Navigation Tabs

I have a dumb question

[bgclean]

How do I make my navigation tabs work from a website header that I made with fireworks?

I just started building websites and have most of the basics down, but I need to know how to make the "home" "contact us" "about us" etc.. buttons work?

I know I need the coordinates or something like that to make it work? Or maybe some type of script?

Please help

Thank you,
Bobby

Welcome to the forums, bgclean. If you slice up the image that contains the menu tabs so that each one is a separate image file, then you can just use a regular link.

<a href="http://www.example.com/"><img src="home_tab.gif" alt="home" width="111" height="22"></a>

This is a better appraoch, in general, but because you mention coordinates, you may be thinking of a client side image map. Here's an instructional page where you can experiment.

You question can't be answered in a quick post. Get a good Fireworks/Dreamweaver book, read, practice and learn. You could also search for tutorials on the web. Another route is to buy a website template and study how it's done.
