Hey guys I am new to wed design, this being my first. I am using expression web and I have no idea how to go about doint the navigtion for my site. Any help with be appreciated.

Thanks

about the only answer is;

you list all the URLs of pages that make up your website in anchor tags <a> </a>

Now, if your where more explicit about what you mean, you would get better answers.

What do you mean by more explicit? What info do you need?

Well just little things, such as;

what is the site about?
what is it going to look like?
what is the navigation going be? buttons or plain text
is the navigation going to be a list? An image map? Flash? etc etc

and numerous other things

Ok. Lets see.
My site is a financial information site. I am going to have about 5 or 6 pages. It is a plain html page with a jpg background. Not a lot of graphics. I would like to use Buttons for the Navigation and the Navigation is going to be a list. I don't want to do any flash.

I don't know if this helps you to help me.

Thanks.

Pretty straightforward really.
Your navigation goes in a list:

<ul id="nav">
<li><a href="xxxx.htm">nav 1</a></li>
<li><a href="xxxx.htm">nav 2</a></li>
<li><a href="xxxx.htm">nav 2</a></li>
</ul>

The CSS would look something like this:

#nav{ list-style: none;} /*removes bullets, add margin padding etc. */
#nav li a{background: url(button.gif) no-repeat;}
#nav li a:hover {
background: url(button_over.gif) no-repeat;

Set top and bottom padding on the li a to equal the height of the button, and left and right as needed.

This doesn't cover everything you need, but it's the basic part of what you need for your buttons. Your buttons should be BLANK, using TEXT in the LI for your navigation.

Where do I put my html code for my Navigation?
