I'm using FP 2000 on Win98SE. I was trying mightily to craft my first set
of web pages this weekend, using the "Fiesta" theme. I managed to figure
out some things, but there were several that were beyond me. I'm hoping
someone here can point me to a good "newbie" book or on-line tutorial to
help with these issues - or let me know if any of these are beyond what a
"newbie" should try to do.
(a) Left side navigation buttons: On the Fiesta theme, this is a balloon
graphic on the left side, a bar on bottom, and text floating over the bar.
Can I change the balloon to something else, and a different "something else"
for each button? How do I format the button's text to a different font and
size, and bring it down closer to the bar? Can I specify which buttons will
show on individual pages, rather than for every page of that level?
(b) Pictures inserted on a page: How do I make them change on mouseover?
Can I make a picture change to a video clip? Or to a looping set of
pictures (not sure of the correct terminology for that)? I know you can
make a picture a hyperlink hot spot - can you do that for changing pictures?
Or would it be better to just set the hyperlink in the caption underneath?
(c) Thumbnails: I've seen pages of thumbnails that open in a new window on
double-click, and I've also seen a loop of thumbnails in a single line
across the top, and the selected picture opens in the bottom of the page. I
'd like to do the second. How do I set keywords for the pictures, so that
selecting keyword from a drop-down box will show only those pictures?
(d) Info and Contact forms: Is the information on the Product and Service
page Info forms and the Contact Me page form saved on the server, or emailed
to my address? I'd rather have it emailed to me.
A drop-kick towards a good book or tutorial will be most welcome, and a
warning that I'm trying to swim too deep without my floaties will not be
ignored!
Thank you for your help.
