Imageready Rollovers inside a Dreamweaver Layer

[yinyang042]

Web Guru's,

Has anyone had this problem.

I created a small menu with 4 buttons with rollovers in imageready. After creating the rollovers and saving this optimized file out. I am able to view it in my browser and the rollovers work great. Since imageready puts the images inside of a table, I wanted to create a "layer" in dreamweaver and have the layer hold the table so that I could have it in an absolute place. However, when I do this and copy the table with the rollovers and paste the HTML into the layer (or div tag) the rollovers no longer work. I am copying and pasting inside the same HTML page (i say this because I know there is the javascript code inside the HEAD tag for the rollovers to work). Does anyone know why they will NOT work inside of a div tag? How do I fix this problem?

Here is what you do... Leave imageready where it belongs! as a sidekick to Photoshop.

It really is only good for one thing in my view and that's for creating bloated animated gif's.

Make your on-off states in Photoshop save them seperatly using the photoshop save for web feature and then build the rollovers in Dreamweaver using the dreamweaver rollover tool.

Thing is this... I would never use Dreamweaver to make/resize an image or edit a photo so why should I allow or think Photoshop/imageready can be an HTML editing program?

The DW rollover tool is easy to use and your going to get the right code the first time it sounds like you may already have the 2 images you need so reuse those but start over with a new document don't use the html output of PS or IR.

Hope this helped!
