Right. Here we go.
I am a not very good at creating websites, but I do try ,and came here for
help a week or so ago. (24-09-07)
I explained that on my own website I use CSS hyperlink buttons which give
the appearance of movement when clicked.
I did the Priory Singers Website a while back with static hyperlink buttons
and wish to make them behave in the same way as mine do except that they
should be a fixed shape rectangle which accommodates either one or two rows
of text AND that they should look and operate the same what ever browser is
used.
I was given the code you see ,and refer to above, which looks fine on my
machine and validates ok.
The IEFixes.htc bit which you will see I was given earlier in the thread
simulates the movement in IE, but is not needed for Firefox or Opera - but
I guess most folk who might access the site will use IE. It's a frippary I
know, but what the heck.
The only feedback I have received up until now was from someone telling me
that O had not specified a background colour in my index page UNTIL now.
I don't mind you're criticisms altho' they are a bit patronising, but I
would like your help as I am not good enough to put the mistakes right,
particularly because they were not originally mine.
