Hello -
First I should tell you that I'm new to these kinds of forums and just a little past being a newbie at website creation (I'm OK with Dreamweaver and Fireworks but not so hot with the actual html code). I've managed to create a navigation bar with a pop-up menu in Fireworks and have used it to create a template in Dreamweaver. I've been trying to add links to the buttons in Fireworks (not yet the pop-up menu) and have been unsuccessful. I go to the properties box for each button and try to put a link to the webpage I created from my template (right now these are .htm files saved in the root directory of my website on my local hard drive). So, for example, I put in C:\\Documents and Settings\KKline\My Documents\akim\Speech Communication\About Us.htm. This will link me to the page, but it overides my "over state" and the links I've entered for the other buttons. Clearly I'm doing something wrong. Can someone give me some advice on how to correct this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kim

Firstly, I advise you to use relative links. For example:

'About Us.htm'

not 'C:\\Documents and Settings\KKline\My Documents\akim\Speech Communication\About Us.htm'

what do you mean 'overides'? I'm not sure I understand that bit.

Also try not to use spaces in your filenames. Depending on what type of server you're files are it can cause unexpected results. Use about_us.htm or About_Us.htm or even about-us, aboutus, AboutUs, you get the idea!

If you've already created your nav menu and all you're trying to do is add links to each button, you can do it in dreamweaver. When you exported the nav bar did you select save as "html and images"? If you did then fireworks will have created the html for you (I'm assuming this is what you meant by your template?). You can add the links for each menu item in dreamweaver.

Fireworks (if a link hasn't been selected before exporting) will use the # symbol for each link in the html it writes out. So just pop open dreamweaver, switch to source-code view and find the links for each button which will look like <a href="#">[button image here]</a> Just replace the # with the your link.

If that doesn't solve the problem, post more details
