guess i need to learn the attributes to make it open up as a whole page.<br />
<br />
my mainpage is broken into two frames a menu frame and a text frame.<br />
<br />
sorry i forgot to mention that<br />
<br />

<br />
p.s anyone know where i can get some cool anime avatars?<!--content-->You need target to open in the textframe.<br />
<br />
In the menu.html put this in the head:<br />
<base target="textframe"><br />
<br />
Only if the NAME in the frameset is "textframe"<br />
Replace "textframe"<br />
by the NAME you used.<br />
<br />
:rocker:<!--content-->yup, its just like linking regular text.<br />
<br />
THey way hes targeting makesit easier for mass linking. So you dont have to put the code in every single a href<!--content-->Got it all worked out now thanks<br />
<br />
