-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I would guess what you really need is a pointer to a good guide to designing web pages with CSS. Unfortunately I can't think of a single excellent source. My "bible" in all matters HTML is the O'Reilly book "Web Design in a Nutshell" - 2nd edition. After that http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/ will get you a fairly comprehensive set of links to web-based resources. For what it's worth, my own unreliable guide to designing web pages with css might start something like this: First of all forget design - write you page as pure text and include some indication about the links and descriptions of the pictures which are going to be in it. Then read it to someone and see if it makes sense to them. The idea is that it should first make sense as a linear document. Once it does you can then decide which elements or groups of elements you want to move around the page and tart up to make a good visual design. The <div> element is your friend but don't over-use it. Elements can be "float"ed left or right on the page. Backgrounds can be changed when the mouse is over an element e.g. ".menu a:hover {background-color: gold;}" I have found that the main difficulty in css design is getting it to work with all major browsers - which mostly boils down to avoiding bugs in Internet Explorer. Good luck anyway Tony On Friday 26 September 2003 7:31 am, Richard Brown wrote: > Hi Guys > > I am trying to build a web site for a youth group and I want to > incorporate a variety of pictures and buttons! > > On the button front I want them on the home page and to be quotes of > young people like "It's fun" and that takes you to an activity page!
