Week 4

This week we began to do more Dremaweaver tutorials and today we did slicing and rollover techniques on buttons. I managed to do rollover techniques so that when rolling over the buttons the button goes a slightly lighter colour to signify you have rolled over it. I also looked at the other techniques Dreamweaver has too offer. I began to work on my investigation and also our lectuer helped us in regards to making our own fonts design.

We also looked at geting pop up boxes to appear when clicking the certain link and also learnt how to put a pop up menu on the link to show consumers what the link does and where it goes.

In Simons lesson today, we had our first lesson of Dreamweaver and made our first basic HTML website. It is important to do housekeeping so it is easier for you to know and access the files. It is also so Dreamweaver can find it more easily.

I linked pages together corretly, linking the home page and index page together. I created folders to store the pictuers and text used in our website which was the mian folder Root, then 3 folders within Root which were HTML, Images, and Raw files. This made it easier for me to find my files along with Dreamweaver recognizing them faster.

I inserted flash text and created a rollover button. I inserted other flash elements that included loop, inserting images via the image URL, and inserting borders around the website. I had a look at inserting flash buttons, however Dreamwevers own buttons are very basic and it would be more better and creative to make your own buttons.

Refreshing the attibutes panel will update any folders that have been imported etc.

We then looked at embedding YouTube videos within our website and using Iframes. Iframes - In a field of video compression a video frame is compressed using different algorithms with different advantages and disadvantages.
