Re: Help with CSS Rollover Links
Hi,
well i think you first need to learn the basics. e.g.: html + css before
proceeding to php (cake not to mention).
besides, its called "hover", not "rollover".
But anyway, to help you with that problem (maybe i missunderstood it
...), this is how you make a button wich changes the image when the
mouse is over it:
Viewcode:
link('Home', "blog/index/", array('id' => 'homebtn')); ?>
link('Best Postings', "blog/bestof/", array('id' =>
'best')); ?>
CSS:
a#homebtn { background: transparent url(path/to/button/img.png) 0 0
no-repeat); float: left; }
a#homebtn:hover { background: transparent url(path/to/hover/img.png) 0 0
no-repeat; float: left; }
hope that helps.
greets
Andreas

You have an extra comma after "'ID' => 'best'".

Could be a javascript or CSS issue.

Re: Help with CSS Rollover Links
Ok, good advice from both of you. This is what my code looks like now:
link('',array('controller'=>'blog','action' =>
'index'),array('ID' => 'homebtn','alt' => 'Home'));
echo $html->link('',array('controller'=>'blog','action' =>
'bestof'),array('ID' => 'best', ,'alt' => 'Best Postings'));
?>
This should be one button to the right of the other.There will be 5
total in a horizontal menu.
The problem now is that only one button will work at a time (link and
rollover). Either one will work when they're alone, but together, only
the first one will work (whichever one is first). I've tried
everything I can think of, but either nothing changes or the whole
page blanks out.
Thank you for your input.

Re: Help with CSS Rollover Links
Probably has an image, set as a background or something with on
rollover changes background image or whatever. To OP, this is not the
best option as if your viewer has images disabled, or they are using
screen readers and you have no alt text, and no text for the link,
they are kind of SOL. So you should probably change it so your site is
more accessible.

Re: Help with CSS Rollover Links
echo $html->link(
'',
array(
'controller'=>'blog',
'action' => 'index'
),
array(
'class' => 'homebtn'
)
);
But it looks to me like you should have an id="homebtn" (presumably,
there's only one on the page) with a class for the more general style
rules.
And why don't you have any text in the link?That's not very accessible.
