Bars:
Dreamweaver will also help you make Navigation Bars.
There are four possible
states of an image that you can make:
1. Up (the normal state of the button)
2. Over (the mouse over state of the button)
3. Down (the state of the button when it is pressed)
4. Over While Down (When the user mouses over a pushed in button---not commonly
used)
Setting it up:
1. Make three images for
each navigation item. One for the Up state, one for the Over state, and one
for Down.
