"Click to activate this control" problem

Gregg Hill

I spoke too soon. It works fine, except the little box on the left side of
the buttons is now gone.

Dang, I think the bug bit me.

Hmm. I don't understand something here.

I created the menu using the tutorial and it works just fine. I then
goofed around and changed the colors of the two jpg images, yet it made no
difference in the menu color. So, I edited the CSS file to change the
colors, and it works fine with the new colors.

Here is where I got confused. Why do the images even need to be there? Or
do they? Just for the heck of it, I renamed the image extensions so they
could not load, and it still works.

What's up?

AFAIK, this NG is neutral on the subject of top vs bottom
posting. Originally I did bottom post to the OP, and it all
fit well on on one page. And then everyone else bottom
posted on that to fit what was already there
If you would really like it, I will top post from now on-
heck, I'll spend the 10 minutes to reformat this thread for
you so you can read it

Patty,

I dropped off my wife after we had lunch today and I had a few hours to
kill while waiting for her to get off work, so I fired up the laptop with
my Verizon Wireless data card (love that thing!) and hit the link.

I made a test menu page on my web server and it works fine, looks great
(less filling?).

That is a good site and I thank you again for your patience. I think I'll
download a trial of Dreamweaver and Fireworks spend a few hours on it. I
always hated the way my friend's site looked, but it was functional, so I
never did anything with it.
