    Question Some Stupid Newcomer Questions

    Hello everyone,

    my name is Kira Resari, and I have just created my first website using Net Objects Fusion Essentials (If this post is in the wrong forum, please kindly move it to the correct one).

    While I'm mostly pleased with how it turned out, there are a few things I couldn't figure out, and would like some advice on.

    For reference, here's the website: www.tri-tail.com
    ---

    Question 1: How to make hover-effects?

    I have several graphics serving as buttons, and would like to have a hover-effect on them when the mouse is over them. I already have the hover-graphics prepared, but I have no idea how to implement this. What is the best way to do so?

    Examples: The nav bar; The "Zeal"-banner on the main page

    ---

    Question 2: How to add favicons?

    I am talking about the icon that appears to the left of the website's name in the tab (like the square root on this forum). I already have an icon prepared, and would like to add it to my page. How do I best go about this?

    ---

    Question 3: How to add tooltips on hotspots?

    On http://www.tri-tail.com/Zeal/zeal.html , subpage "World" (direct link doesn't work, see below) I have an image with hotspots. I have already added Alt-tags to each of the hotspots, but they are not displayed when hovering over the elements (unlike the Alt-tags when hovering over normal graphics, which are displayed correctly). How can I display the Alt-tags (or alternatively, tooltips) when hovering over a hotspot.

    Extension: Can I make a hover effect for the hotspots, and if yes, how?

    ---

    Question 4: How to make user-friendly page adresses?

    Currently, I have babylonic page adresses like
    Code:
    http://www.tri-tail.com/Zeal/Zeal---World/zeal---world.html
    , which are automatically generated by the programm (and don't even work as direct links, because forums automaticall convert it into: http://www.tri-tail.com/Zeal/Zeal---...l---world.html ). What I would like would be an adress like " http://www.tri-tail.com/Zeal/world.html ", but still have "Zeal ~ World" displayed as the page title. Can I do that, and if yes, how?

    Thank you already for your answers.

    I'll take #1 and #2...

    1. Use the Picture Rollover tool in Standard Components.

    2. Upload your favicon file to the root of your site. You can ftp it yourself or you can add it as an asset in Asset View.

    OK Chuck I'll take the hard ones

    Hover tool tips:

    Tooltip hovers are best done using dhtml, javasript. ajax, or css which are external scripting languages. You can find pre-written scripts you can insert into Fusion at several repositories.

    I'll give you the google link I used to locate several for you.

    https://www.google.com/search?q=dhtm...utf-8&oe=utf-8

    Find one you like and insert the scripts using this tutorial

    http://www.gotfusion.com/tutorials/tut.cfm?itemID=4068

    User friendly URLS:

    Fusion will take what you used as your "page name" at the time you created the page and automatically use it as the page title and html document name as well as the banner text and button text.

    You can modify this in site view on the properties palette

    http://www.gotfusion.com/tutorials/tut.cfm?itemID=242

    The site construction (where pages are located) is controlled in Publish View. You have several options.

    http://www.gotfusion.com/tutorials/tut.cfm?itemID=181

    http://www.gotfusion.com/tutorials/tut.cfm?itemID=182

    Page names (the name of the html document) should be as short as you can make them. Here is my SEO tutorial that has a lot of this info located in it which you should find helpful

    Choose HTML 4.01 for "fixed" layout.

    But why?

    Okay, I tried doing that but...

    1. When I use the Picture Rollover Tool, all I get is a gray rectangle, and a dead link ("The files at /G:/Programs/NETOBJ~1/NetObjects System/complink.gif couldn't be found"). How do I make it work?

    2. I have added my favicon in the assets view, and named it "favicon", but for some reason, it still doesn't get displayed. What am I doing wrong?

    Oh, and also...
    After I noticed that it didn't work, I wanted to exit without saving, in order to fall back to an earlier version.
    However, I found out that NOF automatically saved at some point, and so now I have a broken version. How can I prevent that?
