Inserting a navigation bar

To create a navigation bar:

1 Do one of the following:
Choose Insert > Navigation Bar.
In the Common panel of the Object palette, select Insert Navigation Bar.
The Insert Navigation Bar dialog box appears.
2 In the Element Name field, type a name for the navigation bar element.
Element names appear in the Nav Bar Elements list. You can use the up or down arrow button to arrange elements in the navigation bar.
3 Select image state options (you must select an Up Image; other image states are optional):
In the Up Image field, click Browse to select the image to be displayed initially.
In the Over Image field, click Browse to select the image to be displayed when the user moves the pointer over the image.
In the Down Image field, click Browse to select the image to be displayed after the user clicks the image.
In the Over While Down Image field, click Browse to select the image to be displayed after the user clicks the image, then moves the pointer over the image.
4 In the When Clicked, Go To URL field, select a location in which the file will open by doing one of the following:
Select Main Window to open the file in the same window.
Select a frame in which the file will open.
Note: If the frame you wish to target doesn't appear on the Target pop-up menu, exit the Insert Navigation Bar dialog box, and name the frame.
For information about naming a frame, see Frame properties.
5 Select image loading options:
Preload Images downloads the images when the page loads. If this option isn't selected, there may be a delay when the user moves the pointer over the rollover image.
Select Show "Down Image" Initially to display the selected element in its down state when the page is displayed. For example, when the home page loads, the home page button should be in its down state.
When this option is selected, an asterisk appears after the element in the Nav Bar Elements list.
6 Under Insert, select from these options:
To insert the navigation bars elements vertically or horizontally in the document, use the Insert pop-up menu.
To insert the navigation bar elements in a table, select the Use Tables checkbox.
7 Click the plus (+) button to add another element to the navigation bar, then follow steps 2 through 6 to set the state for that element.
8 Click OK.
