I designed and uploaded a small website. The navigation buttons change colour when the curser is placed on them. The rollovers worked fine from my hard disk but when uploaded they only "rolled" with Opera but remaind static on IE6.

IE6 (and below) can ONLY use the hover pseudo class on links. If your hover is on the button itself or some other element, it is not going to work in IE 6 w/o a bit of scripting. There is a small script called whatever:hover that is easily implemented.

Opera, FF, and Safari all correctly allow the use of the hover pseudo class on any element.

Thanks LadynRed,
I'm new to website design and don't know the differance between "hover pseudo class" and rollover.

I designed this site in Dreamweaver 8 and made the rollovers using the swap image command. Does that make and differance?

SwapImage is just javascript, and it should work in IE.

Make sure your paths are EXACTLY the same on your host server as they are on your pc.
It would also help if you had a URL where we could SEE the problem live.

I figured out the problem; I was testing a small site I had designed on a friend's server space. The problem was with the server. After deleting the previous site I had on there and uploading the new site ( 5 times ) and the rollovers were not working, the next day I noticed that the old site appeared hen I typed in the url That's why I wasn't able to give you a link.

I'm guessing this friend is either playing games with me or the server is conroled by pirates.

Anyway, here is the link

AsI said, it's a very small site I designed for the company I work for and am waitingfor the managers to give me more infomaterial to put on the site and hopefully after cutting through the red tape, put it into it's own domain.

Looks like the rollovers are working ok now, a little sluggish, but that could be the server too.

Your logo is very pixelated, you might want to try to get a better resolution version and replace that, it will look nicer.

I think I'll start to pull my hair out now.

The servr has decided not to show the company logo that should appar above the navigation buttons on all the pages! It was there this morning. That srver really needs a bullet through it's hard disk

Thank you LadynRed for notcing that the Thomson logo is too pixelated and maybe a bit too large.

You're welcome
My guess would be that the path may not be correct and that's why your logo is MIA.

I put all my images in the root folder, the same folder as the html files.
Is it preferable to put imsges in an "image" folder?

What does MIA mean? Is it a relative of the CIA?
