Hi everyone,
I'm planning on recreating my website (url in signature) in GoLive and I'm having some problems... The site was originally built in Dreamweaver (an old version a long time ago).
It badly needs to be redone because it is currently built only as images, even the text! I am an amateur at web design at most, and I can only build them visually-I don't know HTML code at all. I'm looking into GoLive because it appears to be easier to work with as far as layers go. I've found that it can add a transparent text layer over an image, which I couldnt do in Dreamweaver (at least I couldn't figure out how).
Anyway, I can't figure out how to do rollovers in GoLive. When I built the site originally, I would create all the rollover states in Photoshop and import that file into ImageReady which let me set the rollover states for each button, save a GIF file, and drop that into Dreamweaver.
I'm trying to figure out if I can now do the rollover states directly in GoLive, since it is integrated with ImageReady. When I import my layered PSD file into GoLive and add it to my HTML page, it seems to work fine: It recognizes all the slices and lets me select them individually. However, when I go to the Rollover palette menu, it says "Sliced Smart Objects cannot be modified using the rollover menu". Why?? It doesn't make sense.
Can someone please tell me if this is even possible? Going through ImageReady was such a pain before, and I want to streamline the process as much as possible, as I have lots of rollover buttons to create.
Thanks!
