To import a DrawPlus rollover graphic:
1. Choose Web Object from the Insert menu and select DrawPlus
Rollover... from the submenu.
2. Locate the HTML file for the rollover graphic. Keep Embed graphic
files checked to incorporate the images into the project, or uncheck to link
them.
3. Click OK.
WebPlus automatically inserts a placeholder for the object.
Adding navigation elements
In WebPlus, certain types of theme graphic called navigation elements are
programmed to understand your site structure, making it easy to design a site
that’s simple to navigate. You just select a navigation element—such as a
Navbar (navigation bar), or a Previous or Next button—from the Studio’s
Theme Graphics tab (or a dialog) and WebPlus does the rest!
Previous/Next buttons automatically link laterally, to adjacent pages on the
same level. Navbars combine buttons with popup menus to facilitate
movement between the various sections and levels of a site. For example, in
this navbar the buttons provide links to the Home page and various top-level
section pages, while popup menus link to child pages within each section.
You can easily install navigation elements at any level of your site,
reconfigure them to link to a particular part of the site, change the appearance
of the popup menu, and exclude particular pages from navigation as needed.
When you define a navigation element, you use standard terminology like
"Parent Level" or "Previous/Next" to specify which part of the site should be
linked to, relative to the starting page—i.e. which buttons should be included.
Because navigation elements "understand" your site structure, they update
dynamically if you alter page names or relationships, or cut/paste the
navigation element to another page! The links are always relative to the page
where the element is located. For example, if a navbar links to child-level
pages, it will continue to do so—even if that means linking to different
pages—if you move it, or the page it’s on, to a different place in the structure.
