OT: Building a Website Help? Java??

[LaRue Medlin]

Im building a new website and found one I would like to model after. But I don't know how to make it work. I figured out how to make a roll-over picture work but what I want to do is.. have a list of links down the left side where you roll over them with the mouse,, as your mouse is over the link button, a picture shows up in the middle of the screen, kinda like a preview of the page it links to. Am I making sense?

I'm kind of curious about this myself. If you hear from someone by e-mail, let me know.



What site were you looking at where you saw something like this?

Macromedia Dreamweaver is what I use. Works great.



Got an FTP? Host? Registered site?

Here is a great site with code snipets and samples of what your looking for...

BTW, I can't say enought GREAT things about the Frontpage tempates available at frontpagetools.com.



I recently updated my website (www.tjrtech.com) using one of their templates and FrontPage 2000 (not my normal dev tool), and it turned out rather nice.



You may wish to look through their templates, LaRue.



Oh, and LaRue, one word of advise...don't go to crazy with animations and things bouncing around, dissolving in and out, etc. IMHO, that stuff is distracting and also takes away from the professionalism that you no doubt want to portray. The old adage holds true especially for website design: "Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD do something."
