I don't have an idea what to do with it, where to place, etc. Seems that learning FW would be easier, 'cos I have a feeling that its not gonna be too easy anyway.
Trust me, it's **way** easier. Every time you create a Javascript mouseover, you have to add images to your JS arrays, or bloat up your code with inline javascript which makes it harder to maintain. Using the example of the structure of the image in that other thread, it has another advantage. Both your mouse on/mouse off states have to load two images instead of one.
And it all falls down if Javascript is not available. Your documents will be more semantically corect, easier to maintain, and easier to expand. Combining the ideas in that other thread, you have something like this.
<doctype [use whatever doctype you like]>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
/* Your CSS styles go here */
</style>
</head>
<body>
<ul id="navigation">
<li><a id="home" href="/">Home</a></li>
<li><a id="about" href="/about.html">About us</a></li>
<li><a id="contact" href="/contact.html">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
<h1> Page head</h1>
<p>Page content</p>
</body>
</html>
Compare that with the junk FW or DW spits out . . . you can't deny the clarity of the difference. :-)
