is this normal im trying to put up the nav bar should i put the text on in PS7 or do it in Dw? i also tried to put it in the contant box and it moves like that is this ok?

hello,

you can do either way. However, what you have done here is wrong. If you want the text to be placed over that bg you have to set that image as the cell's background. If you just place the image there and then enter the text, than that happens which is showing in your image . You can also do it in photoshop and save yourself some time and make it prettier, but the way you are doing it now is more SEO friendly

alright yea ill do the buttons in PS and do contant in DW but how would put iframes in that conant box i dont know much HTML just the basics to get in on the web like on s:misfits sites he has the contant box and say u click on roster the contant box would change but not the hole site how would i do this if theres any tuts? thx

Try doing

<TD STYLE="BACKGROUND-IMAGE:URL('./IMAGES/IMAGE1.GIF'); WIDTH="IMAGE WIDTH" HEIGHT="IMAGE HEIGHT"> TEXT HERE </TD>

to make things easier when starting out u should try making a container table and have a subtable in a <tr><td></tr></td> but having the image as a background can work as well but it won't be clickable if you want it to be able to link they will have to click directly on the text if it doen't matter go that way.

just a side note you can also position the background image and make sure u set the background image to repeat none.

and if worse comes to worse u can make shove everything in a <div>tag and absolute position everything on the page. in theory this is the way that things should be positioned but because of cross browser standards it doesn't really work as well.

i hope i helped if i didn't look on http://www.w3schools.com/xhtml/default.asp it's very,very good they have lots of examples and they right the web standards. And if your just learning i suggest ditching dreamweaver it's really nice to use if u kno html already.
