BUT HOW DO I ADD MY ROLLOVERS, THE IMAGES (THE ROLLED OVER ONES) ARE LISTED ON THE SIDE BUT HOW DO I ENABLE THEM ON THE DREAMWEAVER SITE, AS DRAG AND DROP DOESNT WORK TO ADD THE ROLLOVERS.


hope u lot can help :confused:

[crees!]

Umm.. aren't the rollovers done in Javascript? Just make sure the file with the JS is uploaded.

Dreamweaver has something for image rollovers built in. Look through the menu's at the top. I can't remember which one it's in though.

[ChicoWeb]

Insert > Image Rollover

Or, Insert > Image Objects > Rolloever Image...

I forget which ver. of DW is which.

i was told that i need to use php somthin or other to keep my nav bar the same throughout the site

WHAT? please help me u lot i need to know how to keep my nav bar consistant throughout my site.

put your nav bar in a seperate file called navbar.php, so that if you were to open it in a browser you would only see the bar on it's own.

then anywhere you want that nav bar to appear in your site type this code:
<? php include 'navbar.php' ?>

and save all your files as .php files for example 'index.php'.

Unless you are using PHP elsewhere then the best way to include a file like this is to use a Server Side Include (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server-side_include).
This does rely on your web server having SSI's enabled, and normally requires you to name your files with a .shtml extension rather than .html (simply so the web server does not have to waste time looking for includes in .html files).

You want to get rid of the space between <? and php. I thought you were using short tags for a moment and was going to go on about that, but I see it was a typo. I would always tend to include all the brackets/semicolons etc. myself too, though I know PHP is very flexible on it.
Anyway:
<?php include('navbar.php'); ?>

And if you think the navbar is essential to your site and don't want the page loading without it if there's some kind of error, use require(); instead of include();

You don't need to use PHP to have a consistent nav bar. Just investigate how to use templates with DW.
