Navigation Tabs HELP!!
in [Fireworks]
|
Prev: Button Issue
Next: Nav Bar broken links
From: fwnovice on 30 Aug 2006 13:23 Hi, I'm a novice with fireworks but after research I've found this is the best tool to accomplish what I want. I've been to the following sites and they both are great tutorials, however I'm still a bit stumped. http://www.playingwithfire.com/tool_tips/tabs.html At the end of that tutorial it shows you a content area. How do I get the the content in that area. Also it never explains how to add the text to the tabs it just shows tab a, tab b, tab c on the last image. Also, it doesn't show how to link the tabs, and how when you click on one tab the others go to the back. Please I would appreciate any help with this.:sad;

You select the text tool from the Tools panel, click on the of the tabs, and then type. Also, it doesn't show how > to link the tabs, and how when you click on one tab the others go to the back. Sure it does. That's what the whole song and dance about the Swap Image behaviors is about. :-) -- Linda Rathgeber [PVII] **Adobe Community Expert-Fireworks** -------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.projectseven.com Fireworks Newsgroup: news://forums.projectseven.com/fireworks/ CSS Newsgroup: news://forums.projectseven.com/css/ Design Aid Kits:http://www.webdevbiz.com/pwf/index.cfm --------------------------------------------------------------
From: fwnovice on 30 Aug 2006 16:30 Hi Linda, Thanks for the reply. So I'm basically creating the entire page in fireworks? There's no way to click the tab link and the content show up in the specific content area. I wanted to have a section for the folder look and still have other content on the same page sort of like www.bellsouth.com then I wanted a frame site with another nav menu on the left frame. How do I get the page to load (when the side menu is clicked) and keep the tabbed menu in tack while displaying the content for the left menu in the content area under the tabs?

The tab element in the tutorial is not meant for building an entire page. It's just for a small element that's part of a larger HTML page. This tutorial is the one to use to create tab images to use for navigating an entire site. http://www.playingwithfire.com/tool_tips/magic_tabs.html What it doesn't do is tell you how to add the behaviors to them that enable them to be used as a nav element. That has to be done in Dreamweaver rather than Fireworks. > other content on the same page sort of like www.bellsouth.com then I wanted a > frame site with another nav menu on the left frame. Eeiikkk!! Run away! Run away! Don't do frames. :-) - Linda Rathgeber [PVII] **Adobe Community Expert-Fireworks** -------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.projectseven.com Fireworks Newsgroup: news://forums.projectseven.com/fireworks/ CSS Newsgroup: news://forums.projectseven.com/css/ Design Aid Kits:http://www.webdevbiz.com/pwf/index.cfm --------------------------------------------------------------

Hi again, I went to that site. Do I make the rectangle attached to the tabs bigger and manually add the content for each tab on each frame? Do you have any suggestions on how to manipulate the side menu? Thanks again |
