Interactive buttons & broken links

P

Paul Smith

Hi
I have created interactive buttons to navigate my site. They sit in the
_borders folder and are used in left.htm.

They work just fine in Preview and Preview in Browser modes but when
published when you mouse over or click on the button the graphic link gets
broken although the hyperlink still works. I realise that there are jpegs
created for each button to display each state for the button. What is going
on here.

Thanks
Paul

They are not designed to be used in Shared Border/Include Pages. However if you do search for this
issue over the last week or so, you will find a workaround.

They don't work too well within shared borders - as you've discovered.

Try Include pages or dynamic web templates (FP2003 only - but you don't
mention what version you're using).

What do you mean "Try Include pages".

My problem is I built the site using a temple before I understood about
sharded borders, dwts and layout frames. Initially I was using a link bar
from the template but link bars suck due to their inflexibility. So I
changed to int buttons, looks much nicer and now I am suffering from what is
clearly a bug in fp2003.

Using include pages will have the same problems, unless the included page is
in the same folder as the pages they are included in.
