Hello Folks,

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction with a problem I'm
having with rollover buttons.

I've used Fireworks to create five rollover buttons with round corners onto a
single transparent canvas. I've exported the images as gif and then pasted the
relevant code into Dreamweaver.

I'm getting two results that are puzzling me.

1. The images are not being displayed with transparent backgrounds, as you can
see at this url:
http://www.magicalwonders.com/rollover/index2.html The corners are showing
which is not what I want. I notice that there are four types of gif than can be
exported when making rollovers. So far, I've tried using Gif adaptive 256 and
Gif Websnap 256 with no success.

2. The second puzzle is that including the javascript code seems to have
increased the top margin for the background of the page. If you compare the
page before any code is added, you can see the difference:

Hope someone can advise

Many thanks,

Just a quick update. I've corrected all the errors in the code and that has
fixed the margin problem.

So now I just have the issue of rollover buttons with round corners. Not sure
what I'm doing wrong?

Hope someone can help.

Ooops! I've just spotted that I had "No transparency" selected in the optimise
options.

I've currently selected "Index Transparency" which seems to work well, but not
sure what the difference is to "Alpha Transparency"?

Myles,

Try exporting your menu images as png 8 files with index transparency.

Thanks Alex,

I missed your reply before posting my last message. I've managed to get this
working O.K. using gif adaptive 256 with index transparency on the export.

There seem to be a lot of different types of gifs! I'll have to read up about
them to see which is recommended for what! Too much choice

Many thanks,
