Holy moly... I'm full of questions these days.

I'm trying to make image rollovers for the 'buttons' at the top of my blog, and I'm having troubles.

I've got the appropriate images all created and uploaded.

I tried using Dreamweaver to create the coding for me... it created a Javascript code.

I tried it out, and it worked when previewing the code... but once I save the code, the Javascript ... the actual < script > part ... gets removed from my coding... so the rollovers no longer work.  The rollover coding that goes with the image tags remains (and can be seen in the page source), but the scripting mumbo jumbo gets removed.

Any ideas of how to do it without Javascript?  (I'm assuming this blogging system is setup to disallow the type of coding I was trying to do).

Yet another question... can someone tell me how I can create a menu item listing my categories, set as links to each category?

And, one more... where do I go to edit/delete comments? 

For some reason I got inundated with spam on my recent Message Board post... but I can't seem to find where/how to delete the comments.



Thanks!!

Hey folks... if someone who understands this CSS stuff happens to wander through here and see this... could you help a brotha out?  :)

I've been monkeying with the CSS coding, trying to put in a custom header.

I created the image, and used slices to break it up, to allow me to use parts of the images a links/buttons.

I'm sure there are more stylish ways to do this, but I'm really outside of what I understand here already. LOL

Anyhoo... I got it ALMOST working right... the header is up there, the 'buttons' work... but something is a little askew.

In Firefox, it looks great... everything lines up perfectly.

However, in IE, the "boxes" of the blog itself don't line up with the header image.  If you view the page in IE you'll see what I mean... the 'central blue bar' of the blog is a bit to the left of where it continues into the header image.

As I said, though, in Firefox, it lines up right where it should.

THe problem is, I have no idea why it works in one and not the other.

So... if someone who knows this stuff could take a peek at the page source, and look at what I've done... where I've been fiddling is down at the  BEGIN TITLE CONTENT  area...      I deleted the < %Title% >  line calling to insert the BLog title, and deleted the class = title from the TD tag just previous to the BEGIN TITLE CONTENT LINE  (both so that the blog title won't show and so that the standard title "block" doesn't show)... and then I put in the coding that Photoshop created for my sliced header image, as seen below the line...

Where it says  END CUSTOM HEADER  is where I stopped fiddling.  I also threw a couple 'width=800' lines in a couple places, as it seemed logical... LOL  ... once in the table tag just before the BEGIN TITLE COMMENT, and once in the Body style stuff right at the top of the CSS page.

So, yeah... if someone who really understands, and isn't just fiddling like me, could look at the source code for my page, and decipher what I might need to do to get everything lined up in both IE and Firefox, I'd love you forever!!!! :)
