I'm desiging a new site for my business: http://www.build2light.com/ So far I just have an index page up. The images are OK, basic layout is OK. But I wanted to create main navigation bar buttons that look like our lights product. The only way I know how is PhotoShop, then use Fireworks to create roll over image and drop down menus. Ideally I would like the 'lights' buttons to stay 'on' or 'over' state even when somebody scrolls down the drop down menu. The light would keep the 'over' state image until a selection was made from the drop down menu or moved to a different button/elsewhere on the site.
Is there a way to achieve this effect in Fireworks? What about Spry hortizontal menu widget? I have tried this but have had a hard time styling different images for each button. Does anybody know a good way in general?
Hello jjplay9, This effect can be done with CSS, look at this example: http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/pro_dropline8.html Another tip for your website: background images too large and heavy, simlify them and use the background property "repeat-x". Have a nice day!
